We had the pleasure of having Tye cook for us for two days!! Literally the best experience! He’s not only a great chef but he’s so accommodating and engaging! His food … delish!….and presentation…amazing! We literally loved everything he made for us … just make sure no matter what, you get his lemon olive oil cake!!! ????

From the start, Michael was incredibly responsive and collaborative. The day of, everything was fantastic, energy was great, food was FANTASTIC and generous. Great attention to detail and complexity. We had an wonderful experience and we would highly recommend Michael and this service to anyone.

We had high expectations already for chef Jesse because of all of the glowing reviews. And yet he still seemed to exceed them in every way. Everything about the experience was exquisite. He showed up on time and could not have been friendlier. It was like being in our Michelin star restaurant. All we did was listen to Jesse’s stories about the cuisine and delight in the aromas textures and flavors over the course of the evening. I don’t remember a dining experience more and I feel like we hit the jackpot getting to book him for our special evening.

He did a great job with everything. The food was delicious and he was very engaging.

Kriss' communication before the evening was excellent. We confirmed the menu on the takeachef platform, and then he send over his mobile number so we could communicate further. We were in a holiday cottage so had a somewhat limit kitchen, and also asked Kriss to work as quietly as possible as our toddler was sleeping next door. Kriss arrive exactly when we had arranged, he was friendly and professional. He set to work while we put our son to bed. Then served up the lovely appetisers at the time we had agreed. All evening he worked extremely quietly allowing our son to sleep and my partner and I to enjoy a great night in. The food was great, cooked perfectly and presented very nicely. I would highly recommend Kriss if you are in the East Devon Cornwall area!

Frederico made this one of the most relaxing and special dinner parties we have ever hosted. Every detail was attended to and we could not be more grateful for the evening he helped create.

Alexis provided us with a very good meal, 100% equal to promised: starter was a bit flat, can have more fish, main was delicious, cheese platter was incredible. Adding homebaked whole weat bread (@some butter completes it) was very nice surprise. Service and timetable during dinner were perfect. Kitchen spotless. Punctuality on starting time open for improvement

Grand merci pour votre professionnalisme et la qualité de vos plats ! Super soirée !

Chef Siri was great, super food and really efficient.

Lenny was exceptional!!! We were at an Airbnb with 12 girls and we were short silverware so he made a trip to the store to get a couple more, I thought that was out of this world service!!!! He was quick and efficient with prep and clean up after. He made us laugh while presenting each course and the food was so so great and unique! Which is just what we wanted! Coursed perfectly, he set up a charcuterie table for us while we got ready then once we sat and had our toasts we had our app, then our mains! Then we were stuffedddd but he came out with a yummy dessert! 10/10

It was amazing

Chef Poc was amazing. I loved her cooking and her wonderful vibes. The food was Michelin 5 star. She is definitely going to be my go to chef forever. She really cares about her customers needs. Look forward to my review on instagram and Tik Tok. I am so looking forward to the next time she cooks for me. She is the best chef on this app, she makes sure to respond to you in a timely manner. I waited 10 years to have food mad eBay a private chef and I choose the cream of the crop. Hurry up and book with chef, don’t miss out on her. Delicious dishes. Thank you chef Poc.

Chef Kim exceeded our expectations and created a beautiful birthday dinner. He was professional and kind, he even went out of his way to tailor a plate for our 5-year-old guest. The food was incredible, there wasn't a crumb left on anyone's plate!

Loved having Chef Rivera in our home! He arrived on time, served up the entire meal and wine a pairing without a single hitch. His food was simple and delicious, and he took care to make any alterations we requested. He was very kind and positive the entire time, and we couldn't have been more pleased!

Chef Ety made an amazing steak and lobster dinner for us at our vacation home. She really takes care in the food she prepares! The west african dip was so good and loved the spice of it too! Highly recommend Chef Ety!

Benjamin did a wonderful job from the moment we received a sample menu. He made the necessary changes to accommodate our large group of 18. His communication and commitment were excellent. The food was delicious and perfectly done. We would highly recommend Benjamin.

Overall incredible

Great food, great service. We had a wonderful evening!

Solicitamos el servicio del Chef Álvaro para nuestra cena de aniversario, y la verdad es que fue una muy grata experiencia. En la tranquilidad de nuestro hogar pudimos disfrutar de una comida de calidad y un menú a la altura de los grandes restaurantes (19 pases que nos transportaron por diferentes tradiciones culinarias del mundo), en un ambiente íntimo que no fue perturbado en absoluto por la discreta presencia tanto del chef Álvaro, como de la metre Raquel. Todo resulto sencillo y muy natural, desde su llegada, adaptándose perfectamente a nuestras circunstancias con total delicadeza (tuvimos que para en mitad de la cena para dar de comer a nuestro bebé, lo que no les supuso ningún problema). Sin duda, una experiencia para repetir, con la tranquilidad que ofrece la profesionalidad demostrada del equipo y la garantía de una comida de calidad, tanto en producto, como en elaboración y presentación.

Chief was amazingly polite with a smile. He was very attentive and engaging. He answered questions and was very interactive with everyone at the 10-person birthday dinner party! I was most impressed with him taking off his shoes when he entered my home. And he brought his trash can and took the trash with him after joining my family to say good night. Thanks, Chef, you made my birthday special!
