Chef at Home by James Howe

Nigel Reid, April 21, 2018

"Chef at home provided an excellent service for our family celebration. The food was produced professionally and at the time requested. James did particularly well providing a special meal for one guest who was vegetarian, glueten and dairy free. Carla his assistant did an fantastic job helping us relax and unwind, as well as providing service to the table. We highly recommend James as a home chef who provides high quality food and excellent service."

"Benito was fantastic! He was incredibly efficient, the food was delicious and he left the kitchen cleaner than it's ever been! Amazing. My only quibble is that I told James it was a surprise and Benito needed to arrive at 6pm as a result and this didn't seem to have been communicated. Benito arrived at 5pm and very nearly ruined the surprise but luckily I caught him before my fiance saw. This was completely not his fault but a fault of communication and would have really annoyed me if it had ruined the surprise. Benito however was amazing."

"Dear James I just wanted to say a big thank you for the meal you prepared for us on Saturday night. The food was absolutely amazing and from me saying that I would like a Spanish themed meal, you prepared a superb menu selection and the food you served was even better. Everything about the night was straightforward, from run up to it to you leaving us with a kitchen that was left immaculate. The service on the night was faultless and i would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone and I already have done so. To have such an amazing personal service brought to your own home, for the same cost as a meal out at a good restaurant is a recommendation that is easy for me to make. We will definitely ask you to cook for us again and are already looking forward to it. Kind Regards Louise Rolfe"

"James arrived very promptly and was good company while we were settling ourselves in to the cabin we had rented for the weekend. The kitchen was not very big at all, but James coped very well and was not fazed buy it in the slightest. He catered to a specific menu I requested for our party of 6 and delivered it perfectly. All 3 courses along with the canapes were very tasty and well cooked. I could not fault any of the food, and James left the kitchen cleaner than it was when we initially arrived at the cabin. Would highly recommend, great chef and great food!"

"The food was only average, I wouldn't be happy to recommend to future guests at the property. We have used White Rose caterers at the property for over 6 years and they have produced and served amazing food, I was expecting something Similar, the price was around the same. The Chef left his receipts and paperwork at the property, everything was purchased from a cheap cash and carry, I Would have at least expected that the steaks were from a butchers, The steaks were all cooked the same no one got asked if they wanted medium, rare or well done ? I felt disappointed as my guests were being polite as it was my birthday and I had organised it."

"Sorry but my experience was not a good one. Chefs arrived late due to traffic issues. I run my own business and always assume things will go wrong on any journey so leave additional time in my schedule to ensure I arrive early. If I arrive late, I always offer a refund. None was offered to me. I wanted an experienced bbq chef and made that clear. It was clear, at one point in the day, that the chefs I had were not as experienced as was made out. It was only due to a Club colleague of mine being on site that we did not end up with a situation where none of the bbq drums were hot enough to cook on! On a positive note, the food was well cooked and nobody was left waiting for their order to be ready. If you are looking to run a bbq, I would not recommend using this team. However, that is just based on this event. I have no experience on what else they offer so cannot comment on that."
