Booked for Birthday party

Hands down, the most amazing experience and food - I'd recommend Marius to anyone and I hope to be able to use him again in the future. This was a surprise 30th birthday for my wife, where 8 of us enjoyed Marius' private chef experience in a large, rented house. I wanted to make it special and he catered for everything I asked for - including 2 additional courses creating an unreal 5 course menu. Quick replies, nothing was too much hassle and everything accommodated for. Huge menu options for each course and the ability to select 2 from each meant every guest was happy. Marius himself is such a lovely person and made the experience even better - he's warm and kind, we asked questions and he was more than happy to explain where elements were homemade, where meats were sourced from and the general process. We had conversation at times but he was also respectful that we were dining as a family too. It was a pleasure to learn about his journey, experience his amazing cooking/food and create a lasting memory for us all. Thank you, Marius & we all wish you the very best in the future.

This was a surprise 70th birthday dinner party for my wife. Edward greatly helped in the preparation of the menus giving a really good choice. He supplied 12 champagne flutes,all cutlery,plates and as advertised, cooked in his own pots and pans. The quality of the food over the three courses was first class and we were lucky enough to have Nick,Edwards waiter, which enhanced the event. It was difficult to find fault on this fabulous evening. Thank you Edward

Mario was extremely helpful prior to the event able to accomodate any changes we needed. Very profession, the food was amazing and beautifully cooked. Wide choice of canapes and main courses to choose from around the Italian theme and was able to pick my husbands favourite dishes for his birthday event. I would highly recommend Mario for any event.
