Booked for Birthday party

We used this service to surprise a friend celebrating her 60th birthday - chef was very professional, food was delicious and it was a lovely evening where everyone was relaxed in the comfort of the house we had hired for the weekend… Will definitely do this again

The whole process was really simple, from the filtering options to find a suitable chef/price range/type of event etc, all the way through to booking. It was completely seamless.

Booked for Celebration

Fabulous meal for 17, menu was amazing and the service was spot on. Would highly recommend Richard for all private dining occasions, hugely impressed.

Booked for Birthday party

"Charlie Marriott provided a 5 course lunch on Easter Sunday to help me celebrate a significant birthday with my family. The sun shone, Charlie arrived punctually to prepare (which is more than can be said of my family!) and served us the most wonderful lunch in the garden. Every course was a delight both visually and for our taste buds. And it was such a relaxing experience for us as hosts to just leave Charlie to it. It was one of our best family days ever, and Charlie's contribution to that cannot be underestimated.. In fact, we cannot recommend Charlie highly enough. Everyone needs a Charlie and we will be making excuses to have Charlie cater for us again."

Booked for Hen party

Ivana and her colleague were absolutely brilliant and prepared a fantastic Spanish tapas meal for us (in a very small kitchen space too!) thank you so much - everyone really enjoyed it and I would definitely recommend you to anyone wanting a private chef in the Brighton area and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!

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.
