We have had private chefs on hold before, but this was the first time in our home - for my wife's birthday. Darren did an outstanding job in all respects - exceeded expectations nations, as the saying goes! The food was excellent and Darren was friendly and engaging without interfering. We would happily recommend him, and indeed we look forward to using his services again!
