Booked for Christmas party

Edward and Nick were very prompt, apologising for the few minutes delay due to a road accident; they had already advised me about the delay whilst en route. They laid the table out very attractively with Christmas decor. the canapes were excellent and beautifully presented. The whole 5 course meal was very nice indeed and the service was excellent. The attention Nick paid to the two little ones was really appreciated by all of us. Ed's cuisine was lovely. We all had a wonderful family christmas lunch. Thank you Ed and Nick !

Booked for Birthday party

Brendan was quick at communicating to find details of what was required. He let me know the evening before what time the afternoon teas would be delivered. They arrived as suggested in lovely white boxes. Everything inside was delicious. The bread was so fresh and the cakes were stunning. Would definitely use Taylored Catering again.

Booked for Christmas party

We hold an annual friends Christmas party. This was the first time we have used a private chef, and will definitely be doing so again. The choice of menu that was available was amazing, almost too difficult to choose, and the company was great to deal with in the lead up to the event. On the night James arrived promptly and after being shown where everything was, just gone on with the preparation of the meal. The food was delicious, the service great and at the end of the meal the kitchen was left spotless. I would definitely recommend Chef at Home by James Howe 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.
