Alan was amazing. His food was absolutely insane, every single course (and surprise course!!) was utterly delicious. He was extremely helpful in putting the menu together beforehand when people in our party of 14 couldn't eat something. He arrived with his assistant and I wasn't allowed to lift a finger, he literally just got on with everything without hesitation and when they left it was like they hadn't even been there, it was spotless! Will be booking him again and would recommend to everyone! 5*! Thank you!

Darius cooked for me and my husband to celebrate his 30th birthday. What an evening we had! Darius was so friendly and relaxed he is clearly an expert in what he does. Not only did he prepare us amazing food, he shared his expertise with us and had great conversation. The food was exquisite better than any restaurant I have been to. I can’t thank Darius enough for such a wonderful evening, we will definitely be booking again!

Chef Alex produced an outstanding four-course dinner for 11 people, for our family celebration. His initial menu options were many and all sounded delicious. Once we'd made our selection, his communication was prompt and all organisation went without fuss. I can only recommend Take a Chef - Alex Jucan produced a high quality and well presented meal without breaking a sweat. Five Stars from me!

WOW! Davide made us the best meal we had in Puglia. The food was fresh, unique and absolutely delicious. We asked to amend the menu to allow for more courses and he delivered, providing us with an incredible 7 course meal with wine pairing. the wines were fantastic. Would recommend Davide and his team to anyone. Thank you!
