Paul was a great chef for the night! He was responsive and kind. He answered questions thoughtfully and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend.

Chef Thiago was one of the most dedicated and awesome chefs I've had the chance to hire. He is extremely fun and very easy going. The food was delicious, well prepared and presented beautifully. I would highly recommend Chef Thiago to anyone that has a special event or a night in for a fantastic private chef experience!

Amalya and her partner were amazing. Had the Thai dinner menu it was a great experience trying something new. However her Italian lunch menu was phenomenal! There were no leftover after that. Her bruschetta i could eat for every meal everyday it was awesome. Highly highly recommend her !

We booked Mehmet for a private dinner and from the very first conversation, everything felt easy and reassuring. Communication was clear, friendly, and professional, and he really listened to what we wanted instead of pushing a fixed menu. We discussed preferences, timing, and the general flow of the evening in advance, and it was obvious that he put real thought into the planning. On the day of the dinner, Mehmet arrived on time, calm and well prepared. The kitchen stayed organized throughout the evening, and the atmosphere never felt rushed or chaotic. The timing between courses was excellent — we could enjoy each dish properly without long waits or pressure to move on too quickly. The food itself was delicious and very well balanced. The ingredients tasted fresh, the seasoning was spot on, and everything felt light but still satisfying. Portions were generous, and what we especially appreciated was that Mehmet had brought extra food, which showed great care and generosity. Nothing felt calculated or minimal it felt like he genuinely wanted us to enjoy the evening fully. The service was discreet and professional, without being stiff. Mehmet was present when needed but never intrusive. At the end of the dinner, the kitchen was left clean and tidy, which made the whole experience even more pleasant and stress-free. Overall, this was a very smooth, well-organized, and enjoyable private chef experience. We were extremely happy with both the food and the way the evening was handled and would gladly book Mehmet again for another special occasion. Highly recommended.

J'ai fait appel à ce chef pour fêter les 10 ans de vie commune avec ma femme. Excellente expérience que ce soit le professionnalisme, le goût des plats ou encore l'aimabilité du chef. L'expérience a été excellente je recommande.

Catalina did an amazing job in catering for my 30th birthday. Her food was super taste full and very nice presented. Defo my recommendation for the south of Spain!!

Pasquale was AMAZING! He truly went above and beyond for my dinner. Thank you!

Chef Kerroy was excellent from beginning to end. Consistently going the extra mile and very professional throughout the whole experience. He adjusted the menu a couple times to accommodate our needs and brought all of his own equipment. Would highly recommend.

Chef David was great to work with from the very start! Sent multiple menu options and allowed for choices on each course. We had a large group (12) and he managed to serve all of us cook to order filet duos seamlessly. He was friendly and the whole experience was stress free for us as hosts. The guests had an amazing time, and he left the kitchen spotless at the end. Highly recommend!

Paul was brilliant. He put a great selection of menu choices together and the food was incredible. It definitely had the wow factor and it was perfect for a big family birthday celebration. A real treat and everyone absolutely loved it.

Micheal was absolutely amazing, the food served was incredible. Even the fussy eaters of the group ate all of the food, which is saying something! It looked as good as it tasted. Thankyou so much!

Super expérience, je recommande la cuisine du chef Gercky les yeux fermés !

Chef G was amazing , he responded quickly to my request & offered exactly what I had requested. Very polite& professional . A wonderful family meal shared without any stress

Chef Rodolfo was truly incredible, talented and curated a wonderfully intimate dinner. I hope to reserve with him again in the future!

Chef Giordan was amazing! The food was delicious! There were plenty of options to choose from! He left the leftovers for us. He cleaned everything. The presentation was beautiful! I’d highly recommend him! Thank you!

Rossana was AWESOME! She was kind and nice. The meal itself was staged out well, bringing us the next course when we were ready. It was paced well. She was incredible cleaning up and putting everything away. We loved interacting with her and everything about the experience. Thank you Rossana! We would love to book her again if we are in the area again. HIGHLY recommend her.

Wir waren unglaublich zufrieden mit Chef Lerato. Das Essen war sehr sehr gut und Chef Lerato sehr sympathisch. Sie hat trotz der offenen Küche in unserem Haus sehr diskret alles zubereitet und die Küche sehr sauber hinterlassen. Wir würden sie immer wieder buchen.

Carolina was fantastic! She traveled to four different grocery stores as our meal overlapped with an approaching winter storm and many stores were sold out. The meal she prepared was AMAZING. Her shrimp appetizer was truly one of the best things I have ever eaten, so bright and fresh. She described each meal and even went as far as to prepare a chocolate cake and mousse for one of our guests who was celebrating a birthday. She was a total joy and we definitely would hire her again!

Really great service !

What an incredible Evening we had Celebrating Our Friend's 60th Birthday o her Weekend Away. Booking A Private Chef Made The Night Special. We would All Highly Recommend David & Keeley and Would Definitely Book Them again in The Future,The Food was Absolutely Amazing ????????
