Booked for Wedding

What a perfect evening! We hired Mustafa to cater our post-elopement wedding dinner. It was a small party (including our young son), and the food surpassed all our expectations! Mustafa was in regular contact prior to the event, making sure he knew exactly what we wanted. He was friendly, professional - and I'm convinced he left the kitchen cleaner than when he arrived. I would not hesitate to book him again, 5 stars all round from us. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Booked for Anniversary

We had such a lovely and relaxed evening with Edward, I requested a few changes to the menu - to which he happily obliged, and the meal was fantastic. It was such a lovely meal and we can't stop talking about the food! Thank you to Edward and we will definitely be using him in the future for further bookings. Best Kat

Booked for Hen party

I'm a PA and I just arranged a hen party for eight lovely ladies and their feedback was excellent. Everything was delivered as promised on the day. In the arrangements leading to the event, the communication from the team was beyond helpful. Thank you to the team at Five and especially Georgiev for creating very special memories for the Hen. Also, the girls wanted to add that hygiene was exceptional and thank you for leaving the kitchen cleaner than when you started. 10/10.

Booked for Birthday party

I read a few reviews when looking to book a private chef for my wife's 40th Birthday, and have to say that Andy and Caroline already came highly recommended by previous customers. I can honestly say that it is not hard to understand why. From the very first phone call Andy was extremely personable and enthusiastic about putting on the perfect meal for my event. He took into account all of the likes and dislikes of my party to pull together a mouthwatering initial menu from which I could narrow down the selection for the dinner. Caroline provided expert wine guidance which really helped pull together the evening. When they arrived at the venue Caroline decorated the table beautifully whilst Andy set up camp in a kitchen which was not familiar to him with no fuss. The food was outstanding, obviously I take all the credit for the choices I made, but in all seriousness the canapes were amazing and set the tone perfectly, the starters that followed were absolutely divine and the homemade foccacia was a joy to behold. The main course continued the culinary excellence and the desserts perfectly rounded off the meal. Or so I thought....then they brought through coffee and petit-fours. The food was not only delicious but also very generous in its portions, and this is coming from a family of over-indulgent eaters! I can't recommend Andy and Caroline high enough and hope I get the opportunity to use them again soon!
