Testimonials

"We have been to several of Sam's supper club meals since they started all with different historical themes. The blend of tastes is always exquisite. Sam pays great attention to detail providing beautifully presented food which really brings alive the tastes from the past".

“Sam has been a long-standing champion not only of Sussex food and drink, but also quality produce and cuisine with integrity. Over the years, she has worked alongside the Brighton & Hove Food and Drink Festival team to create and deliver superbly creative and utterly delicious events, and we look forward to her remaining as an integral part of the city and counties food and drink family”

"Myself and 11 friends and family attended Sam's lovely home for my 50th Birthday Celebration dinner. It was a very enjoyable evening and we all found the menu interesting, unusual and tasty and her "co-workers" worked hard to make it a really pleasant evening. I would thoroughly recommend Repast Supper Club and Sam is a fabulous cook!”

When it comes to entertaining I enjoy planning my menus and cooking interesting dishes for my guests.  However for my 50th birthday I decided that I wanted to enjoy being birthday girl rather than cooking so I engaged the services of Sam to prepare a buffet for 18.  Whilst I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted I was keen for Sam to make suggestions and her menu more than hit the spot.  The flavour combinations were divine and every guest commented on how fantastic the food was!

We have been to three Repast events and have enjoyed them immensely. They have each been a fascinating voyage into culinary history – taking us from  the tutor period; through the era of the British Raj, to the 1970s. We love the mix of authentic historic recipes and modern twists. Sam and Neil are also superb hosts – imparting enthusiasm, culinary knowledge and bonhomie in equal portions.

Sam will wow you with her historic themed diners and tempt your tastebuds with some delicious and exciting dishes. All ingredients will be locally sourced and of premium quality. Book in advance though, Sam will only host a maximum of 12 people and places go fast!

I have been to numerous Supper Clubs at Sam's lovely home. Sam gives you a very warm welcome. The food is always amazing. I have never tasted a rhubarb crumble with gingerbread topping like it! As well as the food being rather good, you can tell Sam has spent an awful lot of time researching each dish and then taking her time to explain to us the history behind them. I would thoroughly recommend her Supper Club to all.

Whether into food, history or just looking for a great night out, there is something for everyone at Repast. Sam’s knowledge and passion for food and history is highly infectious and you come away from one of her supper nights full of insight and delicious food. I cannot recommend her supper and luncheon clubs highly enough.

"Always a pleasure to have Sam on my show and try her tasty treats. I love the historical context she puts the dishes in and Sam's bubbly personality and knowledge”.

Jersey Heritage asked Sam to host a Victorian tea for a selection of our supporters in the traditional gas-lit surroundings of our Victorian Merchant’s House at Jersey Museum.  Sam helped us design a traditional menu and while the seed cake was eaten and the tea served,  Sam gave a fascinating talk about the social history of tea and the rules of Victorian tea time etiquette. This evocative event gave our guests a unique experience and was hugely enjoyable.
