Having worked in the wedding catering industry for 4 years and providing fine dining in and around restaurants and bistros around the south of England, i have decided to bring the fine dinning experience into your own home. Taken out the the worry and stress of catering for your own special event or occasion. With all the ingredients, crockery glassware, cutlery and cookware provided so all you have to do is relax with your guests
Ed was great. He was really responsive throughout the booking, helping me plan details of the event. He arrived on time and food was delicious. I would definitely use him again.
Ed was really friendly and professional, food was amazing, highly recommended.
Ed was a delight to have at our event. He balanced being part of the dinner party and knowing when to step away.
The scallops and beef Wellington were incredible. Best Beef Wellington we have had. Everything was very easy and relaxed and ran perfectly to time.
A personal thing but the more mature members of our party did feel that dessert should have been served with small plates for each diner.
Ed stepped in at the very last minute after I was let down. Ed, given he had only 48hrs notice came up with a menu that suited me and my guests, then supplied the most beautiful meal. From start to finish Ed looked after me and my guests. And even washed up. The whole experience was five star and I will definitely be having Ed back. Again fantastic is all I can say.
From start to finish Ed was responsive and helpful. We had a super evening celebrating our younger daughters’s 30th Birthday. Ed catered for a recently diagnosed coeliac too at quite short notice. The food was just amazing and Ed was friendly and informative about the food he was serving us. Highly recommend Ed - thank you!
Excellent evening with Ed, he is a brilliant chef and a nice chap to talk to .
This was a totally new experience of a chef coming to the house to cook for us so I didn’t know what to expect.
Edward was very helpful and accommodating each time we spoke before Christmas Day.
On the day he was very punctual, he was very friendly and chatty. He familiarised himself with our kitchen and got straight to work.
The food was served on time, it was delicious and everyone loved it.
Edward cleaned up and put the dishwasher on and left the kitchen how he found it.
Would definitely use him again and definitely recommend him.
Great day with Ed and his team, food was excellent, service friendly and efficient. Overall a great team and a great lunch. Thanks Ed
Great and professional experience. Food was great!!
Ed created the most wonderful feast for my dad’s 70th Birthday dinner party. He made everything so easy, from menu selection through to serving up his delicious food then leaving the kitchen spotless. Ed is not only a great chef but a super nice chap. I would definitely recommend him and will use him again myself for future events.
I can’t recommend Edward highly enough! He catered for my fathers 80th birthday, 20 guests with varying tastes & dietary requirements. Edward was very prompt in his responses to my texts & emails and what’s so obliging. He (and his 2 waiting staff) were extremely friendly & professional from start to finish and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.
Ed created the most amazing menu that went down an absolute treat with my family. He was very accommodating and created an atmostphere that made everyone relax, even when being quizzed by some curious children! Thank you so much for a wonderful meal. We will definitely book you again and recommend you to family and friends.
We booked Ed for my 40th birthday dinner and he was 5-stars all the way. Very responsive in the build up, arrived early and was professional throughout. The food was fantastic and he catered for a vegetarian and gluten-free guest perfectly. Would highly recommend!

Excellent experience. Ed was friendly, approachable and kept in good contact in the run up to the dinner and also on the day.
Food was great and the cheesecake was amazing.
Would definitely recommend.
Great service!
From the first contact with Ed to the dining experience was a complete pleasure. Ed was happy and able to make slight changes to the menu which ensured that we would have a memorable evening. I would very happily recommend Ed to anyone who would want that special occasion.
Ed was fantastic, it was such a calm and relaxing atmosphere and the food was amazing! If you are looking for a special dining experience I would highly recommend. Ed was lovely to chat to, and really looked after us. Will definitely be booking again.
Ed was wonderful from the start, reaching out to make sure everything was fine, and agreeing without any issue to do the main dish as well as a pescatarian option.
He was very pleasant to have around, and remained very professional while being approachable and friendly.
The food was, I must say, better than I expected - really delicious in fact and everybody loved it; and served in very generous portions.
The fact I literally didn't have to do anything at all was absolutely fantastic - Ed, after asking permission to open my cupboards, laid the table, prepared the food, introduced and served each dish, took the plates away and put them in the dishwasher and left the kitchen clean and tidy.
Overall, a fantastic service by a very nice chef, great food and the gift of a relaxing evening spent with my family instead of in the kitchen.
Great service!
We had a really great experience with 'Fed by Ed'. Restaurant quality food and service with the relaxed atmosphere of your own home. Ed was very kind, courteous and fit in around us. He catered to different dietary requirements. The food was perfect and so delicious and he even cleaned everything up leaving the kitchen looking beautiful.
Extremely fast and helpful communication from Ed throughout and the food was fantastic.
Would highly recommend!
Ed was great we had the best night with amazing food and a great atmosphere. Would recommend Ed for sure! Hope to use him again soon.
Excellent service!
We loved our ‘Fed by Ed’ experience. The food was delicious and nicely presented. Ed was attentive and chatty but also discreet and tucked himself away when we were enjoying our courses. He was flexible and accepted a change to the menu a couple of days before. I would highly recommend this service to friends and family. Thank you!
Ed was lovely from the initial contact right through to the end. He kept in touch and asked if we needed anything. He changed the menu countless times and made sure each course was perfect for each person. After receiving some great news 3 days prior to our experience Ed changed the menu for on of the guests and it enabled them to be able to enjoy their experience also. Couldn’t recommend him more! Thank you!
Ed was fantastic. Friendly, helpful and his food was excellent. No request was too much for him and he adjusted the menu to suit our favourite foods, whilst making a separate dish for one guest who didn’t like fish.
Would highly recommend and several of our guests are also interested in booking Ed for their own events.
We had a fantastic evening. Would highly recommend Edward. The food was superb could not fault a thing and would definitely use him again. He was a perfect chef!
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.
Ed was completely lovely and professional. He made the event completely stress-free for me. The food was wonderful. The kitchen was left completely clean. He even agreed to act as our unofficial photographer and took some great shots of the party. Thanks so much Ed, will definitely be booking again!
Really good evening - generous amounts of food and friendly service. Thank you.
We had an absolutely fantastic time - Ed was super kind, professional and entertaining and produced a really delicious meal for our celebration - it was perfect from start to finish, we will be checking back with him for future parties for certain!
All round, Ed was excellent and very ably assisted by the late stand in waiter, Peter.
The food was superb. Everyone especially loved the Beef Wellington and the macarons.
Ed is very flexible, accommodating, very easy to deal with and passionate about getting things right for us and our guests.
Thank you Ed for a memorable evening.
Fed by Ed was an incredible, memorable evening. It was incredibly short notice when I reached out to Poptop and Ed came up trump's. A beautifully presented and prepared meal and we didn't have to lift a finger. Thank you Ed. Looking forward to the next one.
Ed was professional, friendly and very helpful at accommodating guests dietary requirements. We had a great evening and the food was second to none. This was booked as a surprise for my husbands birthday & Ed even sourced balloons to help with the surprise! Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic service from Ed, very flexible and accommodated the vegetarian in the group! Was friendly throughout the service and food was amazing, couldn’t have been any better. Thank you Ed for a fantastic evening!
We can’t praise Ed highly enough! We changed the number of guests from 4 to 6, added canapés & nothing was too much trouble. The kitchen at the cottage was not ideal & the cooker was a bit elderly but the food was not only beautifully presented but absolutely delicious! My husband said that the beef Wellington was the best he’d ever eaten! My son & daughter-in-law are already planning to book Ed again for their joint 40th birthday party & I’m sure we’ll find some excuse to bring him up to Lincolnshire.
Private dining is an absolute treat - not even any washing up afterwards & the ability to totally focus on our guests. I can thoroughly recommend Ed to anyone needing his services.
After three separate providers pulled out of my birthday weekend (one through Poptop, two privately) I rang Laurel at Poptop and begged her to help me, with only two weeks to go until my doomed dinner party which was looking like it was going to be Chef-less. Laurel immediately sprung in to action and found me Ed, who had only recently signed up to Poptop.
After we had agreed the menu and confirmed the booking, Ed was in touch regularly (to reassure me he was still there!) but also to confirm the finer details of the evening. When one of my party pulled out at the last minute, Ed was totally flexible to change the courses to accommodate in other ways so I didn't lose money.
On the night, Ed turned up promptly, brought me birthday sparkles and cooked us a delightful four course dinner (and an additional palette cleanser!). He also flexed on timings to allow for a live singer we had booked. He dressed in full chef's attire, did all of the cleaning up after the event and not only this, but he also got involved with our games and conversations and was fabulous company!
Honestly, could not be more happy with Ed, the service he provided, but also how much of an all-round gentleman and nice guy he is. Couldn't recommend him more. THANK YOU ED! Legend.
Ed from Fed by Ed was prompt, polite, professional and very friendly. Nothing was too much hassle and he even poured us drinks. Our kitchen was left spotless and there was no washing up to do. Really enjoyable experience
We were eight people who had the opportunity to cook beef Wellington together with Ed. It was very nice and successful. Ed is a fantastic chef and let us be part of the cooking according to our wishes. The whole event was successful and the food was very good. Ed is nice and took care of us and our kitchen in the best way. I can warmly recommend him./Tom
Ed was a great help and we had a great evening. Very responsive and reliable. Would definitely recommend.
