We had an amazing time at Hochi Muma. The food was next level. Our waitress Mariah was a true gem. She explained our food choices, guiding us to try a couple of dishes. Book early as ours was last minute and we could only get an outside table. Brilliant experience.

We booked the Mother’s Day lunch. The food was delicious and plentiful. The ladies were treated to a rose each and a complimentary cocktail from the roaming cart. The staff were very attentive. We had two people with special dietary requirements. They were both catered for perfectly. The views are spectacular. Highly recommend this venue.
