Hi Michael,
I just wanted to let you know that myself and the group I was with all had such an enjoyable evening. It was really nice to have the event hosted in your house which was a good space / layout for it. I liked the rustic look of the tables and benches and it fitted the style of the space well. At the start there was a friendly person waiting at the door to greet us and throughout you and the other staff looked after us really well keeping us supplied with wine, water, info on what we were eating and everything else we needed. We all commented that it all seemed so calm and well organised which considering it was the first night was all the more impressive but I am sure there was a ton of hard work going on behind closed doors on the floor below. The sliding pieces of wood on the table were a stroke of genius, really clever way to present and serve / clear food easily which I’d not seen before, and also a very practical solution.
The stand out things we all pretty much agreed were the pork belly & rhubarb which was amazing, mussels had some ingredients in which are a bit unusual put together but it worked so well, asparagus and anchovy butter (so intensely tasty) and the cocktail we had when we arrived was perfect. The food looked great and was presented well, loads of attention to detail. There was plenty of food, none of us went home hungry and the courses were spaced out well through the evening.
The atmosphere was really good and relaxed, enough people to make it nice and buzzy and the live music was a very nice touch. It was still pretty intimate as everyone was sat close together on communal tables which all added to the atmosphere. The wine choices were also excellent.
All in all we thoroughly enjoyed it, especially those of us who live in New Cross as it’s a treat to have such high quality food on our doorstep and have a different experience to eating in a conventional restaurant. We really hope you do another event soon, we’ll be back for sure if you do.

Thank you Mike for such an enjoyable evening. It rivals any fine dining experience I’ve had. The food was outstanding – I loved that you didn’t overcomplicate the dishes – some innovative touches but mostly just fresh simple flavours that allowed the quality of the produce to shine. Your presentation was lovely and as a group of girls, we especially enjoyed the sharing plates. My most memorable course was fighting with eight pairs of hands over the steaming plate of asparagus, dipping the crisp stems indulgently into the (moreish) anchovy butter. You commented that the asparagus might be slightly underdone: it was perfect, and the freshest I’ve had in a long time. Other highlights were the juicy pork belly with rhubarb and the simple strawberry tart to finish. Things that made the night flow seamlessly between courses – the rolling tray down the middle of the table to deliver and remove plates, the musican quietly strumming in the corner, prompt wine and water top ups whenever bottles were emptied – meant that three and half hours flew by. We left perfectly full, and happy. I can’t wait for the next one.

Hi Mike,
Thanks so much for Weds night. The food was amazing, I loved hearing the stories about where it was all from. I also loved the casual and friendly atmosphere created by sitting with other people and sharing the food on the rolling planks of wood! Please keep me on your mailing list for future events.
Thanks,
Sam

Dear Mike,
So glad I came yesterday to your supper club – that pork belly has been
playing on my mind for the most part of today, it was so delicious. I was
amazed and the amount of work you put in, which totally paid off. Beautiful
attention to detail and so cleverly served. I want more please!
Keep up the yummy work.
Many thanks,
Holly

Thanks so much for last night. it was so lovely to go out to dinner but not feel rushed and pressured like you would in a restaurant, not to mention having all your courses decided for you – no indecision on the menu!

Fabulous feast!

For me, the evening was consistently excellent – from the daiquiri on
arrival, the live classical guitar to the ease of settling up at the end of
the night, it all worked perfectly.
And, of course, the superb food. I was particularly struck by how generous
the portions were given high quality of the cooking – I was so full I could
barely walk by the time all five courses were done. A really great night
was had by all those I was with, and we’ll all be singing your praises
anyone who’ll listen!
Thanks again,
Ben

Hi Mike,
“I love stories.. and your place and your food have given me a few more to tell.”
Thank you very much for having me. Loved the Strawberry Dacquaris and the Pork best! We’ll say hi next time we’re down at Brockley on a Saturday.
PS. How do we find out about the next time you’re having people round?
Cheers

Hi Mike!
Sorry for the slight delay, I just wanted to say thank you for one of the
most amazing culinary experiences of my life so far!
I had a fantastic time on Thursday and the food was incredible!
I wrote a little blog post about it here:

I hope all the things for the Olympics etc goes well, hopefully see you at
one of your dinners again!
All the best,

Hi there Michael
Sorry for the late reply,
I really enjoyed the evening – the food was really incredible. Really great fresh ingredients and it was nice to have each course explained a little.
The whole atmosphere was very enjoyable and the extra touches from the home made limoncello to the live music combined to make it very special and intimate – all for a super reasonable price. Would definitely come again and recommend to others

Hi Michael,
I just wanted to say we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening – amazing tastes, aromas and textures, a friendly chef who spoke very passionately about his food and a lovely natural ambience that felt very much about ‘sharing’ and enjoying every mouthful.
I liked the way you built anticipation throughout the evening. With every course, I was sad to see it go but looking forward to the next one!
The scallops were delicious. Full of delicate flavours and beautifully light. And the presentation in the shells was perfect. It made everyone smile and it made you think a little bit about where the food came from.
I loved the asparagus too. It had just the right amount of bite and I liked the generous portions as I didn’t feel too greedy reaching for a fifth, sixth, seventh piece. I wish I could conjure that bowl of asparagus right now, it was so tasty in such a basic and unfussy way.
The cherry and strawberry frozen cocktail was a fun way to unwind and start the evening and a good talking point.
Overall, everything tasted beautifully fresh and both the preparation and presentation felt very creative. Best meal I’ve had in ages and I felt quite inspired to try a bit harder the next time I have people round for dinner!
And of course it was all great value! I was actually a bit shocked at how cheap it all was.
Thanks very much for a great evening!

Review below:I found out about Mike & Ollie’s through working with Brockley Market on producing their seasonal vegetable chart and am a huge fan of their street food wraps. I was delighted to get a seat at their pop up restaurant at the end of June, however I could never have imagined just how lucky Susan, my wife, and I were. I can honestly say I have never had such a delicious and innovative eating experience. The dinner was better than any restaurant (or even home cooked) meal I have ever had and the setting can easily be as highly ranked.
Thanks guys it was just awesome.
Cheers,
Cato

Hi Michael
Very many thanks for a wonderful evening yesterday. I am sorry for not saying thank you as we left, but i was concentrating on making my way down the stairs (i was the one on crutches!). We both thought the food was amazing – a wonderful combination of ingredients that were beautifully cooked and presented, innovative, seasonal and served with panache.
Please do put me on your mailing list for future events, we look forward to revisiting
Kind regards, Mary

We really enjoyed the recent dinner, it gets better each time. The menu was interesting, seasonal and all put together and cooked really well. We particularly loved the mozzarella you made there in front of us, never seen that before. Hope you do another one soon.
Thanks, Fiona

This was the 2nd time I’ve been to a Mike & Ollie’s supper event and once
again the food was amazing, the delivery very slick and professional and
the atmosphere friendly and relaxed to boot!
If you want a memorable evening whether it’s date night or mate night this
is the place to go!
Thanks Mike and the team!

It was a charming yet exciting evening, made all the more enjoyable by the

perspective!

Hi Michael,
Dinner chez Mike+Ollie was a treat as always. Mike+Ollie use fresh, seasonal ingredients to craft a range of mouth watering dishes, each a fusion of flavours that really work together. Every detail is taken care of from the decor, lighting and music to the presentation of delicious food. A great opportunity to learn and savour new ingredients at their best, and meet people from the local community who share a passion for amazing food.
Best Wishes,
Louise

Hi Mike
Thank you once again for the fantastic meal you prepared last night
for supper club. Really really enjoyed the night, beautiful food,
cracking cocktail to start, lovely wine and a really nice bunch of
people at my table. The guys working with you all did a great job as
well. Looking forward to coming along again soon. Michaela
Sue says:
Feb 11, 2013
Wow
Thursday night was just amazing.
All four of us enjoyed our food tremendously.
Cocktail – wow! I found myself wanting another one on Friday when I was at a dull conference.
Sardines yum, likewise mussels. The Teal (which I love) was the best game I have eaten in eons.
We all thought (and Catherine is an expert on wines) that the wines were super too.
We will be recommending your little soirees to our friends.
Looking forward to coming to another one after our trip to NZ.
Cheers
And thanks
Sue, Bob, Val and Catherine.

Great meal, good atmosphere last thursday. Cocktails delicious and not too knock out, food stunning especially the mussels which were enormous but totally succulent. Not usually a great pudding fan but this one took the biscuit!!
Jo says:
Feb 20, 2013
Hi Michael,
How about…
My friends and I await with bated breath the release of dates for Mike & Ollie pop-ups. Four courses of creative and utterly scrumptious fare, from the exotic cocktail upon arrival to the exquisite dessert, is accompanied by the excitable chatter of friends (and strangers) dining together, the unpretentious topping up of wine glasses and a dude on a guitar. We’ve never had a Mike & Ollie experience that was less than awesome.
All the best,
Jo

Hello Michael
Thank you again for a great evening. This was my third visit and in fact
the evenings are so popular that between the 5 of us that attended last
night, we have 10 visits to our collective name. The menu was delicious as
always and it’s always interesting to see new venues. Will definitely be
trying to recreate the delicious scallop dish which was a simple and
impressive starter. Looking forward to the next time!
Keep having fun

I’ve been 3 times now, and every time it is just as exciting having each course roll up on the wooden planks, comprising of amazing fresh ingredients like crispy pork belly, large bowls delicious mussels, homemade elderflower sorbet, perfectly crispy squid, and of course the amazing chocolate and blood tart… YUM!
