This photo is from last night’s Private Dining At Home, Seasonal Tasting Menu for eight guests in Soller, four of whom were children between 13 and 4 years of age.

Children, as you might imagine, are by far my hardest audience. My food is designed to challenge what you know, and younger ones are naturally more cautious to take a leap of faith. This means winning them over gives me the greatest pleasure.

Last night’s four year old looked unimpressed at kick off, but I am happy to say was won over at the first canapé - Prawn and Calamar Toast Rolls.

At another private Tasting Menu last week, I was told the four fussy eaters under 12 would unlikely try anything beyond white pasta. As they finished every last mouthful of my multi-course Asian menu, the parents around the table were left asking, ‘How an earth did you do that, Piers?’. (Many hours of love, sweat and magic in the kitchen, I wanted to reply).

As you might sadly expect due to the treacherous impact of COVID this year, many restaurants on Mallorca have already closed early, some never opened, and those able to stay open are now starting to wind down for the season.

We are lucky enough to be able to continue offering our services to private groups of currently up to 8 guests (in line with government regulations), in the comfort of your own home, and throughout the winter months here on the island. Adhering as always to the strictest health and hygiene standards in line with COVID requirements.
