Booked for Private party

Huge thank you Ed! We thoroughly enjoyed the restaurant experience in our holiday home. Delicious tastes - can definitely recommend the canapés - and perfectly cooked fillet steak. A huge treat for me and wonderful food for the family. Thank you and looking forward to meeting you again.

Booked for New Year's Eve

We cannot rate Lucas highly enough! Right from the beginning Lucas was very responsive with his communication and flexible on menu changes. He arrived on time and was polite and knowledgable. The food was literally perfect and beautifully presented. We highly recommend the beef wellington! Lucas left the kitchen spotless which was a delight. We will definitely use Lucas again and would highly recommend him.

Booked for Anniversary

We have already received a big thank you from some of our guests who were very impressed with Fabio from Versatile Chef, particularly with the quality of the Beef Wellington and the Chocolate Sponge pudding. We very much hope to be able to do the same thing again. I have already started to recommend the idea to fellow walkers from our 300 member walking group. Many thanks Sue and Steve Naylor

Booked for Birthday party

We had a fantastic Spanish sharing meal for a joint birthday celebration. Ed spent time communicating and finding out exactly what we were after prior to the event. The food was delicious and we all had a great evening.

Booked for Birthday party

Chef was amazing from the get go. Great food, bursting with flavour and presentation. Talked us through each course of the 4 courses and was accommodating to requests as well. Left the kitchen looking as good as new when he left and really made for an incredibly memorable evening. I couldn’t recommend Chef Lopez enough, what a great night! Thank you Chef!

Booked for Christmas party

Fantastic food - loved by every guest! Every course was delicious, served hot and tasted amazing. Perfect service - Colin and the team were professional, friendly and I think the kitchen was cleaner when they left than when they arrived! Could not recommend highly enough!

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.
