Keith cooked us an amazing meal!

I would highly recommend Keith. He went above and beyond. The quality of the beef he sourced for my dinner was fantastic and he put a lot of effort and thought into the dishes and the presentation. I hardly knew he was there. He explained all of the dishes to my guests which was a nice touch. He left the kitchen in pristine condition and made the night so easy and relaxing for me as hostess.

Keith was awesome - would definitely recommend for a great meal (especially for large groups)

Keith was outstanding! Not only is he an excellent chef and explained to us the dishes he prepared, but being in Ireland the first time ourselves, he was more than happy answering our questions about the country. Food was delicious and was an amazing experience. I would recommend Keith to anyone!

Keith did an excellent job.

Chef Keith Gunning is a serious find, my dealings with him were so prompt and professional prior to the event. Keith was beyond accommodating and his food on the night was simply spectacular both visually and to taste. The kitchen was spotless afterwards and he made my mother’s 70th a night to remember! Five star rating all round and we will use Keith again for any event we have.

Keith did a great job and at very short notice. He was able to come up with the perfect menu for our event and was very quick to respond to all queries. I would definitely recommend him!
