Booked for Hen party

I couldn't recommend Ed enough. He made his Spanish sharing menu for my sisters hen do and every course was delicious! His hospitality was fantastic, and looked after us very well. He was very flexible, and catered extremely well for our varying dietary requirements, we had multiple allegeries and vegetarians, but he made sure everyone had enough of what they were able to eat. Ed did all the prep, cooking and cleaning up afterwards, and left the kitchen spotless. Thank you so much Ed for making the evening very special!

Amazing experience, top quality food, time between courses was just right and to top it off the kitchen was left spotless and dishwashers loaded. Would recommend for a corporate or home dinner party, it takes all the stress away and leaves you to enjoy the evening.
