Booked for Birthday party

Chef Guilherme Leite and his team were amazing. Quick responses before the event and brilliant on the night. My guests all raved about the food and the service Superb value for money and I will definitely use G again. My daughter said it was the best duck she had ever tasted and the goats cheese and beetroot starter was so delicious. As for the chocolate mousse, I just want more. Nothing was too much trouble for G or his team and all my guests enjoyed the experience. 5 star service. Thank you G you were amazing.

Highly recommend Fabio from Versatile Chef Ltd. The whole experience from start to finish has been seamless, the booking process was smooth, communication between Fabio and I was excellent and during the service he was extremely professional and the food was delicious, he provided all crockery and ingredients and cleaned up before leaving, will definitely be rebooking!

What an amazing day we had with Kash and his Team!!! The food was amazing and so was their setup and delivery. Kash was attentive and his communication was spot on before and during my Husbands 40th Celebrations. I will definitely book them again for a special event. Thank you for a great day.

Booked for Birthday party

Cannot praise Christian and Chef Lopez enough for a fantastic evening of food. Professionally cooked and presented in our own kitchen and really made the occasion special. Too many favourites to mention, but all 6 of us really enjoyed it!

Booked for Birthday party

Can’t express how happy we were with Kris and Harry. Arrived on time, friendly, helpful, very efficient and very polite. Kris helped out with suggestions to my original menu, and the 3 courses were delicious, enjoyed by all our party. Kris did the cooking, whilst Harry served, and collected dishes after each course. After the meal all dishes were put away and kitchen was left spotless. Kris advised that they cover Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset and would even come to Bristol. Would have no qualms about recommending them for any function. Thank you guys for making my wife’s 70th birthday so memorable.
