Booked for Birthday party

Disappointed as the chef pulled out late in the day some emergency, he did send a replacement chef, fair enough The service was good presentation good just very disappointed with the quality of the steak, really chewy , just felt didn’t measure up to the price paid. Also all very fast , kind of felt they were in and out as fast as they could.

Booked for Birthday party

Artan cooked for us for my mother's 70th birthday. We decided to go for a private chef as she didnt want to go out so this was the best option for us. Artan's menu looked awesome and it didnt disappoint! We had the scallops, lamb and trio of desserts. We also had the canapes. He arrived in good time, got set up straight away and quickly served us pre-dinner canapes. They were fantastic, especially the chicken skewers and dip! The rest of the meal was very high restaurant quality, the portion sizes were big as well so we didnt feel left empty and Artan came in and described each dish as it came out. We sat down the whole evening and he served everything to us so it was like being in a resturant which was great. He even cooked some kids meals we bought for the children and served them up along with the adults' meals. Artan then left the kitchen as if no one had been in there and cleaned up everything. Overall, it was a fantastic evening and if we did this again, we wouldn't hesitate to ask Artan back. The only thing we would have liked was to get to know Artan more as he seemed like a really nice guy, but covid meant we didnt have as much interaction as we would have liked, but thats no bad reflection on Artan, just the pandemic! 5 stars and highly recommeded!!

Booked for Wedding

Our intimate wedding breakfast was served by James and his colleague. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. They could have potentially need an extra pair of hands to make the serving a little quicker table to table but it didn’t spoil it for us! Thank you!

Booked for Birthday party

Cinzia was amazing from the very start of the process until the end. Very attentive and accommodating to our needs and wants. She offers a wonderful array of dishes in her menu and we were blown away with the presentation and quality of the food. The taste was exquisite and beautifully made. Cinzia was perfectly punctual and offered the most professional and friendly service. Will definitely hire again and would recommend! Thank you so much!

Booked for Private party

Silvestre was highly efficient and responded positively with a menu to meet our needs. He arrived promptly and left the kitchen clean and tidy having washed up both his own equipment and any utensils etc. of ours that he had used. The food was delicious and plentiful. We received many quotes through Poptop and judged that he provided a varied menu at a realistic cost. We would have no hesitation in recommending Silvestre's services and using him again. He is a very convivial person with a charming personality and when serving interacted with our guests in a cordial yet respectful way.

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.
