The Chef Touch

"Silvestre was amazing! So friendly and chilled which made the experience even better. The food was incredible, couldn’t fault it at all. I would 100% recommend him and will definitely be using his services again.
Thanks Silvestre and Lorraina, you guys were awesome :)"

"The party was a triumph! Chef Silvestre was so easy to work with - very calm, flexible, sociable and easy-going. He tailored the menu to the group's tastes and accommodated one diner's specific requests. The salmon first course in particular was exquisite. All other dishes were delicious and plentiful although we should mention that the steak in the main course was tough and gristly.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Silvestre and look forward to finding another opportunity to welcome him back to Forest Row to cook for us."

Silvestre was very professional and the food produced was very tasty. We had an enjoyable evening and would recommend The Chef Touch for your dinner party/event.

I had never before used a private chef or known anyone that had, I had the idea for my 30th birthday party as I have a newborn baby so it meant I didn't need to leave the house, and what an idea it was! Chef Silvestre made the experience, the food was divine and all the guests were impressed and left extremely full!! He really did make the evening, the cost was extremely reasonable for what we had and the quality of food was perfect. We enjoyed so much so we have already booked Chef in for next year!

"The service received from Chef Silvestre for our Christmas dinner was 5* - absolutely excellent in every way. From our first contact, through to the discussions about the menu and our requirements was fantastic. On the night, he arrived with two waiting staff, who were equally as professional and excellent. The food was out of this world and every single one of our diners [there were 23 of us] absolutely loved their dinner.
They were professional, friendly and after the meal left our kitchen spotless.
We would highly recommend Chef Silvestre for future events."

Silvestre was fantastic right from first contact with menu ideas through to the final surprise anniversary lunch for my wife (and children). The food was top class and he was charming and fun throughout the day - the kids had a ball. As others have said, he is a consummate professional, even letting himself into my house while I pretended to the family we were going out for lunch then returning with them to a table of delicious canapes with first course already under way. Can't recommend him highly enough and will definitely be using again. Thank you, again, Silvestre.

We had a brilliant time! Silvestre was prompt, kind and an excellent cook! We had a great meal celebrating my sister’s hen do. There were 16 of us and everyone was catered for perfectly inc vegetarians. Thanks again, highly recommended.

Highly professional. Excellent 5* service right from booking and liaising about our event upto the dinner itself. Lovely food - our large party was very happy and thought the food was delicious. Highly recommended!!!

"Our chef and his lovely server made our hen party really special.
The food was amazing quality even though they only had a small kitchen to work with.
Everything was freshly cooked in front of us and the flavours where incredible. All of the girls where really impressed.
I would recommend chef silvestre for any event and hope I get to taste his food again in the future.
Thank you!!"

"Chef Silvestre was wonderful! He was very easy to work with, prompt in his responses, and very prompt. Dinner was incredible, the guests were very happy with their food, and he even took a bunch of pictures! I would absolutely use him again, he was an absolute joy to work with.

Thank you, Chef!"

"Having never hired a private chef before I was slightly nervous but I found myself in excellent hands from the start. Booking was easy and Chef Silvestre was very quick at replying to my questions and very flexible over the menu.

He arrived on time, was friendly and polite and cooked an excellent meal for us. He timed the meal around us and we didn't feel rushed at all. He left my kitchen cleaner that it was before he arrived !.

Thank you Chef Silvestre for making my big birthday extra special, we will definitely be using you again and recommending you to our friends."

Chef Silvestre cooked an amazing three course dinner and canapés for my friend’s hen party - he was really helpful and adaptable with the menu, great fun and everyone was really impressed with the food. Would definitely recommend him - thank you!

Absolutely fantastic evening

"We hired Chef Silvestre for my Girlfriends 30th Birthday Party and we couldn't have asked for a better service. The food was absolutely delicious and both Silvestre and his assistant added to our party with their great attitudes and fantastic personalities. I would definitely recommend The Chef Touch to my friends and family and also to Goodnestone Park which is where we had our party.
Thanks again Silvestre - Ben, Sara and the Gang!"

"Chef was very helpful with preparing the menu and provided great recommendations on how to cook / what ingredients to include while being friendly and accommodating to my needs.
I was very impressed with his quality of cooking as every dish was made to perfection and tasted just as good.
Highly recommend for you to try Chef Touch out for your next party or dinner."

Chef Silvestre cooked for a party of 9 on my 50th birthday. It was a real success - we agreed the menu in advance and Silvestre delivered it perfectly. He is a friendly nice guy and worked so hard, including clearing everything away and doing the washing up. Fantastic - everyone loved the food and I thought it was great value too. Much more fun than a restaurant, so glad I did this. Thank you!

We booked Chef Silvester (and his assistant Lorraine) for my husbands 60th Birthday. What a wonderful evening we had, the food was amazing all prepared at the house, and served to us and left the kitchen spotless. I can definitely recommend Silvester and look forward to using him again in the future

Such a talented chef! Superb food and brilliant company too! Already looking forward to the next time! I cannot recommend enough! A night to remember!"

"Everything was well executed and planned. Chef Silvestre made excellent food and the clean up after was much appreciated. Wish I could put more than 5 stars as I highly recommend his services and the food was delicious. It is also great because he gives you options to choose from and allows you to discuss exactly what you want to have for the evening. It was absolutely stress free hosting my murder mystery farewell party. Thank you!

thanks

Thank you very much,"

Booked chef silvestre for our anniversary meal.
He was very helpful with choosing the right menu and drinks for it.
It was 10 of us in total and every single dish was out of this world.
He got all the fresh ingredients and cooked them to perfection.
He also got a waiter to serve us
( this was an extra fee ) and he was very professional and knowledgeable.
Over all he is a very polite and professional chef and person.
Was a fantastic night we had and will recommend to everyone.
Thank you chef silvestre."

"""Great Meal!
Thought it would be nice to try something very different so after I came across The Chef Touch I decided to book.
The meal is cooked in your home, which is a great concept!
The food is exceptional and it made my life so much easier as the Chef gets the ingredients himself.
Very happy guests!
This is a very good option when you want a party in the comfort of your home without missing the great fun moments !
Thank you very much and looking forward to working with you again!"""

"We book chef Silvestre, for a wedding anniversary meal at our place, the food was excellent and the experience really unique, way better than going to a restaurant.
we recommend the chef touch and certainly will book again 5*"

"Rich W
We booked Silvestre for Christmas lunch. A truly fantastic experience! He arrived early and prepared everything from scratch with fresh wholesome ingredients. Served up 5 delicious courses including canapés. Worth every penny, will definitely recommend him to anyone and we’ll be booking him again soon.
Thanks Silvestre!"

Silvestre was highly efficient and responded positively with a menu to meet our needs. He arrived promptly and left the kitchen clean and tidy having washed up both his own equipment and any utensils etc. of ours that he had used. The food was delicious and plentiful. We received many quotes through Poptop and judged that he provided a varied menu at a realistic cost. We would have no hesitation in recommending Silvestre's services and using him again. He is a very convivial person with a charming personality and when serving interacted with our guests in a cordial yet respectful way.
