Chef Mpumelelo was amazing. I booked him for a Mother’s Day dinner for my wife. He was punctual and the food was amazing. They also cleaned up so thoroughly after the service. 10/10

What a lovely dinner. Chef Mpumelelo and his team arrived well in advance and everything was beautifully organised. The crusted Hawaiian chicken as the appetizer was delicious, followed by the scallops with risotto as a wonderful starter. The surf and turf and chocolate volcano that followed were equally impressive. The ingredients were clearly top quality and everything was prepared fresh on site. The team was friendly and attentive, and they truly made our birthday celebration memorable.

Chef Mpumelelo Ngwenya was 10/10 - punctual, communicative, professional & served top tier dishes. Would definitely recommend.

Chef Dudi was fantastic in every way. He allowed the evening to be at the pace that the guests set. He brought every single thing he might need, didn’t ask for anything. The food was just … phenomenal! From the prawn appetizer, to the scallop starter, the most juicy and tender rib-eye steaks, and panna cotta dessert, each dish was flawless. Our guests were so impressed, we will definitely use Chef Dudi again. Amazing.

I got Chef Mpumelelo for a dinner with friends. He didn’t disappoint, the food was delicious and beautifully plated. He was punctual, he brought everything with him and tidied up when done. He made hosting a breeze.

Mpumelelo was interactive, able to accommodate any changes to menu as he had proposed on the website. He was very engaging and attentive to the kids. Explained ingredients of the menu and cleaned up after himself. He was professionally dressed and and very efficient and quick in prepping meals taht were very delicious.

Thank you to Chef Mpumelelo for an exquisite culinary adventure. The menu was adjusted for a seafood lover/non-meat eater. The portion sizes were generous and in general very well presented. I wouldn’t have changed a thing with the appetisers and starters. Mains was incredible-crusted calamari tubes and squid heads (a favourite). The dessert was a first time experience (orange crème brûlée) which was superb-only thing I’d add is a dark chocolate/orange drizzle on the side. Overall, a 10/10 experience and would highly recommend.
