We were eight people who had the opportunity to cook beef Wellington together with Ed. It was very nice and successful. Ed is a fantastic chef and let us be part of the cooking according to our wishes. The whole event was successful and the food was very good. Ed is nice and took care of us and our kitchen in the best way. I can warmly recommend him./Tom

Ed stepped in at the very last minute after I was let down. Ed, given he had only 48hrs notice came up with a menu that suited me and my guests, then supplied the most beautiful meal. From start to finish Ed looked after me and my guests. And even washed up. The whole experience was five star and I will definitely be having Ed back. Again fantastic is all I can say.
