This was a totally new experience of a chef coming to the house to cook for us so I didn’t know what to expect. Edward was very helpful and accommodating each time we spoke before Christmas Day. On the day he was very punctual, he was very friendly and chatty. He familiarised himself with our kitchen and got straight to work. The food was served on time, it was delicious and everyone loved it. Edward cleaned up and put the dishwasher on and left the kitchen how he found it. Would definitely use him again and definitely recommend him.

We ordered the wine pairing to go with our meal yet we didn't receive anything to tell us what wine went which meal. The chef made a guess but he said this should of been provided.

I cannot recommend Food Champs enough. They were fantastic! The food was delicious, creative and perfectly done. We had them cook for a 50th birthday at our home, and we could not have asked for a more special meal/time. Definitely book them!

We absolutely loved our experience. I was a bit worried about organising everything for our event (a hen do in a rental cottage in the middle of nowhere) but everything was made so easy for us and went without a hitch. Great portions and cooked to perfection, the food was absolutely fantastic and was talked about for days afterwards! Thank you!!

Chef Silvestre cooked an amazing three course dinner and canapés for my friend’s hen party - he was really helpful and adaptable with the menu, great fun and everyone was really impressed with the food. Would definitely recommend him - thank you!

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.

The Perfect Dinner Party

This menu showcases my favourite foods. Using locally sourced ingredients from some trusted suppliers as knowing where the produce comes from and how it has been treated is very important to me. Each dish has a story to tell along with the supplier and producer themselves, and I love to tell the story while cooking and serving.

About supplier

I have been cooking for over 20 years, having started in the Royal Navy and then a stint in London working for Gordon Ramsay at Petrous under the guidance of Marcus Waring. I then came home to Southampton working for Alex Aitken at the former La Poussin.
