Sheila Maxwell29 Sep 2024

Booked for Birthday party

Jonathan was very friendly, professional and produced great food. The only issue was that he said he had only been told about the vegan one day before the dinner party so hadn’t had time to get all the ingredients for the vegan’s meal eg he served her strawberries for dessert. This was a little disappointing but not his fault.

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 Birthday party

I can’t rate them highly enough. Paul was very professional both in the lead up to. and the evening itself. We opted for a meal with the lava stones. The food was fabulous and exceeded our expectations. I can definitely recommend Paul and the lava stones to others. Paul cleaned everything up after the meal. It was a truly great evening for us all and an experience to remember.

Booked for Birthday party

Richard Johnson was excellent. He was very courteous, interesting and engaging. I had 2 small children sometimes mulling around and he was great with them. He was extremely well prepared so dinner was served on time, was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic. I would very much recommend him to others

Booked for Celebration

I chose menu from chef Kasia. I was able to make a few amendments. Chef Katia communicated with me via text prior to the event and was prompt on the day. She and her assistant were really nice and jovial and relaxed. They got on with what they needed to do and were very easy to get on with. The food was delicious and it did feel like a special treat on the day. I would definitely recommend having a private chef for a special event and I would also recommend chef Katia.

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.
