I was looking for a personal Chef experience to celebrate my 60th Birthday with my partner and our 4 best friends that would be something special and I'm so glad I found and chose Poptop. With so many menus to choose from Chef Eugen's provided the choice I needed for my friends but mostly it sounded so mouth-watering just reading it and it was a great choice. Chef Eugen was really accommodating for one of my guests allergies and was able to adjust the appropriate dishes. Chef Eugen was punctual and very organised and tidy, and got on with preparing our food, insisting we just sit and relax and enjoy ourselves. The food Chef Eugen provided was just out of this world, the preparation and presentation was outstanding and we honestly did say 'wow' every time a dish was served. The quality and the size of the portions were amazing, but the taste and flavour was just incredible and to die for. We all commented that we had not tasted food so lovely before, everything was cooked to perfection. It lived up to and exceeded my expectations making my 60th Birthday celebration everything I wanted it to be and more. The whole experience and Chef Eugen was perfect and I thank you and Chef Eugen for leaving me, my partner and friends, with such a lovely memory to cherish.

The food was lovely and very well prepared. The chef was very informative when serving the dishes, and it was great to hear about the origins, location and ingredients of the food. They left the kitchen very clean and tidy. Would highly recommend.
