She is absolutely amazing, everything was perfect! Thank you so much for accommodating our birthday dinner at such short notice. Well done :)

The meal Paul made for us was absolutely incredible, it was a highlight of our holiday! We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking into a private dining experience and would definitely book him again!

Nelson was excellent!! Would absolutely recommend him to anyone

Had an awesome week with Zach and his cooking! Super good food, really good variety, highly recommend

Sehr freundlich, ordentlich, leckeres Essen und sehr gut vorherige Abstimmung.

We hired Francesco for my friends 60th birthday. He was a fantastic chef and made the whole experience amazing. Would definitely recommend

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart Chef Morgan for making my 19th anniversary truly unforgettable. Thank you for putting so much time, dedication, and effort into making everything so special. Every little detail mattered, and you made sure nothing went unnoticed. Your entire team was absolutely amazing! I came to you with an idea, and you brought it to life beyond anything I could have imagined. You didn't just prepare an amazing experience; you helped create memories that we will cherish forever. Thank you for your passion, hard work, and for making our special night everything I dreamed of and more. Me and my husband We are truly grateful!

Una experiencia buenísima. Fernando fue muy atento, rápido y la comida exquisita. Sin duda, volveremos a repetir.

Chef Jeffrey was very engaging, flexible, clean, accommodating and made a complete and delicious meal. We would recommend him as a chef 100%

Great chef!

Gathering it being my first experience with a private chef, everything was spectacular. The starters were plentiful and ended up being some of the best seafood ive ever had, the sauce on the prawns i were served was immaculate, Me and my friend who had this experience both said it would be a dish we would bring family from abroad to come and experience for themselves. The desserts were fresh and not unbearable. Im usually someone who cant handle the sweetness of a dessert too well but the mousse and the brownies we had were fresh and perfect to the taste. The way things were presented and explained to us about what to try and where to explore in the country too was very enlightening , would recommend.

One word…… Exceptional! Lemon Soul, Chef Jela was superb. The menu selections were fantastic, the food presentation was beautiful and best of all, the taste was fantastic! The communication and professionalism was always prompt and welcoming. A great time had by everyone there and I would be sure to use Lemon Soul, chef Jela again. Thank you so much. Kris.

Working with Chef Scott was an absolute pleasure. This was our first time doing something like this, and we can confidently say it won't be our last. The conversations, professionalism, and pf course the food all exceeded our expectations!

Chef Austin was fantastic. Great food, service and fun to hang with.

Chef Graeme was very good with communication from the start, flexible with the menu and had a very friendly and relaxed manner. He was very attentive with our questions and concerns. Unfortunately at the last minute due to an oversite, he was unable to attend our function but arranged for another chef he works with in his place. However, all the menu we selected was still the same and Chef Graeme did all the preparation. It was just a different chef on the night. The food did not let us down, was delicious and enjoyed by all and Chef Patrick, our replacement chef did Chef Graeme proud. We had the Mediterranean family style dinner for 8 and I would definitely recommend this option for a relaxed dinner party.

Our chef made the anniversary dinner we were celebrating very special and did all the setup in the outside area that we wanted to enjoy.

We love Chef Rob!! He worked closely with me to craft the perfect menu for a surprise dinner for my fiancée, and even worked with me and the host of the venue I booked to set up and stage the surprise. The dinner itself was exceptional, and we had a lovely conversation with Chef Rob as well. He is as much a great chef as he is a great person.

Chef Larissa provided an amazing service for my 30th birthday dinner. She was attentive ahead of the night - she responded fast, she gave great suggestions for the menu and built something that was perfect for me and all my friends. On the night, she arrived on time. She was efficient, prepared, polite, kind, and provided an incredible service. She was extremely adaptable and flexible when some more guests arrived, and she was able to serve them additionally, which was great. We really appreciate that. The food was incredible. It was well thought out, flavorful, and beautifully presented. She left the kitchen impeccable ❤️ Thank you so much for an incredible night, you made my birthday unforgettable ❤️

Absolutely amazing experience, fantastic service. 5* cannot rate it the experience enough. Started was a beautiful selection of Arancini and an asparagus salad. Main was a stunning selection of lamb, some vegetables and then a vegetarian beef wellington. Desserts were chocolate fondant, my favourite! Absolutely loved it, so flexible, great to have come round and absolutely would recommend again, 5*- Thank you :)
