I recently asked Humberto to host a "school mums" event at my home. He was extremely helpful in the planning stages, helping me to create a suitable cocktail menu from his extensive repertoire. On the night, he arrived in plenty of time to set up and he looked after us all extremely well: his cocktails were delicious, the service smooth and his cocktail "masterclass" presentation good fun and informative at the same time. An excellent night all round, with the icing on the cake being that Humberto and his assistant left my kitchen immaculate!
