Booked for Birthday party

We hired Ed as a private chef to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. He prepared a delicious four-course meal — chicken goujons and Camembert with bread to start, followed by steak with mushroom and asparagus, and finished with an amazing chocolate torte. Everything went exactly to plan, the food was excellent, and each course was beautifully done. On top of that, Ed was a great guy — friendly, professional, and he really helped make the evening relaxed and enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate and would highly recommend him. Thank you ED!

Booked for Birthday party

We hired Chef Guilherme Leite for our event and couldn’t have been happier. The food was absolutely incredible, and both he and his colleague were brilliant throughout—polite, professional, and a pleasure to have in our home. They cooked a wonderful meal that everyone loved and left the kitchen spotless afterwards. Truly exceptional service. Highly recommend!

Booked for Birthday party

Romain was fantastic and very helpful in the lead up to the event. He was efficient, friendly and the food was incredible. It’s been just over a week since our event and we’re still talking about the beef he cooked us! The portions were huge too and there were empty plates all round. The kitchen was left so much cleaner than when he arrived, cannot recommend Romain enough!

Booked for Birthday party

Laur and his team were fantastic - they came and did precisely what they said they would do - fitting into our surroundings and v quickly making a great impression on everyone - they laid a splendid table, served guests impeccably, somehow put on a wonderful meal including birthday celebrations and were tidied up and gone without disturbing the party - couldn't recommend Laur and his team enough and would definitely use again

Terry provided immaculate service, the food was beautifully presented and tasted out of this world! Terry's warm personality and professionalism just added to the experiences. Can't wait to book you again in the near future.

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.
