Booked for Birthday party

The whole thing was perfect- really lovely chef and waiter Adam and R - polite, discreet and friendly. Food was great, so so tidy! Left the kitchen cleaner than it started. I can’t recommend them highly enough, just takes the stress out completely of cooking for a large group you want to treat in your own home.

Booked for Hen party

Nathan was wonderful, everything was so delicious and he was so discreet. He arrived very promptly and even didn't mind keeping quiet to keep it a suprise for the bride upstairs, then left us at the end with the leftover popcorn which was so kind. Would thoroughly recommend!

Very professional service. I'd paid for two waiting staff as well and they were very efficient and friendly. The food quality was lovely.

Booked for Hen party

Chef Pat catered for a hen do party of 17 of us and it was absolutely fantastic! He was quick, arrived on time and got all of the requests perfect! He was extremely friendly, the food was all delicious and there was more than enough (even leftovers!!) Would hugely recommend him for any hen do private chef experience. Only thing I would mention is if there are any allergies or intolerances then do double check as some of the dishes had mussels in which weren't mentioned on the ingredients. However, despite this, he was very reactive and changed the dish so this is just a minor bit of advice to remember. Would recommend him to anyone having a party with a large group of people- Thanks so much Pat and co!

Booked for Birthday party

Everything was perfect from start to finish everything was amazing, prompt turn up time when Eugene said he was going to, his waitress Daniella was so lovely to, the presentation of food and the taste was incredible everyone couldn’t believe how good it tasted and looked forward to trying every course and left our dinner party very happy, I would definitely recommend Chef Eugene to anyone and already looking forward to booking our next event with him, thank you all again for an evening we won’t be forgetting ☺️

Booked for Birthday party

Absolutely fantastic evening - thanks again Richie. To all those thinking of making a booking - do it! Food was excellent (way better than we expected given the basic kitchen he had to cook in) and he really went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable. From wearing a mask (this was the first interaction we’d had outside our family post the lockdown, and we were a bit nervous) to not letting us pour our own drinks, to leaving us enough leftovers for another dessert the next night, he couldn’t do enough. Also very good communication before the event which was useful as this is the first time I’d used a private chef and wasn’t sure exactly what to expect. He’s also a really nice guy and knows when to get involved in the conversation and when to melt back into the background and leave us alone. I don’t normally leave reviews on sites like this but had to for Richie as was genuinely impressed. Will be booking again for our next special occasion.
