Booked for Anniversary

We had such a fantastic evening with Ed. We wanted to do something special for our parents 40th wedding anniversary and Ed exceeded our expectations. From the initial enquiry Ed was great with comms, very flexible and professional. From arrival on the night it was clear we were in safe hands - he served an amazing 3 course dinner to suit everyone’s taste and dietaries. My mum whose a real fish lover said her scallops were the best scallops she’s ever had. Ed was so friendly and we really enjoyed our evening. I would absolutely recommend him and we would love to book him again in future.

We had a great day celebrating my husbands 60th with family and friends. The service was first class. First time ever used a private chef and would not hesitate to recommend Simon James Catering. The chef and the other staff member we had were superb.

The Spanish Extravaganza Menu with Paella

This is a Spanish experience, starting with classic combination of melon and jamon iberico. Then is followed by a paella cooked from scratch, and to finish you have a traditional creme Catalan. This is a Mediterranean food idea, stay at the table sharing and enjoying.

About supplier

I'm naturally from Portugal so Spanish food is also one of my "natural" things, it's my neighbor's cousin. Also, I love the tapas' idea of sharing. Nibbling and interacting is the best thing for a Mediterranean person like me.
