Ashitha Nagesh30 Apr 2023

Booked for Hen party

I hired Ed for my sister’s hen, and he was great! We were all vegan and one of us had a nut allergy, and he adapted his menu really well. We also had a last minute dish change for one of our guests, which he was a really good sport about. The food was incredible and he is a really lovely guy. We’d definitely hire him again in a heartbeat :)

Booked for Birthday party

Mario was extremely helpful prior to the event able to accomodate any changes we needed. Very profession, the food was amazing and beautifully cooked. Wide choice of canapes and main courses to choose from around the Italian theme and was able to pick my husbands favourite dishes for his birthday event. I would highly recommend Mario for any event.

Hayley Frank30 Nov 2021

Booked for Private party

Absolutely excellent from start to finish. The team catered a 4 course meal for 7 in a holiday home, the food was amazing and the service 5 star! They kept our glasses topped up and nothing was too much trouble. We are private chef converts and would use Just Graze again.

Jonathan Webb10 Oct 2021

Booked for Birthday party

What a wonderful evening George laid on for us! From the start there was excellent communication and it was clear George was totally focussed on ensuring my guests had a great evening. On the night George turned up to a completely unknown kitchen but proceeded to produce everything from scratch. All the dishes were created with the freshest of ingredients and cooked to perfection. Authentically greek and oh my, they were so tasty! Every dish was greeted with gushing praise from my guests. It was a wonderfully relaxed, unrushed evening and at the end the kitchen was cleaned from top to bottom. So thank-you George and Airey, I would recommend your services without reservation.

Booked for Hen party

Can't fault the chef alan was great however I think the food for the amount of money possibly didn't quite match up. Also the chicken main could have done with some sort of sauce

Hannah13 Apr 2018

Booked for Hen party

Chef Silvestre cooked an amazing three course dinner and canapés for my friend’s hen party - he was really helpful and adaptable with the menu, great fun and everyone was really impressed with the food. Would definitely recommend him - thank you!

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.

Party Showcase — The Sociable Private Chef Behind a Beautifully Presented Dinner Party

What we loved about this event

Bringing restaurant-quality cuisine straight into the home, the chef delivers a highly accessible and bespoke dining experience. From fresh preparation to the final kitchen clean-down, the caterers handles the hard work to ensure a genuinely relaxed atmosphere for the entire table. This hands-off approach allowed one recent host to completely switch off, noting that their chef was incredibly "punctual and sociable" while serving up dishes that were "delicious and beautifully presented." Because the group "thoroughly enjoyed" their evening without lifting a single pan, they "highly recommend" this culinary service for any special occasion.

What client said

“

Poptop made finding a private chef an easy process. Food cooked by Jamie was delicious and beautifully presented. He was punctual and socialable. We all thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Can highly recommend.
