Booked for Birthday party

Fabio was a star! He was great from the start accommodating with the menu choices - right through to the end leaving the kitchen spotless! The food was amazing, he brought his own crockery, he served everything up whilst we enjoyed our evening. He was flexible around timings in between courses to allow us to do our murder mystery, and presented everything beautifully. Would highly recommend, and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again!

Booked for Stag Party

Lovely fresh, tasty food provided by Francesca and very responsive and attentive. Very kindly gifted some sauces to the stag too which was a special touch, thank you! Portions were a little too big for us but allowed left overs for the next day. Thank for the experience

Chef Eugen is great, and my family had a memorable experience (birthday). He explained each dish, and it was delicious! We would book him again for another event in the future. Highly recommend Chef Eugen for your dinner party.

Absolutely fantastic service and food was superb. Can't recommend highly enough and everyone who attended wanted Ben's details! Ben was extremely friendly, punctual and left the kitchen spotless. I'm sure we will be booking again soon!

"I have no problem in recommending Chef at Home. James turned up and quietly and efficiently prepared the most delicious meal served to our table. When he left the kitchen was spotless and no trace of a meal having been prepared I would certainly use his services again"

Booked for Birthday party

Brian and his wife Anne make a fantastic team, providing not only amazing food but an evening to remember. It couldn’t have been closer to the description given prior. They came, they cooked, they cleaned, they left (leaving behind great memories in the process). Brian provides great annecodotes of his professional career, cooking for the rich and famous, gave us pro tips on how he achieved the results in his food and being a local shared in on the banter of our guests. Could not of asked for 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.
