Booked for Birthday party

This was a gift for someone so I didn’t get to taste. However, the recipient was very pleased, said it was well presented and tasted lovely and fresh a lovely wee treat

Samantha Carr-pell19 Aug 2020

Booked for Anniversary

Absolute superb dinner courtesy of Matt for our anniversary dinner both my partner and myself absolutely loved it . Thanks Matt for a delicious meal . Matt left the kitchen immaculately clean like he had never been . He was punctual, friendly and professional would definitely recommend even better quality than restaurant food in my opinion will definitely recommend to friends and colleagues.

Booked for Birthday party

We booked Real Food Chefs to help celebrate my wife’s birthday with a small dinner party. Marcus and Davis were warm, friendly, the food was fantastic and the kitchen was left sparkling clean. From our initial booking Marcus offered a brilliant menu with lots of variety and kept us up to date in the run up to our event about the great local produce he’d be using, which was a really nice touch. On arrival Marcus and Davis were so friendly, we felt instantly comfortable having them there. They were there to answer any questions and tell you about the food, but not intrusive and never too much. The main event, the food, was phenomenal and was incomparable to our other experiences with private chef hire. The flavours were well balanced, food beautifully cooked and well presented…so good I forgot to take any pictures! As a meat eater, I’m always reluctant to try my wife’s vegetarian dish, however the vegetarian wellington was so tasty I had to try it a couple of times. At the end of an amazing three courses, I headed to the kitchen, nervous of what I’d find and to my complete surprise the kitchen was tidier and cleaner than Marcus had fount it, crazy considering he’d prepared so many different dishes for each course. Thank you again for a lovely evening, we will be booking Real Food Chefs again soon.

Booked for Corporate Function

On the first day the vendor arrived to the wrong address which caused delays getting started, but after that there were no problems at all and the students loved the popcorn and candy floss. Thank you.

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
