Claire Silver13 May 2024

Booked for Private party

Exceptional service and quality of food. A huge thank you to Chef Silvestre for catering a work dinner at my home. Everyone loved the food and I can't recommend more highly. My husband are already planning our next event so we can book again!

Jennifer13 Feb 2023

Booked for Celebration

The menu was exactly as listed but with a few tweaks the chef did to make it his own. The overall experience was perfect- Andy our chef was great. Very professional and friendly as well as being able to cope with the air B and B kitchen set up and the fact that he was basically cooking in front of us for the whole night. We've already said we would use the service again and we're looking forward to picking the option for the menu. Smooth and easy to complete with poptop and dine indulge

Kelly Lawton15 Nov 2021

Booked for Birthday party

Paul and Charlie were very friendly and professional. The food was exceptional - we all thoroughly enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend the whole experience - fine dining in the comfort of your own home.

Sue Kitchener8 Jul 2021

Booked for Birthday party

James Howe was marvellous, arrived on time, prepared and served up excellent food and cleared up. Sharpened my knives too which was an added bonus!! Would certainly book him again and recommend him to others - he was great to have around!

Sophie1 Jan 2020

Booked for Private party

Sean cooked us a lovely three course dinner for our new year’s eve party. Excellent food and service on the night and good communication on the run up to the event. We had a number of challenging dietary requirements in our party and they were all handled brilliantly.

Chloe Wise25 May 2019

Booked for Hen party

Sean was fantastic! He came to the house and cooked us a totally delicious brunch with fruit platters, pastries and a full english each for 17 people - he was totally calm and collected and it meant we could all enjoy our morning together and not worry about cooking (or cleaning up!). Could not recommend using Sean more.

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.

Do I need to provide crockery, cutlery, or any other kitchen appliances?

This depends on the private chef that you choose. Some of our suppliers provide all the necessary things for cooking and serving your dishes, others will use your kitchen appliances—you can find out this information on each service card. But if you have any queries, you can always contact your chef directly.
