Margret P

Fantastic evening Thanks so much to Layla for a fabulous meal and for allowing us to have a relaxed time and be together without having to lift a finger! The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We had a lovely evening to celebrate my daughter's 21st she really made it a special celebration. Many thanks.

Anne M

Layla was superb. I would have loved her to be a dinner guest and not just the chef! Layla was accommodating and super organised. The food was exceptional and her tone and approach perfectly matched the evening. She made a fun night exceptional.

Layla went above and beyond to make it special Layla was very professional and on time. She cooked the dinner to perfection and made sure she left the kitchen spotless. Everyone loved the food!

Thea

Layla and her assistant were delightful, punctual and unobtrusive (but lovely to chat to). The food was absolutely delicious and the evening was so easy. Highly recommend.

Emma M

Delicious food but ran out! Food was really tasty lovely salads and dressings but sadly not enough of everything (we ordered for 35 - 35 people came to garden party).

Flora F

Delicious 5 star dining at home! From the get-go, Layla was a super fast to respond and answer any questions we had. On the night, everyone was super impressed with the quality of the food and the professional service. The pomegranate & rose water sorbet was a real highlight and finished the dinner off perfectly!

Richard B

Delicious Canapés We had 20 over for drinks and canapes, it was great to have Layla there to take care of the food and impress the guests! Would definitely recommend.

Anna

Leila did an amazing job, she even managed to cook for 16 people at our house. Super nice way of presenting it, great presentation style of food and food being absolutely delicious. I am happy to book her again in the future and can recommend her a lot! She was also super nice and flexible for Vegetarian Options and I had full trust to leave my kitchen to her and even leave the house during prep time! Thank you Leila! ...
