Our family’s birthday dinner was made so special by having Tristan cook for us. He was punctual, engaging and a pleasure to have around. The quality of the food he produced was exemplary and the dishes satisfied even the most experienced palates around our table. His attention to menu composition resulted in amazing flavour profiles and combinations. Beautifully presented and served and: afterwards the kitchen looked like he had never even been there. Nothing short of incredible. Thank you, Tristan… you are a Master of a Chef!!

Chef Tristan, was fabulous, he arrived on time, even with the weather being quite horrible that evening! He created the most magnificent four course dinner, which was all plant based and mouth watering delicious and the presentation was seriously 5 star. I would highly recommend Chef Tristan and look forward to booking him for another special event in the future.

Tristan was such a pleasure to have. As a plant based chef he shared the same values that we do which is rare to come by. All of his dishes were cleverly planned and executed. He really took a plant based menu to the next level and I have no doubt that his cooking would be appealing to most people. We were also super interested in how he was preparing the meal and it made for such a nice experience to watch and chat to him while he was cooking. Thank you Tristan, we will definitely be seeing you again!!
