Chef Travis was great! We collaborated on the menu beforehand and he executed perfectly. The food was all delicious and he left the kitchen super clean. A really great experience!

AJ was Great? Food was delicious. Our group of 8 had a great time with AJ cooking for us.

Chef Dennis - Thank you for such an exceptional experience on Sunday. Your food was outstanding, and your professionalism and delivery made the entire evening effortless and memorable. Our guests are still talking about it and we truly appreciate it and hope to work with you again soon!.

Incredible food and service! Everything was scrumptious. The scallops were phenomenal. The Seabass just melt in your mouth. Strawberry tiramisu was an a fresh spring take on tiramisu.

We had an incredible experience with Chef Farid for a private dining event with three families. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism and care. The food quality was outstanding, every dish was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. The service was smooth and well organized, and Chef Farid made the entire evening feel relaxed and enjoyable. His hospitality really stood out, warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We highly recommend Chef Farid for anyone looking to host a private dining experience. It exceeded our expectations in every way.

Chef Morgan is truly unbelievably talented. From start to finish, the experience could not have been better. The quality of the food was absolutely amazing. Every dish was perfectly executed and full of flavor and the presentation was nothing short of incredible. It was clear that every detail was thoughtfully planned and delivered with passion and professionalism. Chef Morgan will be our absolute first choice for any future event, and we will highly recommend him to anyone in need of a chef for any type of occasion. An outstanding experience all around!

Chef Soluna was able to fit us in for a last-minute booking, and we are so grateful he did. We asked for the chef’s special, and he served us beautiful Anatolian comfort food. While the setting and presentation felt like fine dining, the food itself was warm, soulful, and made us feel right at home. The whole experience felt very special, and we would happily recommend Chef Soluna to our friends and family.

Contratamos a Erik para una cena muy especial en casa y la experiencia fue excelente. Desde el primer momento entendió perfectamente lo que buscábamos y supo adaptar la propuesta con mucho criterio, cuidando tanto el menú como el tono general de la velada. La comida estuvo a un nivel muy alto: un menú muy bien pensado, equilibrado y ejecutado, con producto de calidad, técnica y una presentación muy cuidada. Todo tuvo sentido y estuvo a la altura de la ocasión. Además, su trato fue impecable durante todo el servicio: profesional, discreto, cercano y nada invasivo. Trabajó con mucha naturalidad, hizo que todo resultara muy cómodo y dejó la cocina perfectamente recogida al terminar, algo que se agradece muchísimo en una experiencia en casa. También quiero destacar su predisposición y facilidad para ayudar en todo el proceso de organización. Fue muy colaborador, muy fácil de tratar y transmitió mucha confianza en todo momento. En nuestro caso, quedamos realmente satisfechos.

We recently hired a private chef company to cater a fine dining experience at our home for nine guests, and it was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. From the moment they arrived, everything was handled seamlessly. They took care of every detail from preparation to service and even the full clean-up afterwards which meant we could completely relax, enjoy the occasion, and spend quality time with our family without any stress. The food itself was exceptional. Each course was beautifully presented, full of flavour, and served right on time, creating a smooth and enjoyable dining experience throughout the evening. The team were professional, friendly, and incredibly efficient, striking the perfect balance between attentive service and allowing us to enjoy a private, intimate atmosphere. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them it truly felt like having a high-end restaurant experience in the comfort of our own home.

50th birthday celebration. Chose Take A Chef from internet search. A number of chefs responded and we chose the one that best matched our selection criteria. Menu was great, food of great quality and the result was a great evening. Would recommend both the service and the chef in question. Great experience

Elena was great. She worked with me for many months planning for my event. She took the time to listen, explain, and provide education that was extremely helpful for me as she brought my vision to life.

Chef Luis Albarran Maizo and his team were amazing! They made an amazing Tex-Mex dinner for us to kick off our friends' joint bachelor and bachelorette weekend! The spicy black bean tacos were a huge hit! And the leftover enchiladas came in handy throughout our weekend. We were also able to add a margarita station to our dinner, and Chef Aaron made some delicious margaritas! They also cleaned everything before they left for the night - we just had to sit back, drink our margaritas, and enjoy the food and each other's company!

"Très bien"

A wonderful experience all around. I highly recommend it!

Kat was amazing. The salad was probably the best salad I've had in years. The leftovers were even better than the original meal! I definitely underestimated the amount of leftovers and we ate well for a week! :)

Melissa was amazing! We will definitely hire her again, she made the best potatoes I’ve ever had. Even with our airbnb having a broken oven, she overcame and still made an incredible brunch for us. Thank you Melissa and her crew!

We had a great evening with Chef Damien Flo. He utilized his upbringing, his travels, and all of his chef experience to create a great atmosphere for us to experience fine dining in our home. His explanations were engaging, and the dishes were very tasty. He even set up s couple of easier-going meals for our two kids. Thank you, Chef Damien!

Chef Nikki is very skilled, professional, and so engaging. She took my special requests for my daughter’s bridal brunch, theme and all, and delivered an incredible meal with details that made the presentation even more memorable. Delicious food, excellent service, and will recommend her to everyone!

Chef Cihan was wonderful- professional, communicative and detail oriented. The food was amazing.

Marco (and Molly who served us) were both fantastic. Initially Marco was very attentive to making sure we could cater for our large family group with different ages and preferences. He then made up a great menu which transported us to Italy, in the depths of Derbyshire. The food was fantastic and everyone really enjoyed the evening, especially Marco's explanations of each course. The kitchen was left immaculate. We love the Takeachef website, have used it 4 times and never had a poor service. I would recommend it and Marco to anyone.
