Booked for Birthday party

The experience of having a chef in our home was truly wonderful, allowing us to enjoy our special occasion and family time together. Karl was punctual, polite, friendly and left the kitchen looking immaculate after he'd finished cooking for us as a party of 10 people. Oh, and didi I mention how tasty the food was?? Ok, he was probably on a dead cert because we'd discussed together what the menu should be, and agreed a 3 course lunch to satisfy 3 generations... Yes, it was really lovely. Thoroughly recommend the whole service. Enjoy!

Booked for Celebration

With the last minute change of venue Ed was so flexible and accommodating. The food was amazing and it made the evening really special. We couldn’t have asked for more, and can’t recommend highly enough.

Booked for Private party

Fantastic meal and service provided throughout. I was quite late in booking the meal, and therefore slightly delayed in finalising the payment and menu choices. The customer service team were very accommodating. On the night our chef, Mark, was very professional and served us up a delicious 5-course meal for 6 people, none of us left a morsel! The kitchen was left spotless, and we had a great evening. Would highly recommend, and will definitely use the service again in the future.
