Booked for Hen party

Orfeo was very attentive from start to finish. He cooked us a traditional 3 course Italian meal in the comfort of our own home and it was delicious. He catered for one of party who was vegetarian with no trouble at all and was available to contact any time on the lead up to our event! If you’re looking for a private chef for a special occasion I highly recommend Orfeo! Thankyou again for an amazing evening :)

Booked for Birthday party

Amazing evening, partners 40th for 13 guests. Ed couldn't do enough for us. Ed helped form the menu and made all changes requested. Helped with a wine pairing and even allowed me to add extra people at the last minute. The evening was wonderful with the food amazingly cooked. Ed would always have time for my guests discussing the menu, cooking, life anything they wanted. He brought along John who was so attentive to all guests topping up drinks all night and sharing stories. I could not have asked for a better chef and server. Ed explained all 5 dishes and the kitchen was left spotless. Catered for a celiac, fish allergy and T total would highly recommend

Booked for Birthday party

A fantastic BBQ for my husband’s birthday . Mike was constantly in touch checking on all the plans , food timings etc . On the day he arrived in very good time and set up beautifully . The food was delicious especially the lamb which everybody was raving about . We were able to have a second lunch the next day - I particularly loved the sea bass and Asian Slaw salad . We would be very happy to have Mike cook for us again . A lovely experience . Thank you

Booked for Birthday party

Great selection of chef's and menu's. Our Chef Michael Holloway was extremely talented and professional. We selected a tailored menu with him over the phone and the food was beyond our expectation. Delicious.

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.
