ABOUT fourth floor

CHEF ALISON MARSHALL
 

I have always been passionate about fine food, and to cook and share food with my family or friends has always given me great pleasure.
 

I studied in Tuscany, Italy at a week-long residential cooking school; and I enjoyed a day course with Rick Stein in Padstow, England.
 

Recently I embraced the opportunity to study at Le Cordon Bleu (Kuala Lumpur) whilst living in Malaysia. This was a fantastic experience with inspirational Chefs as my tutors and mentors.

Under Chefs Stéphane Frelon and Sylvain Dubreau, I completed my Diplôme De Cuisine in 2022, and in 2023 under Chef Sarju Ranavaya, I completed Level 1 of my Diplôme De Patisserie.


In 2023, I travelled to Paris, France where I studied at Le Cordon Bleu and gained my certificate in Cours Intensif d’Oenologie.

Enjoy one of the beautiful hand-made cakes that Alison creates. A lot of love and care has been taken

to bring to you a range of cakes that are all

a little bit different.

Simply order the cake of your choice, and please advise Alison at that time of any dietary requirements. 


The menu changes frequently so there is always something new and exciting to try!

Enjoy Fourth Floor dining in your own home. Delicious food with zero fuss!  All of the dishes are presented on serving platters, ready for you to pop onto your table. The hot options are fully cooked, and simply require reheating – full instructions are given.

 

Choose the options you would like from the Catering Menu, and advise Alison of how many guests you are having. It is that simple. Also please advise of any dietary requirements.

 

Contact Alison to discuss your upcoming dinner party and leave all of the hard work to me. Dishes are based available in 6, 8 and 10 people sizing.
