Stephanie

Wonderful food! Lots of flavors we enjoyed but can’t get just anywhere. Fantastic experience for my mom’s birthday dinner at our Airbnb. Chef Mirko had great communication beforehand. The menu was perfectly planned and was multi course. Perfect evening!

Carly

Kit was the perfect chef for our birthday celebration. He engaged with the children, dog and adults equally. The food he produced was beyond our expectations. We were suitable stuffed at the end of our dining experience. Thank you so much Kit for such a memorable birthday celebration.

Nayera

We had the pleasure of having Gianni over to cook for us and everyone LOVED the experience and the food. Gianni was very flexible and knowledgable with curating a wonderful menu for us and the food was fantastic. On top of that he left the kitchen spotless which allowed us to just enjoy our evening together. Would highly recommend - thank you Gianni!

Emily

What a delightful birthday surprise dinner for my husband crafted by Chef Corentin, The many course dinner from appetizers to main course and dessert was done to perfection. Chef Corentin was on time, cordial and is a true culinary talent as he served the many courses paired with wines in a seamless fashion that rival our French restaurants in Chicago. If you’re looking for an international experience look no further than Chef Corentin. Thank you for such a wonderful dining experience!

Abbi

A big thankyou to Paul for such a fab evening. From booking, to regular updates, to arrival & set up on the day it was all perfect. He was super friendly & knowledgeable of all the courses and made some great recommendations when selecting our menu. We loved the evening with him & it was an added bonus that Paul ensured all dishes were washed before he left (we didn’t expect this) so a big Thankyou to Paul. I would definitely look to book Paul again for future events & would recommend to anyone.

Karina

Chef Kelsey was everything and MORE than I expected. We booked her for a private dinner as part of my sisters bachelorette week in Miami. The food was absolutely amazing, every dish was full of flavour, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. What really stood out was that she was so generous with the portions; there was no scrimping at all, and everyone was beyond satisfied. She created such a special atmosphere for us and made the whole experience feel luxurious, fun, and effortless

Ted

Excellent 1st class👍👍👍

Katie

Sergejs cooked for us at our holiday home in Porth and the meal was absolutely out of this world. Every dish was incredible — restaurant quality, but better because it was just for us. His attention to detail was amazing, from the beautiful presentation to how he tailored everything to our tastes. He was professional, friendly, and made the whole evening feel so special. If you’re in Cornwall and want a private chef experience you’ll never forget, book Sergejs. Highly recommend!
