Booked for Hen party

Chef Lopez did a wonderful job catering for our hen party bbq! He set up quietly and professionally, checked in on preparation and eating times and made ample, beautiful food for our event! Would highly recommend him and his lovely food…

Booked for Private party

We were eight people who had the opportunity to cook beef Wellington together with Ed. It was very nice and successful. Ed is a fantastic chef and let us be part of the cooking according to our wishes. The whole event was successful and the food was very good. Ed is nice and took care of us and our kitchen in the best way. I can warmly recommend him./Tom

Booked for Hen party

Can't fault the chef alan was great however I think the food for the amount of money possibly didn't quite match up. Also the chicken main could have done with some sort of sauce

Booked for Birthday party

We had such a lovely time, it was our first “chef at home” experience for a 70th Birthday celebration. The food was delicious, the pea & mint veloute was so intense and the scallops starter cooked to perfection. Mains of the cod with mussels and duck with plum were just delicious and so generous! Just like the best restaurant but without the hassle of travelling or a designated driver!! Artan was so friendly and professional, and the kitchen was left spotless after - couldn’t ask for anything more we really enjoyed it. Would thoroughly recommend.
