I am a qualified Private Chef with over 26 years of catering experience. I have my own business specialising in sit down dinners from 3 course dinners, to 6 and 8 course taster menus.
I also do BBQ parties, buffets and canape parties.
I can’t rate Mike highly enough. Circumstances with COVID make things difficult but Mike ensures everything is compliant and that all guests feel comfortable. All guests not only felt comfortable but Mike wow’ed them with outstanding food and service. Incredible. You won’t regret booking!
Michael is a very talented chef who created the most wonderful culinary delights for our event.
He was easy to work with, very accommodating and worked collaboratively to make sure everyone was catered for. He was friendly , efficient and worked with us in advance to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious and he made our event very special. I would highly recommend him.
Lovely meal. Mike listened carefully to our needs and created a perfect menu for all the family. Delicious food, beautifully presented with generous portions.
"I booked Chef Michael for a family lunch in the comfort of our own home. Chef was very organised. We spoke beforehand about special diets and the set up, and he arrived promptly on the day well prepared.
The meal was delicious with everybody going home full and talking about the tasty chicken sauce and light berry mousses. I opted for a server, Michael, who was a delight and added wonderfully to the whole experience.
Chef Michael offered a great experience and even provided child friendly versions of some dishes so the babies could join in (thank you).
Highly recommend."
Amazing chef!!! The food was amazing from first course to last course. Cleaned up well and was very sociable. Thank you so much for your great work! I would definitely use again !
"Dear Mike,
Thank you for creating a beautiful and memorable meal for all of us. Everyone, including myself,
thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the food was tremendous!
You are a talented and gifted chef; it was a blessing to have you in our home.
Thank you again and I look forward to next time...."
"What a night!! we had the best night ever with Mike and his waiter Michael. The food was amazing, all cooked at our home, presented and served beautifully with much care and attention to the smallest of detail. on top of that the evening was great fun as Mike introduced each course. in the kitchen he was fun to talk to and has a great sense of humour and the banter between him and the waiter Michael was priceless.
A great evening that I can't wait to repeat."
"Mouth-watering!
Delicious, well-presented food; friendly, fun and interesting intros to each course; and our kitchen was spotless at the end of the evening. We've already booked again for another dinner!"
"A perfect meal
Mike is an excellent chef, and we had a lovely meal, with each course cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend!"
"Amazing 6 course taster meal
We received excellent service from start to finish from Micheal and also his head waiter. They arrived on time and with little fuss produced an outstanding 6 course taster meal for 10 of our family.
The head waiter was amazing, making sure our table was laid perfectly and filling our glasses up all evening. Everything was washed and cleaned up at the end of the meal leaving us to relax and enjoy the evening. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company. Absoloutely amazing. Deserves 5 stars !!"
