Booked for Birthday party

Outstanding from start to finish. We arranged this as a 'surprise' for our good friends and Georgi delivered on every aspect. Bev was 'blown away' to quote her. The food was amazing and Georgi is a true professional in every way. If we could award 10 stars we would. We will certainly be using Georgi again in the not too distant future and would highly recommend him. Many thanks, The Ratcliffe

Booked for Birthday party

I had never used a private chef before and decided to do so for my wife's birthday. The service provided by Food Champs and the very talented chef that arrived and completely took care of us was a perfect way to celebrate my wife's day. The food was fantastic, the chef was discrete and professional throughout and left the kitchen in a perfect state when he had finished. I would highly recommend Food Champs in the future and will look to use them again.

Wonderful dining experience, from the delicious canapés to the amazing three course meal. Mike talked us through each course and told us where the food was sourced, he was polite and funny and made the experience a memorable one. Will definitely book again.
