We had Elliott and his fabulous team cater my husbands 50th birthday last week. The food was absolutely outstanding and we had the best comments from all our guests. Elliott and his team are also so lovely to deal with and we cannot wait to use his services again. Highly recommend loved it so thank you
The most magical experience! This was the best meal I have ever eaten! My friends and I always love tasting menus and we visit often - this was next level! The food was immaculately presented and equivalently done perfectly to any Michelin star restaurant! The food was generous - genuinely incredible value for money! Caroline & Guilherme we’re also able to perfectly recommend wine pairing to elevate the experience! Caroline & Guilherme we’re incredibly warm and it felt like having friends cook in our Home! We can’t wait for the next one! Thanks so much!
This was an exceptional fine dining experience! I recently celebrated my birthday with my siblings, and Caroline and Guilherme prepared a truly wonderful lunch for us. I must admit, I was initially a bit apprehensive, as I had never tried anything like this before. However, I couldn't have been happier with how it all turned out. Caroline and Guilherme were delightful hosts, and their culinary skills were outstanding. We indulged in a delightful 6-course tasting menu, savoring each course with great enthusiasm. Initially, I thought this would be a one-time experience when I arranged it, but I'm already contemplating when I can repeat it. I cannot speak highly enough of Caroline and Guilherme - their expertise made this birthday celebration truly memorable.
I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you all for the immense teamwork and collaboration on Kristina & Nick's wedding day, It all ran like absolute clockwork, and you were all so wonderful to work with. I think it's safe to say they had the best weekend of their life which is what we are all aiming for!

Our chef Evy was brilliant from start to finish. Super professional and flexible...she was happy to time things when it suited us. The food was sensational....we had limited options due to various food allergies and dietary needs, but Evy came up with a magnificent menu that suited out needs. It was a fabulous meal...and best of all no washing up! I would highly recommend Evy for any home chef needs.
It was such a pleasure having you with us. The Oyster Experience was fantastic and received great feedback from guests. The roaming style worked beautifully in the space, and it brought such a nice touch of theatre to the event.
5 stars!
From the first interaction to the last engaging with Jessie was a pleasurable experience. What impressed me the most was how personable Jessie is also her process of customising the menu to our liking. The food was delicious (and educational ;-)), my guests and I loved how well the CBD oils were paired with the courses. I highly recommend Jessie and would definitely hire her again.
