Looking Towards Summer

2020-04-30T10:54:54+01:00

It's been a busy week but productive and fruitful all the same with fantastic news to report. I had a message from Trip Advisor a few days ago telling me that Naturally Chinese had won the 2014 Certificate Of Excellence acknowledging us for our consistent top ratings from Trip Advisor travellers. I am really touched by the responses that I have received about the restaurant and our service. It's never short of a challenge to keep the food and service to the highest standards expected but I am so thankful for a team that works hard to do their best. When [...]

Tea Tasting Affair

2020-04-30T10:54:54+01:00

Dim Sum Cookery Class

It's one long party continuing into next week. This Monday, the 12th of May, Naturally Chinese will be hosting a Dim Sum Cookery class as part of the events lined up during the Surbiton Food Festival. This class was brought back by popular demand and I thought it to be the perfect time to host during the festival. If you are curious to unravel the secret behind char shiu buns, then this class will show you how. Our top chef, Chiu will take you through this simple and sought after craft. Also enjoy a sampler dim sum before you get your [...]

Surbiton Village Fete

2020-04-30T10:54:54+01:00

A few last minute preparations to make before Saturday's Village Fete. This year, I hear there are going to be more people attending, so I want to be well stocked and ready. If you are looking for a way to spend your afternoon with friends and family this weekend, head down to St. Andrew's Square, Surbiton. There's a host of local artists and musicians to entertain all afternoon, various competitions and games to enter for all ages, your local restaurants serving some of your favourite treats to enjoy while you bask in the park, and much more. Children have a ball [...]
