Booked for Hen party

This was one of the best private chef experiences I’ve ever had. The foods presentation was incredible aswell as it tasting amazing. Everybody was blown away by the experience and we were even given menus to put on every placemat which was a cute little touch to make everything seem that much more elevated. All allergies were attended to and the whole experience was seamless . Could not recommend enough!

Booked for Hen party

We booked Kevin for my sisters hen party and can’t fault the experience. Kevin was happy to cater to dietary requirements (vegan and dairy free guests) and the quality of the food was excellent, service was great and everyone enjoyed the beautiful meal prepared!

Kirsty Nichols17 May 2022

Booked for Hen party

Chefs were friendly and catered for dietary requirements. Everyone said they enjoyed the food. However they were around 30minutes late as they said they couldn’t find the property and the sticky toffee pudding and custard was shop bought which I found disappointing. Also the website states the need for a deep fat fryer so I went out and bought one but infact it wasn’t needed!

Booked for Birthday party

Googled a private chef due to recommendations being extortionately priced. We went to the south coast for a family holiday and surprised my brother-in-law for his 40th birthday. It was a great surprise for him. The food was absolutely fantastic. Chef Paul cooked us a theee course meal, he even catered for our children, which they loved! He was very very nice, friendly and a fantastic chef. I would absolutely recommend him and use him again if I ever needed. He left the kitchen spotless too! Perfect. My brother-in-law said it was the best surprise. When you get to 40 it’s memories that make a birthday special and this certainly did! Thank you. I found poptop website great and easy to use.

Booked for Birthday party

I read a few reviews when looking to book a private chef for my wife's 40th Birthday, and have to say that Andy and Caroline already came highly recommended by previous customers. I can honestly say that it is not hard to understand why. From the very first phone call Andy was extremely personable and enthusiastic about putting on the perfect meal for my event. He took into account all of the likes and dislikes of my party to pull together a mouthwatering initial menu from which I could narrow down the selection for the dinner. Caroline provided expert wine guidance which really helped pull together the evening. When they arrived at the venue Caroline decorated the table beautifully whilst Andy set up camp in a kitchen which was not familiar to him with no fuss. The food was outstanding, obviously I take all the credit for the choices I made, but in all seriousness the canapes were amazing and set the tone perfectly, the starters that followed were absolutely divine and the homemade foccacia was a joy to behold. The main course continued the culinary excellence and the desserts perfectly rounded off the meal. Or so I thought....then they brought through coffee and petit-fours. The food was not only delicious but also very generous in its portions, and this is coming from a family of over-indulgent eaters! I can't recommend Andy and Caroline high enough and hope I get the opportunity to use them again soon!
