Booked for Anniversary

Chef Orfeo, truly made our anniversary dinner a very memorable experience. We required a fine dining experience from the comfort of our home due to having a 6 month old baby with us and this is exactly what Chef delivered. The food was exquisite. From the starters to the main to the dessert, everything tasted fantastic and was presented fabulously. Chef explained each dish to us and how it was made (everything was hand made by his team) and all ingredients used for all the dishes took into account our requirement for halal meat and no alcohol being used. Chef was informed of our baby before hand and during the event even took the time to give us pauses in-between the dishes when needed to tend to the baby. With his experience and heritage it is only a matter of time before Chef and his business go huge in UK. I look forward to booking an event with Chef very soon and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to have a fantastic Italian experience for their palate in the comfort of their own space. The Carbonara Chicken Tagliatelle and the Tiramisu are the 2 best dishes I have ever eaten and would give them 6/5 stars.

Booked for Wedding

We will be forever grateful to Dawn and her team for the huge part they played in making our wedding celebration the best day of our lives. Right from our first communication, Dawn was a pleasure to deal with, so professional, flexible and accommodating. She tailored the menu to exactly how we wanted it and delivered everything promised and more. We were able to relax and enjoy the day, knowing Dawn and the team had everything taken care of. The food was absolutely amazing! All our guests spent the evening raving about how delicious the food was and how it was the best wedding food they'd ever had! Thank you so much to Dawn and the Carriburton team for helping us have the most special day ever! Liz and Stephen

Carly was entertaining, knowledgeable and we all had a great time. She went above and beyond doing mocktails for the kids so they weren’t left out. Will definitely be using again! Thanks for a great experience
