Harry enabled us to have a wonderful evening of birthday celebrations with some excellent food and explanation of the dish ingredients. We didnt feel rushed at any moment and Harry was punctual and engaged well with our guests. Would recommend.

I booked Harry as a surprise for my friend’s 40th birthday, for him and his partner. They both said that his food was incredible and the whole experience, from start to finish, with Harry was amazing. They both are struggling to think of a better meal that they have had before. Thank you so much to Harry for making their evening one to remember. I/they couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Fantastic lunch with incredible local ingredients and awesome guy. Fully recommend Harry.

Food was incredible from Harry and presented very well. I do feel a few finer touches could be improved. Communication leading up to the event could have been better. There was a mismatch of plates, no napkins ect which I feel either the chef should bring with them or could have communicated with myself and I would have bought. Possible a table decoration, something simple as all looked a bit bare. Previously we used take a chef and had a different chef who was in their chef white which looked very professional. On the whole was a good experience

Harry was friendly and professional. We agreed the menu in advance and Harry communicated a few days before to confirm arrangements. The food was fantastic and the ingredients were fresh well presented. Would highly recommend Harry.

A wonderful man and a pleasure to have Harry cook for us.

Harry was amazing , I will definitely be recommending him to others

Harry was incredibly warm, friendly and professional. He managed to squeeze us in last minute in a very busy week, and you wouldn't have known. The food was tailored to the needs of the group and it was lovely to hear about where all of the ingredients came from. Whilst preparing delicious food, he was happy to chat to the guests and made us feel really relaxed. Finally, the bride of the party said the dessert was one of the best vegan desserts she'd ever had !! Thanks Harry!
