Booked for Private party

Great experience with Chef Pat - we booked for him to provide a meal for our parents, aunts and uncles as a thank you. Pat was quick to respond during the lead up and prompted us to pick menu choices, provide address and complete final payment the week before. Our loved ones told us that the meal was delicious and that Pat is a lovely bloke! Would recommend for sure :) thanks Pat!

Booked for Anniversary

From the booking process to meeting our wonderful chef and waitress and to experiencing the outstanding gourmet food, everything was just perfect. Mario and Marta are professional and also lovely. Nothing was too much trouble and they made our 25th wedding anniversary as special as we wanted it to be. Highly recommend

We can’t praise Ed highly enough! We changed the number of guests from 4 to 6, added canapés & nothing was too much trouble. The kitchen at the cottage was not ideal & the cooker was a bit elderly but the food was not only beautifully presented but absolutely delicious! My husband said that the beef Wellington was the best he’d ever eaten! My son & daughter-in-law are already planning to book Ed again for their joint 40th birthday party & I’m sure we’ll find some excuse to bring him up to Lincolnshire. Private dining is an absolute treat - not even any washing up afterwards & the ability to totally focus on our guests. I can thoroughly recommend Ed to anyone needing his services.

Booked for Birthday party

Our chef Nick was amazing! He was professional, fast and super attentive. We encountered a problem with the oven just as the main was going to get cooked, he worked around not having an oven and still produced fantasic meals! He made my husbands lockdown birthday perfect and I can't thank him enough!

Luxury, fine dining was provided with a minimum of fuss by Riad and Sarah. The food was exquisite, every diner was complimentary. They are wonderful, friendly, and warm people, providing beautiful food from canapés, to a three course meal all cooked from fresh and served to the table. I would highly recommend Zachary Jaxon Events and will be finding reasons to use them again. Thank you Sarah and Riad, thank you xx (pictures show one of the three choices per course we had. We enjoyed so much we forgot to photograph the rest)

"Hi Hungry Chefs were excellent! They could not have been more accommodating to my family and I. The whole experience was amazing, the food was delicious, their attention to detail was fantastic and we definitely want to use them again. They have their service down to an art! Thanks Kavita and family"
