Bradley was fantastic- food was delicious and well presented and he left the kitchen spotless. Very much recommend

Bradley was fantastic throughout the booking process and in the evening of our event. He made us amazing food and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. I would hesitate to recommend him.

Bradley is an excellent chef. He if friendly and efficient. His food was delicious.

Very professional and friendly. If we were to be in the area again we would definitely use him again

Bradley gave an incredible service from the proposal all the way to the end of the dining experience. He was very friendly, professional and helped with options for our large group. He hosted 20 of us for my 25th birthday. The food was incredible and every single person was blown away by the food, presentation and the service as a whole. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!

Bradley was exceptional. He worked with us on the menu, to suit everyone, even delivering multiple starters and deserts. He had the amazing ability to be invisible in an open plan kitchen/dining space, let us know what we were eating while not trying to be centre of attention (which he should have been because the food was knock-out). He also made us feel so at ease, was happy with our dog sniffing around, made us extra deserts so we could all have a taste of them. (And we ALL needed to taste the deep fried bread and butter pudding!!). He brought all the crockery/cutlery and left the kitchen immaculate. It was special, easy and we'd do it again tomorrow. Although maybe leaving it a few days as we are all still full! We cannot recommend Bradley enough. Thank you.

Excellent service from start to finish. The food was impeccable with generous servings. Thank you for an incredible dining experience.

The food created by Chef Bradley was amazing. A real treat to have him cook a meal for our 50th celebration. Would fully recommend him.
