Chef David's reviews
Couldn't recommend Chef David high enough. I booked Chef David as a surprise Valentine's Day dinner for my partner and we were blown away. Will be using Chef David again. - Craig

David and his team gave us a truly special dinner experience at our company's Founders dinner to mark its 20th anniversary, an important event for us. The food was incredible, the service and quality of engagement by David and his team with everyone at dinner made everyone feel at home and valued. David is a lovely guy and a terrific chef. He understood what this dinner meant to us. I would have no hesitation in recommending David fully! Thanks David!

We had the most fabulous experience - from the inital enquiry, all the way through to the end of service. This was a special event for my family and David exceeded our expectations - from communication, to the menu selection, the food and the service. David's waiter was also excellent. Would book David again, and have told all our family and friends that private chefs are the way to host a dinner party. Thank you, David.

Chef David, waitress Liz, and Thiago the dishwasher were well presented, friendly, and made our wedding lunch a fantastic experience. I am grateful for their help because it made my day easy and very enjoyable. My guests loved the food, Chef David cooked Paella live on a gas burner and the children really enjoyed watching and learning as he put it all together. The food was well matched to the outdoor setting and David was able to navigate the older styled kitchen easily to prepare the feast. I am impressed by David and we will certainly recommend him, and hire him again. Five stars for David.
