Gilly Plested25 Feb 2025

Booked for Private party

Stuart wowed us with his fantastic food. The starter was one of the nicest I've ever eaten and all the other dishes were super tasty and presented beautifully. If we have another event, we would definitely choose Stuart to cater for us again. He certainly provideds high quality restaurant food at home and would have no hestitation in recommending him to other people.

Booked for Anniversary

Celebtrating our Sapphire jubilee. Very adaptable to our party's needs, which included 5 children. Stoyan was prompt, efficient and very friendly. The service was very hygenic and clean. The prawns were very tasty as a starter and the salad was also good. The children especially enjoyed their chicken souvlaki. We adults all thought the baklavas were absolutely amazing. Would definitely recommend.

Booked for Private party

"I booked Chef Michael for a family lunch in the comfort of our own home. Chef was very organised. We spoke beforehand about special diets and the set up, and he arrived promptly on the day well prepared. The meal was delicious with everybody going home full and talking about the tasty chicken sauce and light berry mousses. I opted for a server, Michael, who was a delight and added wonderfully to the whole experience. Chef Michael offered a great experience and even provided child friendly versions of some dishes so the babies could join in (thank you). Highly recommend."

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.
