Booked for Birthday party

Greg arrived and carried on his set up quickly and efficiently whilst we were all enjoying a glass of bubbly. When everything was ready we sat at the table and course after course (5 in total) were presented to us. The food was wonderful and beautifully presented, we had one vegetarian who had slight variations on each course but without any fuss or making him feel uncomfortable. I have a severe nut allergy so after Greg's reasurance i was able to enjoy my meal worry free. After the final course he quickly cleared and removed everything back to his van and was gone allowing us to continue our evening celebrations after a lovely meal and a spotless kitchen. I would recommend him and would definitely use him again if the occasion allowed.

Booked for Celebration

Romuald was great! He was really friendly and accommodating of our requests (nut free menu). He called me before to understand what the celebration was for and explain what would happen on the day. The food was great and beautifully presented! We would definitely recommend. The Poptop website was easy to use and I’d definitely use it again.

Booked for Birthday party

Am thrilled with the service given. Excellent communication beforehand and Cinzia worked hard to make sure I was happy with the menu. On the day she gave excellent service and cooked a wonderful meal. We didn't have to do anything - everything was cleaned up perfectly. It was a lovely special birthday treat and I highly recommend Milano Catering.

Booked for Birthday party

I had never heard of Food Champs and so was a little apprehensive. It was a surprise birthday dinner for my husband with just the two of us present due to Covid. The choice on the menu was excellent. Csaba arrived exactly on time and wore a face mask throughout. He proceeded to give us a wonderful evening. The appetisers were superb, followed by a truly excellent three course meal. Quality of ingredients, fabulous preparation, and great presentation. Following his departure it was impossible to see that Csaba had been cooking in our kitchen as he had left it so immaculate. We would definitely recommend them.

Booked for Other Event

Nicholas was fantastic and I couldn't recommend him more! I bought my father a cooking lesson with him for his birthday and Nicholas made him feel so comfortable. He came prepared with great courses that had been discussed beforehand, put much time and thought into the preparation and bought produce from his own garden. My father had the most brilliant afternoon and now feels excited about cooking. We will definitely hire Nicholas again for upcoming events, but I highly recommend thinking about a cooking class also with him. Thanks Nicholas!

Booked for Birthday party

"I have no problem in recommending Chef at Home. James turned up and quietly and efficiently prepared the most delicious meal served to our table. When he left the kitchen was spotless and no trace of a meal having been prepared I would certainly use his services again"

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.

Private Chef Menus spotlight 🌟

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.
