Amazingly positive experience

Amazingly positive experience. From start to finish, Darryl dealt efficiently and patiently with our menu choice in an extremely professional manner.
Our chef Charlie was perfect. Pleasant and friendly yet unobtrusive.
The food was of exceptional quality.

Bespoke Dinner party for 25th Birthday

From the first contact I had with Darryl he was efficient and professional advising on menu choices. He was prompt in replying to my emails and we then discussed final menu details over the phone. Chef Bonito and Front of House Zee arrived early and wasted no time in preparing our bespoke meal for my daughter’s 25th birthday. Zee also was our mixologist for the evening and prepared the cocktails which we had requested before the event.
The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Both Bonito and Zee were very professional and my kitchen was left spotless at the end of the evening. I would not hesitate in recommending Chef’s Compliments for your next event.

We used Chefs Compliments for our Wedding

We used Chefs Compliments for our Wedding Garden Party. We had a bespoke BBQ tailored to our desires. The food was incredible, the staff were very friendly and very respectful of our home and went the extra mile to help out on the day. Highly recommend

I never want to cook my own celebration dinner again…

Darryl was really responsive and helpful when I was organising the dinner. Chef Bonito cooked up a delicious feast and the icing on the cake for us was Silvanna (front of house) who took over the setting of the table, made lovely little flower arrangements with our flowers, greeted the guests, served champagne and canapés etc. She was brilliant. We had a lovely meal and it was all cleared up at the end. Everyone loved it and I have already passed the details on to a friend. I would highly recommend.

Our saviour!

Darryl was our man to the rescue due to losing our other caterer at short notice. Quick response, good comms leading up to the dinner, great menu options and delivered on the day by Benito and Zee to a high standard.

Exceptional food

I just wanted to send a huge thank you to you, Chef Bonito, Daniel and Kiera for the exceptional food and service they provided for our 20-person wedding reception. The food was absolutely incredible - we were thrilled. It was everything we hoped for and more.

The team were so lovely, and everyone was singing the praises of Chef Bonito - a phenomenal talent. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

We very much hope to find an occasion to be in touch in the future.

Enormous thanks again for all your professionalism in the planning. It has been seamless.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We used Chef's Compliments for a Virtual Team Event

We used Chef's Compliments for a virtual team event and Chef Darryl was excellent! Very patient and clear with instructions. He was happy to wait for everyone to catch up and repeated the steps when asked. He was very engaging and fun and the whole experience was great! Oh, and the food was amazing!! We made Chicken or Aubergine Katsu Curry with Steamed Coconut Rice and Chocolate and Lemon Cheesecake. I highly recommend the recipes, Chef Darryl and Chef's Compliments. Thank you Darryl!

Top notch food and service

We had a fabulous evening to celebrate our son’s 30th Birthday. The food prepared by Chef Gareth was excellent, he surpassed all our expectations and made the evening very memorable.

Everybody commented on the high standard of flavoursome cooking which we all enjoyed and was beautifully presented.

In addition we were well looked after at the table by Ben, making the evening a night to remember. We could relax with our family and friends while Chef Gareth was in charge of everything. This was top notch food and service.

Exceeded the expectations

I booked a dinner for 2 as a Christmas present for my boyfriend, and it really exceeded the expectations! I got to choose the menu according to our preferences and the whole booking process was really smooth. The food was delicious and our Chef Petko was very friendly and professional. I've already enquired for another birthday dinner with family!

Many thanks to Darryl for such a wonderful experience!
I was a bit worried before the whole thing started because I’d never tried anything like that before. But it turned out to be fantastic!
Here’s a small tip: print out the recipes, read them carefully beforehand and put them in front of you while cooking. That helped a lot :)
