Booked for Birthday party

We had such an amazing celebration lunch for my mother's 80th birthday yesterday. Christos, Abi and Georgia couldn't have been more professional and attentive. Thanks very much.

Booked for Private party

Simon was fantastic from the extensive menu options and short notice to prepare to the delicious food and professional service...everything was wonderful! I would highly recommend his services. We had a 3 course meal, 11 people at our Airbnb which was organised with only 2 days notice. He has great menu choices for vegetarians and was extremely accommodating for our vegan guest. 5/5 thanks Simon!

Booked for Celebration

Was so nice to have a chef to come and cook for us for a change. The food was delicious and the presentation was lovely. Even the little details of the flowers on the table. The chef and staff were very friendly and polite. I will definitely use again for future events.

Booked for Wedding

I booked Food Champs for my mother's wedding dinner and Csaba the chef was phenomenal. The entire service was perfect from booking to the moment he left our home. It was the best meal the group had ever eaten and Csaba was so friendly and professional. He left the kitchen spotless! I would highly recommend Food Champs and we are already talking about booking them again for a 60th birthday party. The chef made the wedding day so special. The alternative would have been for the wedding party to eat outside on a very limited menu due to the pandemic, so this service is such a fantastic choice for events right now (and at any time in the future!). Just wonderful. Thank you Csaba!

Booked for Birthday party

Tony was great, the food was beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. Also the booking process was efficient and very easy. We would definitely use this service again, our only regret was not taking pictures of the food!

Booked for Hen party

Marcello cooked us a wonderful, very tasty 3 course meal on the 18th May for my sisters hen party which was for 13 people. This included a glass of bubbly, a talk through the history of pasta which was very interesting and a food demonstration of ravioli – which was delicious and great fun to learn how to make fresh pasta. Marcello and John were the perfect hosts, very friendly and made the evening very special, catering for our every need. Not only were we cooked for, but the food was served and the chef’s cleaned up too, which was a very nice treat! I would highly recommend Marcello, we had such a wonderful evening and it really made the hen weekend.

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.

Signature Autumnal 6 Course Tasting Menu

5.0(4 reviews)

• 1 booking

Six courses built around whatever's best that particular season — right now that means beetroot-cured trout with horseradish and rye, a pheasant and wild mushroom terrine, and slow-braised beef short rib finished with a red wine and juniper jus, all rounded off with a spiced plum tart. The menu changes through the year to track what's genuinely in season. Ask about swapping the short rib for venison, or adding a Peak District cheese course to finish.

About supplier
