Chef Gerda was absolutely brilliant! She created a delicious menu for my friends hen do based on a description I had given of the bride to be and her foodie interests. Gerda was communicative in the lead up to the event, arrived early, cracked on in the kitchen so that we could continue enjoying our hen do afternoon, was chatty and friendly, prepared amazing food (with a little bit extra so we could try some other dishes) and did a fantastic clean up. She made us all feel totally relaxed and provided a seamless wonderful hen do evening dinner! Thank you Gerda!

Our evening with Paul was an incredible experience, I highly highly recommend anyone that's considering the idea to go for it. Paul's skill and experience was evident throughout, everything about it was professional, high calibre fine dining. This includes the menu proposals (plus some alternative options we requested), the communication leading up to the event, the way he conducted himself in our kitchen and most importantly the food. The food was amazing, no other way to describe it. We asked for a vegan menu, and fortunately for us that didn't seem to limit Paul at all - it was the best meal I think we've ever had, of any kind.

Delicious meal and appreciated the flexiblity, even after having to change the head count a couple of times last minute. All went really well, thank you!

Andy (Fallon-Barnes) made sure our special evening was a unique, and incredible experience. "Take a Chef" was really easy to navigate, and book and (from the off) communicate with the chefs. We felt safe using the site throughout. We booked Andy for my 60th birthday meal (for 15).......The food was cooked to perfection, with dish explanations for all options delivered eloquently. Andy was cooking close to the dining area, which added a unique element to the setting. He was on the periphery during courses, yet also very much present as 'part of the experience', and he added polite humour to the evening. The clean up was exceptional, and his eventual exit were also very well timed, and balanced. A first rate evening enjoyed by all of our guests, and an experience we will never forget Thanks Andy, and Thanks TAKE A CHEF!
