Booked for Stag Party

Private Chef Review – Chef Ed | 10/10 Experience We recently hired Chef Ed for a private dining experience, and it exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, the evening was flawless. Each course was beautifully presented and full of flavor. We began with perfectly seared scallops on butternut purée, pancetta, and pea shoots — a refined and delicious start. The main course was a standout: homemade Beef Wellington with Aberdeen Angus fillet, wild mushroom duxelle, truffle oil, and Palma ham in golden puff pastry. Served with port jus, seasonal veg, and creamy celeriac mash, every bite was exceptional. A refreshing trio of homemade sorbets (lemon, raspberry, and mango) served as a palate cleanser, followed by a sophisticated dessert of macarons and chocolate crisps — a perfect finale. Chef Ed also recommended excellent wine pairings for each course, enhancing the experience. Beyond his culinary skill, he was warm, professional, and left the kitchen spotless. This was an extraordinary meal, restaurant-quality in the comfort of home. Highly recommended. 10/10!

Booked for Christmas party

Edward and Nick were very prompt, apologising for the few minutes delay due to a road accident; they had already advised me about the delay whilst en route. They laid the table out very attractively with Christmas decor. the canapes were excellent and beautifully presented. The whole 5 course meal was very nice indeed and the service was excellent. The attention Nick paid to the two little ones was really appreciated by all of us. Ed's cuisine was lovely. We all had a wonderful family christmas lunch. Thank you Ed and Nick !

Booked for Anniversary

What an amazing experience and one that we will definitely do again. Chef Guido was brilliant. He arrived exactly on time and cooked up an amazing four course menu. We had a fancy dress murder mystery party that evening and Chef Guido delivered all of the sumptuous course exactly at the right timings to fit in with each stage of the evening. It was truly special and thanks to Chef Guido it was a complete success. Trust me, book him now as he will be in demand. We will definitely book again. One great thing is when we got back into the kitchen after we finished the evening it was spotless. Highly recommended on service, food quality and value for money.

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
