What to Expect - Service
The Brooklet’s open plan kitchen is designed to let you observe cooking, talk to chefs, and engage about local produce. The exclusive small group size gives a relaxed, interactive and luxurious feeling much like a private chef experience
The small size (max 10 guests) means all guests will be served simultaneously at the same time. Therefore strict arrival times apply to avoid missing courses or impacting other guests. The paced dining experience is a 2.5 hour sitting time
