Our chef Cheryl was offered a huge variety of options, she was organised and efficient, and the food was amazing. We all really enjoyed the experience and would definitely do it again. Cheryl is obviously a very experienced chef, and has done alot of in house catering and it shows. Thank you Cheryl

Emanuel was awesome. His food was amazing. We ate like Kings and Queens, and still there was more food. He arrived when he said he would, prepared some amazing dishes and left a perfectly spotless kitchen ????We all had a fabulous time

Wocholas Liew was an amazing chef he made our dinner feel very special and definitely an experience never to forget he was very friendly completely explained everything and even went to the trouble of making my partner an extra little cake for his birthday would gladly recommend cheers Nicole and Brenton.

We were fortunate enough to have secured the services of Chef Thomas Burnett to cater for our holiday in Queenstown in July 2021. Thomas planned, prepared and served 3 course dinners for my family of 5 for the week. Thomas sourced high-quality local and seasonal ingredients to create meals that were healthy and delicious. Thomas prepared restaurant standard meals and provided table service. We have 3 teenage sons and they were full of praise for the meals. He even prepared gourmet burgers for them one night. I have one son who is allergic to nuts and another who is vegetarian. Thomas was able to accommodate their needs. Thomas is an absolute professional and we appreciated his attention to detail. He was also a pleasure to have in the home. I would highly recommend Chef Thomas Burnett for both high end and family catering.

However, no matter which chef you choose, we guarantee that you’re in good hands: all of our chefs have at least a decade of experience under their belt and have been trained in top culinary schools. As soon as you receive a menu, we’ll put you in touch with the chef so that you can sort out all the details and make sure everything is to your liking!
