Booked for Birthday party

The whole thing was perfect- really lovely chef and waiter Adam and R - polite, discreet and friendly. Food was great, so so tidy! Left the kitchen cleaner than it started. I can’t recommend them highly enough, just takes the stress out completely of cooking for a large group you want to treat in your own home.

Booked for Birthday party

Five provided a meal for a birthday party for 13 family. The meal was really good quality for the price and tasted delicious. My only issue was my concern near the event that I wasn't contacted and late arriving at the venue, a phone call would have relieved any anxiety. Thank you so much for such a lovely meal, adapted for our family and the food was great quantities and the service was really friendly so our family could just enjoy the evening. The kitchen was left spotless and I would definitely use again.

Booked for Anniversary

Great communication from company! Chef Paul phoned day before and he was outstanding! The food was delicious and beautiful! Would highly recommend this as something different and enjoyable to do!

Booked for Birthday party

We were so impressed with the quality of the catering provided for my birthday party. The three course meals provided were exceptionally good value for money. AG (the caterer) worked really quickly to prepare our selected dishes and cleared everything away afterwards. Everyone commented on how fabulous the food was. I cannot recommend this company highly enough.

Booked for Hen party

"We hired a chef to cater for a dinner shared by 14 people as we stated in a rented holiday home. The food our chef made us with was delicious and generous portions. He left the kitchen spotless. He worked really hard from 2.15 until serving our dinner at 8 and after asking for a little rest between courses, we felt a little less rushed. Two or three of us were asked to help him serve the food once it was plated up and he made the Diane steak sauce once we asked for it. Once he had remembered we were celebrating and needed to use the space a little too in order to prepare drinks etc he softened his manner and became more amenable. Our only issue was over his brash attitude on arrival and thought that, although we appreciate he has been very busy, as he was ‘the face’ of your company he might want to be a little curt and seemingly cross with his customers and stay to clear the last plates away. I have rated the whole experience a 4 asthe company on the whole were very helpful throughout the booking process, the menu was varied and food tasty. Our chef mellowed over the evening and all the guests thought it was value for money. Thank you for helping us in organising the evening."

Booked for Celebration

Chef at home provided an excellent service for our family celebration. The food was produced professionally and at the time requested. James did particularly well providing a special meal for one guest who was vegetarian, glueten and dairy free. Carla his assistant did an fantastic job helping us relax and unwind, as well as providing service to the table. We highly recommend James as a home chef who provides high quality food and excellent service.

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.
