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 Birthday party

We were so lucky to have found Nathan on Poptop! He fully engaged with my dream of having a Medieval-themed birthday meal, using his incredible creativity and culinary skills to produce a 3-course meal that was so flavoursome and generous in portion size. Nathan was friendly and professional throughout the whole booking process. Nothing was too much trouble. Nathan and Noah arrived promptly to our AirBnB 'castle', produced their beautiful spread, leaving the kitchen cleaner than they found it, and with 16 very content, full and exceptionally gracious guests. I would absolutely recommend Nathan to anyone. You are in for a treat!

Booked for Hen party

Chef Pat was excellent. It was our first time booking a private chef, his menu was brilliant and he accommodated all of our dietary requirements. The food on the day was superb and his service was brilliant. Would not hesitate to use again, thank you Patryk!
