Booked for Birthday party

I was a bit nervous about hiring a private chef as it wasn't something I had done before. I chose someone who was local to the area & it transpired that I had dined at restaurants where he had worked & I had been happy with the food & service. Meeting James & his wife Natasha made me feel comfortable - James was very knowledgeable about his food & suppliers & we sorted out a menu. The occasion was a surprise birthday lunch for my husband & there were 8 of us. James & assistant arrived when expected to set up & were very professional but friendly & engaging. The event exceeded expectations. The food was beautifully presented & the flavours were delicious. The kitchen was cleared down after service & James left us with a fabulous cheeseboard to finish. I would not hesitate to recommend James and the company and I will be sure to use his services again in the future.

Booked for Birthday party

I can highly recommend Ivydining. Paul provided a buffet for my daughters 40th birthday. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. It was enjoyed by everyone. Paul was happy to adapt parts of the menu to ensure the children were catered for. Their verdict was yummy! Paul was easily contactable and always responded to messages which is reassuring. He worked efficiently and quickly. There was nothing for us to do! Most importantly of course was the oohs and ahhhs and licking of lips! Thank you Paul.
