Excellent chef and absolutely delicious menu. We would highly recommend César!

Valentina was really great - delicious dishes that we chose from her extensive repertoire, plus some interesting wine recommendations to accompany the food. Would use again if we’re lucky enough to be in Puglia!

We had Caleb come and cook for us for a small girls birthday dinner. He was incredible! He was lovely to talk with , the food was amazing, we didn’t have to lift a finger and we had so much fun chatting with him and just enjoying the night. Would highly recommend Caleb to anyone and hope to have him cook for us again one day!

Caroline var meget smilende og imødekommende. Maden var rigtig god og flot anrettet. Jeg kan klart anbefale Caroline ????

Chef Filipe was absolutely incredible! Our custom dinner was the #1 highlight of our honeymoon/ wedding Anniversary trip to Portugal! He provided us a complete taste of Portuguese cuisine! There was so much food and variety throughout the whole meal! We had left overs for the next day! It was the best experience! Thank you Chef Filipe!

Bryan and his colleague were great. Very easy to communicate with and great in adapting the menu due to allergies. This way, everyone was able to eat the same dishes. We had a great time and would definitely hire him again in the future.

We genuinely cannot thank Chefs Franco and Mia enough for making the first night of the hen do so special. From start to finish, everything was absolutely incredible. The food was out of this world. Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted even better than it looked. As the bride absolutely loves Italian food, Franco and Mia went above and beyond to create a menu that was perfect for us, and it was a huge hit for all of us! (we was so full we even saved some pizza for later on in the night, and it still tasted incredible!!!) What really made the experience so memorable was their kindness and personal touch. Nothing was too much trouble, and they made us feel so looked after. They even created personalised cocktail especially for us, which was such a thoughtful and fun addition!! Not only are they exceptionally talented chefs, but they are also genuinely lovely people who clearly care about making everything perfect!! If you're considering booking Franco and Mia, do it! We can honestly say it was one of the best decisions we made for the hen do. The food, presentation, service, attention to detail, and warmth were all absolutely outstanding. Simply incredible in every way. Thank you both for everything! ❤️????????✨

We had an incredible experience with Chef Mateus and his team! Our entire group was very impressed with the service and the quality of the food. When planning the menu, Chef Mateus was very attentive to our dietary requirements and accommodating for having a few different dishes within the group which was extremely appreciated and all the food tasted amazing. The table was set up beautifully for us and the presentation of all dishes was also wonderful, including the story behind all of them. The kitchen was left impeccable at the end. Huge thank you to Chef and his whole team! Can't recommend Chef Mateus highly enough and will definitely be booking again :)

Excelente todo! Gracias Miguel por hacernos pasar una cena inolvidable!

Stephanie was incredible as our chef for a group 40th birthday trip! She provided us with all that we asked for, with a delicious meal featuring local ingredients and flavours, and was able to accommodate various allergies. She was punctual and professional, and the kitchen was cleaner when she left than it had been our entire trip. Highly recommend Stephanie as your chef!

Chef Manny was amazing. The food and presentation were out of this world
