Chef Fabio was wonderful. We were happy that he engaged with us but allowed us to have our party. The food was served on time and it was delicious. It looked so good too. I must admit I’ll be doing this again sometime soon.

Booked for Celebration

Having a chef cook a 5 course fine dining menu in our kitchen really made our celebration special. Each course was beautiful presented and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend kale dining and would not hesitate to use them again. Communication was brilliant and he even did the washing up before he left!!

Booked for Birthday party

What can I say apart from fantastic! The chef was great and dressed our table beautifully, the food was outstanding and all cooked fresh ( can’t believe he made chocolate fondant from scratch with us all watching). Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending and have passed in your details to the lodge owner to pass on to any future guests. Thanks to everyone involved in making the evening very special.

Booked for Celebration

"What a professional service from start to finish., to celebrate a significant birthday. I was helped through the choice of courses to ensure that all our guests would enjoy the tasting menu, even to the extent that at the last minute one guest developed a problem with milk and medication and this was accommodated for. Umberto arrived on time and just got on with the job. Nothing appeared to phase him, coming into a rental holiday cottage with limited facilities. The food was absolutely amazing. The presentation, considering the limited crockery selection, was beautiful. We have eaten taster menus in several high class restaurants, and all agreed this was one of the best. The portion sizes being spot on, as we were able to enjoy every single dish without feeling full, but completely satisfied. Overall it was a fantastic experience, and Umberto left 6 very satisfied guests and a spotless kitchen. Many thanks."

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.

Your Culinary Wish Is My Command

🎉 New to Poptop

My menus are special because they are tailored to your exact preferences! Fine dining should be evocative and not restricted to just one cuisine - unless, of course, that's your preference - but a "cornucopia" of your favourites all together in one evening, be it a French canapé and a Japanese main! Your choices are made by me; collaboration is key to success.
