I organised a meal for 9 family members to celebrate our son’s graduation. I preordered the set menu so it was easy and stress free on the day. Staff were very friendly and helpful at all times during the run up to the day and very attentive and accommodating on the actual day. Would highly recommend the Chip - fabulous food great service.
