Booked for Anniversary

We had the most incredible experience with our private chef! He prepared an authentic Italian feast that was absolutely delicious – every course was full of flavor and beautifully presented. From fresh pasta to perfectly seasoned mains, you could tell he put so much care and skill into every dish. On top of his amazing cooking, he was such a genuinely kind and friendly person, which made the whole evening even more enjoyable. Highly recommend him if you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience at home!

Booked for Birthday party

Very impressed by Marco. He coped admirably in the small lodge kitchen; cooking and serving the 6 of us with much attention and care. The food was excellent, with particular praise for the polenta dish. The venison and duck were cooked perfectly and the coffee creme brulee was a hit. Thank you Marco. We would definitely do this again ☺️

Booked for Birthday party

Nic was outstanding. We had a very special dinner party for 18 people to celebrate a milestone birthday . We went for a 8 course tasting menu! All our guests were delighted! He set a lovely tone for our party and all the guests commented on what a true professional he was. Most importantly, the food was exceptional. It all tasted delicious and the attention to detail in its presentation was remarkable. Nik showed great care for his work and was always concerned to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves and satisfied with each course. The communication from Nik in the run up to the event was always clear, punctual and thorough. I felt totally confident in what was going to be provided. Nik and his team were very professional and left our kitchen immaculate. We would absolutely recommend this company and Nik.
