The fresh and bright interior of 3Greens reflects the menu prepared by Chef/Patron Caroline Whitney assisted by her team, whilst the front of house is run by Sophie.

Caroline has a proven track record within the industry having trained at Slough College under John Hubert. She started her career with the Roux brothers and moved on to the Savoy Group. She also ran the English side of the Orient Express for Pru Leith. After the Orient Express Caroline took on Pratt's Restaurant as part of a team assembled by Annie Foster-Firth.

Caroline and her husband later spent 18 months in Washington DC where she worked for an 'English Tea' outside catering service whilst her husband was Executive chef at the world-renowned 'Fourways' restaurant in Dupont Circle.

Upon returning to England Caroline was approached and took up the position of Restaurant Manager for The Cafe Rouge Restaurant in the Barbican. She followed that with several other city restaurants and then started her own catering agency and wound up founding the flagship catering arm of Atlas Employment agency in Oxford Street.

Once the family came along Caroline freelanced producing Directors Lunches for several Blue Chip companies as well as private and charity events.

Caroline has prepared a varied menu to suit the taste of all her prospective guests, from the ground crew and engineers who work on the aircraft to the owners of the aircraft themselves. Dishes proving most popular at the moment are, for breakfast, the traditional fried eggs, bacon, tomatoes, sausage, mushrooms and toast, the American which comprises three pancakes with maple syrup and bacon, and the freshly baked pain au raisin, pain au chocolat and croissants served with home made jam made by Caroline from the fruits of her very own garden (as are the pickles and chutneys). The most popular lunches are the 6oz steak burger, an American style Chilli with long grain rice and the selection of filled baguettes and Paninis. And the stars of the afternoon tea menu - well, throughout the day really, are Caroline's marvellous home made cakes.
