From start to finish they were professional and friendly, the ultimate test given one of our guests was a retired chef. We could not recommend this experience more highly, all our guests had a great time and we shall definitely be repeating the experience. Thank you. > > — Phil, 5/5 > Wonderful and excellent food, great personality and very professional. 100% recommendation > > — Ariel, 5/5 > Mickael is an exemplary chef and a perfectionist in all that he does. His passion for his work never ceases to amaze. > > — Heidi, 5/5 > What a pleasure and what a feast!! Chef Mickael delighted and surprised us with a relaxed but superbly elegant menu for a Monday night gathering featuring deliciously combined and foraged ingredients from the Sussex countryside…. And we cheated a little on the vegan theme with the most insane wild wood oven smoked salmon joint served as a cheeky accompaniment on the side. Definitely to be repeated … and soon!!! > > — Jennica, 5/5 > I was provided with a chef for a lunch at home. This was a great success with delicious food and we all had a truly enjoyable lunch and afternoon without any of the stress involved in preparing food while hosting! > > — Bianca, 5/5 ## More from Chef Mickael - [Vegan Haute Cuisine Dinner - Gourmet Dining Experience](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/haute-cuisine-vegan-dinner?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £140.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/haute-cuisine-vegan-dinner.md)) - [Thanksgiving Feast Made Easy: Your Private Chef Awaits!](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/thanksgiving?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £180.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/thanksgiving.md)) - [Luxury Pre-Christmas Lunch or Dinner (up to 21st December)](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/luxury-pre-christmas-lunch-or-dinner?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £400.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/luxury-pre-christmas-lunch-or-dinner.md)) - [Christmas Party Cold Buffet](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/christmas-party-cold-buffet?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £150.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/christmas-party-cold-buffet.md)) - [Luxury large party event (20 plus guests)](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/experience-carte-blanche?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £200.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/experience-carte-blanche.md)) - [Luxury BBQ Experience Carte Blanche](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/bbq-experience-carte-blanche?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £140.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/bbq-experience-carte-blanche.md)) - [Bespoke 5 course tasting menu for dinner](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/bespoke-tasting-menu-for-dinner?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £180.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/bespoke-tasting-menu-for-dinner.md)) - [Game Shoot Season, luxury private chef](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/private-chef-haute-cuisine?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £1,100.00 per private chef / hour ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/private-chef-haute-cuisine.md)) ## Similar Private Chefs experiences - [Cheese & Wine Pairing at Home with Sommelier Fleur](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/cheese-and-wine-pairing?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £90.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/cheese-and-wine-pairing.md)) - [Sushi & Sashimi Bar by Chef Marco A – Asian bites & bowls](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/sushi-sashimi-asian-bar?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £95.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/sushi-sashimi-asian-bar.md)) - [Global BBQ Experience with Smoked Meats by Chef Elliott](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/ultimate-grilling-service?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £70.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/ultimate-grilling-service.md)) - [Freshly Shucked Oyster Experience by Dominique at Home](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/oyster-experience-freshly-shucked-oysters?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £18.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/oyster-experience-freshly-shucked-oysters.md)) - [South American Dinner Party - Private Chef Experience](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/south-american-dinner-party?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £90.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/south-american-dinner-party.md)) - [Luxury Canapés for 150 – Exclusive Catering Service](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/luxury-seasonal-canapes?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £465.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/luxury-seasonal-canapes.md)) - [Chai & Bites Pop-Up by Private Chef Aida](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/flavors-of-karachi-feast?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £15.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/flavors-of-karachi-feast.md)) ## How to book Book or request a quote on the experience page: https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/pre-christmas-party-lunch-or-dinner-with-canapes?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown
