Booked for Birthday party

Chef Orfeo was outstanding! He agreed to cater for a 21st birthday party at short notice. 15 people. Food was outstanding -best pasta I have ever eaten. Free of charge he catered for my husband and I sitting separately and not part of the ask. Incredible food, passion for his work and managed to deal with unexpected food issues immediately. His second chef was as brilliant and personable. We will definitely be doing this again.

Booked for Birthday party

This was organised as a surprise for my hubby's birthday. The whole event went smoothly, from choosing the menu, adding the wine and welcoming the chef. We chose the French menu with the associated wines. Our chef was fantastic - very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for him. It was a stress free evening and it was such a pleasure to actually enjoy the meal and company as opposed to getting up and going to the kitchen! For each course our chef described what we were eating and I have never tasted anything as delicious as our menu that evening. If you have ever thought of having a chef at home, but have never done it, I would thoroughly recommend giving it a go.
