Alia Ashour23 Apr 2023

Amazing experience! The chef was so lovely and gave us explanations of each dish. The food was exceptional! Each guest individually commented on how amazing the quality of the food was - we were blown away to have that level of service and food in the comfort of our own home. Couldn’t recommend Mike enough! Would have his service again in a heartbeat

Molly and Charlotte arrived and swiftly unpacked their things, we were told to sit back and relax, things happened quickly and seamlessly and shortly after their arrival Charlotte called us through to the table. The spring rolls were delicious as was the dip, steak for the next course came beautifully plated and also tasting delicious with a glorious peppercorn sauce, we chose the sticky toffee pudding and the creme brûlée for our dessert which just about finished us off. Molly introduced each course and asked if anyone had any questions. The service was perfect as was the cooking, all looking very effortless, everything was washed and put away, the kitchen was left spotless and we were left very very pleased. I would ONE HUNDRED PERCENT RECOMMEND Molly and Charlotte. It was a fantastic treat for my birthday.

Cinzia is a fantastic chef! We had a brilliant meal and she was a joy to speak with. It was a real pleasure having her home. We ate the following: Homemade bread and olives Home made tagliolini, parmesan cream, black truffles. Aubergine Parmigiana Asparagus, courgette and Almond Ricotta Home-made Classic Tiramisu Chocolate and hazelnut truffles

I booked Richie for my partners birthday as we were worried about going out during this time. It was the most amazing evening, all thanks to Chef Richie and the most delicious food we were served. I had ordered drinks from a cocktail company which Richie then took the time to prepare and serve us which was a lovely bonus. As my partner and I have different tastes, I had asked Richie if we could have two separate mains which he was more than happy to do. Overall my partner and I had an amazing time and loved every second of the experience. So much so that we are booking in Chef Richie for a bigger family meal in the near future.

Ivana was amazing! She’s was so helpful and communicative before our event, and on the day she was friendly, relaxed and professional. Her cooking was excellent and really made our entire trip. I would completely recommend her. Thank you!

Gareth cooked a lovely three course Sunday dinner for 15 of us. Food was amazing, there was plenty of it and we were eating left overs all evening. We also had a complementary cheese board which was a great extra. Gareth left the place clean and tidy which was much appreciated. Overall a great chef and excellent value for money. I would recommend I'll Cook You Pour to others.

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.
