• Oct. 23, 2021Incredible evening. Ian was fantastic. Great communication before the event, very friendly, knowledgable and no hassle. Food was outstanding starting with delicious venison canapes and going from there. I couldn’t fault anything, having someone cooking for you in your kitchen could feel a bit strange, not at all, Ian made it exactly the evening I hoped. Just a brilliant service. Will definitely be doing this again. Next time will have better control of a friends mental dog who had his nose in Ians food all evening. Even that didn’t flap him in anyway. Fantastic meal.

• Aug. 27, 2019An amazing night by Chef Cathcart.
Very friendly and professional. Amazing food. He suggested some local produce which we went with and he gave an amazing three course meal for 8. Accommodated some dietary requirements on the night with pleasure and ease. Left the kitchen spotless!!
Would highly recommend his services.

• Dec. 22, 2018"We had a wonderful Asian themed meal on a Saturday. Ian was lovely, so easy to deal with and cooked up a treat which was loved by all. Impossible to pick out a favourite part of the meal as it was all so good from canapés through to the beautiful yuzu pudding.
Having Ian there meant all stresses of the evening were removed for us and we actually got to enjoy the full evening without ducking in and out of the kitchen all the time."

• Dec. 9, 2018Chef arrived early to prepare for the lunch for 10 that we had organised. Canapés were served first and they were wonderful a great indication of the food to come. We had gone through a menu with Chef Cathcart and agreed a three course lunch with amuse bouche to start ofCornish crab and mango cannelloni. Our starter next of duck rillettes and redcurrant compote followed by the main course Guinea fowl with Tarragon mousse stuffing, cocotte pot, heritage kale with chestnuts and glazed carrots . Dessert was the chefs suggestion of Tia Maria Chocolate Fondant. Every course was served hot and was delicious . We can thoroughly recommend Chef Cathcart he was totally professional and a joy to have in our home. We will certainly be using this very talented young chef again.
