Jacob cooked us a brilliant 3 course meal. He was super helpful with menus and costings and we would absolutely recommend his culinary wonders to all! Timings were perfect, food delicious, and kitchen left immaculate! Thank you so much Jacob!!

Sarah N

Jacob was awesome. No fuss, straight forward to deal with and cooked fantastic food! Thoroughly recommend his services!

Jacob was a brilliant chef for my dinner party last week. All of the communication up until the event was smooth and transparent - there were plenty of options provided for the menu and Jacob was able to accommodate all my requests with ease. On the night, Jacob was engaging, knowledgeable and he even cleaned up after. I couldn't recommend more highly and will certainly be using Jacob again.

This was a first for our family when hiring a large house for a 60th/70th and Jacob was great from the initial contact through to menu choice, flexibility and was very reassuring as the date approached. He arrived on time and was discreet, positive and down to earth and a joy to have around. His service support lady was equally charming and everyone was really impressed with the quality of food, presentation and quantity. Would highly recommend if you want a quality stress free dinner party. We had 24 people in the end with some last minute changes, which he graciously accommodated. Excellent all round! Would definitely hire again. Plus great value for money!

I cannot recommend Jacob more! From start to finish, Jacob was incredibly professional and kind. Communication was great - shared menu options, had a quick call and we were set. Even when I had to add three guests the night before our event, Jacob was incredibly accommodating. He arrived a bit before the dinner to prep, was friendly and engaging with us (and even our dog Tina)! Now for the food - five star restaurant quality in your own home. We did the crab & chili beignets and macerated tomatoes for canapés which were a perfect start to the night - and only got better from there. Highlight was the ribeye main - so buttery, probably one of the best ribeyes I’ve had (and I’m from Texas)! All in all, we’ll definitely be working with Jacob again and will be recommending him to everyone I know - thank you Jacob!

We managed an intimate gathering with professional presentation and service - the food was delicious and Jacob a pleasure to have around

Jacob cooked for us and a group of friends for my husband’s birthday. It was excellent! Not only was the good delicious (and the kitchen left spotless) but Jacob was very friendly too. He was happy to have our 3 young children watch him prepare the food and answered their endless questions. It was a wonderful evening thanks to Jacob!

Johan

It was the first party that I've hosted where I was absolutely stressed-free and relaxed as Chef Jacob took over the kitchen and too care of everything. His food was divine and my guests were raving about it till the next day. Will definitely use his culinary services again!

Laura R

Great food, good tidy up, great guy. Thankyou Jacob.

Megan H

I would highly recommend! Jacob communicated well, arrived on time, was organised and very clean and tidy. Food was outstanding. Will be using Jacob again!

Ewan

We asked Jacob to do some canapés for our small wedding reception and we were so impressed. Everything was so delicious and our guests were singing his praises later! The food was exquisite and Jacob was so friendly and professional. If we ever need a private chef we will definitely ask Jacob again. We might just make up an excuse to have him cook for us again otherwise!

Sarah F

I had the BEST birthday dinner party thanks to Jacob. Absolutely exceptional food - one of the best meals we've EVER had. Our guests were totally wowed. My mouth is watering just thinking about it writing this! The surf and turf was incredible. Jacob was so friendly and an absolute pleasure to have in our home - just the right amount of presence so we didn't feel like there was a stranger at the party! He fitted in so well and it all went seamlessly with everything tidied and cleaned up at the end as if no one had been in the kitchen! I'd HIGHLY recommend and can't wait to invite Jacob to our next special occasion 😁.

Disha G

We had the best evening when Jacob came to cook for us! Food was epic and it felt like a very special event. Highly recommend - in particular the French toast for dessert was very tasty and memorable!

Rosemary

Jacob was friendly relaxed but professional. Great food and the whole evening went very well

Tamara

Jacob was great! We easily agreed regarding the menu and any adjustments we needed were fulfilled. Dinner was super delicious and presentation was awesome!

Riccardo C

Jacob did a great job and made us feel important from the first communication, which some other chefs hadn't when we were speaking with them. He was responsive and gave good ideas and suggestions when we spoke, allowing us to make the decisions quickly. He was also flexible when numbers etc changed nearer to the event, Helping find a server for the day meant we had a lunch that felt extra special and everyone loved the food - with generous portions and good quality food. The lobster risotto was an amazing start to the meal and really set the scene for what followed. The kitchen was left clean and tidy and the day was a joy.

Menkil M

Always a pleasure having Jacob round, so calm, collected and exceptionally polite too. Whenever friends visit the city Jacob is the first person I call as I know his food and presentation never disappoints’

Betty I

It was amazing having Jacob cook for us. The food itself was everything we had hoped for and more. He explained all the food to my guests and cleared everything away too. Couldn’t have been better. Will definitely book him again x

Haleema J

Amazing food + great personality + prompt + clear communication. Went above expectations - already booked again!

Marissa L

Jacob's food was everything and more that we could have wanted for our special friend's Hen Party. We had canapés, starter and main. I particularly loved the crab crumpet. Thank you Jacob!
