Booked for Christmas party

Marius cooked an exceptional Christmas dinner for us. From the moment we booked he gave us fantastic service and was extremely responsive and helpful with the planning. On the day, he arrived and took care of everything down to the smallest detail. He was professional and friendly and obviously cares very passionately about giving guests the best possible experience. The food was excellent- the best Christmas dinner we have ever had. He left the kitchen spotless - even cleaner than when he arrived! He even left us a delicious chocolate cake as a surprise which everyone loved. I can’t recommend him enough - what a fabulous chef - we will certainly book again!

Fantastic service, great food, a really good selection to choose from, arrived on time and worked around our rather hilarious murder mystery. I would highly recommend.

Booked for Christmas party

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.
