To have a chef in your kitchen cook g for you is a huge privilege but ChefArnaud offered so much more than this. He glided into our kitchen and instantly read our family so well, within minutes it felt as if he were a long lost friend. He worked in my kitchen as if it were his own, finding everything he needed with no fuss and very few questions. He engaged with my daughters aged 7 and 9 teaching them how to cook egg fried rice while making them giggle and laugh. They both fell for him immediately. The food was delicious and his chat was great! The only difficult moment was opening the door at the end of the night and saying goodbye! My husband said it was the best birthday present I’ve given him!

Andrea and his team were absolutely first class. They arrived in good time to get set up and ready for the first guests. Nothing was too much trouble! The cocktails and service he provided was excellent, and all the guests commented about the wonderful experience. I can't recommend Olive & Pineapple highly enough. I want to have another party........ Just to invite them back!

We had Chef Chad to do the food at my wife’s Mexican themed get together as the initial restrictions ended. We did it sharing/buffet style to suit the informal nature of the event. The booking was super easy and Chad got back to me immediately to discuss the menu and what I was looking for. All sorted out very quickly. Chad was an absolute delight to have in the kitchen and the food….WOW…..our guests could not of been happier. My personal favourite was the Beef Barbacoa a slow cooked brisket cooked in beef stock, ancho, pasilla, jalapeño, salsa verde, adobo, onions and garlic. The Chicken cooked with tequila and baked black beans were also getting rave reviews but in truth it was all delicious. It was made all the more interesting as Chad gathered the group together to explain every dish, not just the dish but how it was created. A special day. Thanks Chad!

Mickael is an exemplary chef and a perfectionist in all that he does. His passion for his work never ceases to amaze.

We engaged Chef Stefano to cook a multi-course Christmas Banquet for our family of eight in London in December 2024. For context: we are a multi-generational family, all gourmands, (at one point I was an anonymous restaurant reviewer) with varying preferences in terms of cuisine but thankfully the common ground of the flavours of the Mediterranean, which was the brief we provided Chef Stefano. To say Chef Stefano surpassed our expectations is an understatement. Ten months later and I am still dreaming of the symphony of starters that was a beetroot gravlax with salmon, marinated sea bass that showcased the fish with a vibrant citrus and dill dressing and finally beef Carpaccio that was simplicity rendered decadent. Yes, it was thinly sliced beef and there were parmesan shavings, however, the truffle and mustard condiment was nothing short of ambrosial. The write-an-essay-about-it chicken liver pate fashioned into Christmas tree forms (the children in our number loved that touch) was smooth, rich, suitably boozy with the marsala wine and intense in flavour. And because portions were generous, it was a welcome addition to the breakfast table the following morning! For our main course we opted for Porchetta and baked salmon topped with pomegranates. The medley of sides ranged from perfectly executed classics such as roasted parsnips and carrots (which Chef Stefano made festive with the addition of a maple syrup dressing), lentils baked in a pumpkin gourd and a raw broccoli salad with pine nuts and baby spinach leaves that was a refreshing counterpoint to our other choices. Our puddings of Monte Bianco and Tiramisu were the kind of conclusion of dreams::meringue pavlova, chestnut cream, chantilly and chocolate on one hand, and layers of coffee soaked biscuits with the optimal ratio of mascarpone and chocolate on the other. Chef Stefano also prepared a lasagne for the children as an additional dish - a thoughtful inclusion in case they were picky eaters - but devoured by us all with alacrity. The effusiveness of this review is also due to Chef Stefano's professionalism. He arrived on time, plated everything beautifully and created a culinary experience that my family and I will cherish for many years to come.

Sensational food Fergus catered canapés and bowl food for 30 guests at home. The food was sensational - our guests can’t stop commenting on the quality of the cooking. His rendang and baked Alaska were my personal favourites. Fergus was both easy to communicate with and accommodating. His team were really lovely and took care of everything. Thank you Fergus!

Such a beautiful and meditative practice. The simplicity taught me so much about my inner world. I had no idea that so much could be expressed through simple drawings. It was amazing with Ekta

Chef Michael and his wife did an outstanding job in providing the exquisite food for our wedding reception. The menu selection, preparation and presentation were all conducted to perfection. He certainly brought Michelin standards right into our home and our guests really appreciated it. We will certainly recommend Chef Michael's services to others and use his again, as and when the occasion arises.

Jacob was fantastic…… arrived on time, prepared all the fresh produce from scratch…… ❤️ Food was delicious and he has a great,fun personality. The steaks were cooked to everyone’s liking and that’s no easy task!!!. I would definitely recommend Jacob and have him again 👌
