Why we chose De Kas
The garden

For us, it connects food production

Limits and trade-offs
OUR ASSESSMENT
For guests
A fixed menu gives less choice.
Dinner prices may limit the audience.
For the business
Crops depend on seasons and weather.
Running gardens adds extra work.
The concept may be hard to copy at scale.

for a special occasion.
Ideas we would explore
Garden tours and cooking workshops.
Closer partnerships with small local farms.
We favour careful growth that keeps
a close link between growing and cooking.
Our proposals, not announced company plans
