He looked after everybody really well and the food was outstanding. Thanks again and I will definitely be recommending you to family and friends.

Booked for Birthday party

Nick travelled to camber sands to help us celebrate a 50th Birthday. The meal he cooked for us, an 8 course tasting menu, was absolutely delicious the food was amazing and every course was beautiful. Nick was helpful in the run up to the event and let us tweak parts of the menu to suit our tastes etc. Nick ensured that the kitchen was spotless before he left and was polite and chatty the whole time he was with us! Would highly recommend and would definitely use Nick again in the future. Thanks Nick!

Booked for Birthday party

These guys were absolutely amazing. Food was awesome, nothing was too much trouble. How they did what they did we do not know but we were super impressed. 9 different immaculately presented dishes over 3 courses for 10 people without breaking a sweat. They helped make our dinner party such a memorable wonderful occasion. So friendly, relaxed, easy going and self sufficient. Laura kept our wine glasses topped up and they even supplied complimentary canapés and desert wine to say happy birthday. It was a joy to have them in our home. If you are looking to hire a private chef you won’t go wrong hiring these guys. FYI the best scallop risotto we ever tasted!!!!!!

Party Showcase — A Restaurant-Quality Private Chef Who Left the Kitchen Spotless After a Weekend Hen Do

What we loved about this event

Turning a home kitchen into an exclusive dining room might sound stressful, but this caterer makes the entire process exceptionally relaxed. During a recent hen do, the assigned chef arrived perfectly on time to prepare a fresh menu using the property's own equipment. The bridal party raved that the food was genuinely "amazing," particularly appreciating how the personable chef stood by the table and "explained all of the dishes" as they were served. Nobody had to lift a finger for the washing up either, as the chef "cleaned and tidied everything afterward" to finish off an effortless evening.

What client said

“

We booked for my friends hen do, and the food was amazing! The chef explained all of the dishes, arrived on time, food was prepared on time and the chef cleaned and tidied everything afterward. Would definitely book again!
