We had the pleasure of Guido cooking…
We had the pleasure of Guido cooking for us last night. It was a Ruby Wedding Anniversary. The food was exceptional from the canapés through the 3 courses. Guido is absolutely charming. He also left the kitchen immaculately clean. We as a party decided a return trip to the Cotswolds so that we can experience Guido’s cooking again. Thank you Guido.
Perfect dinner!
Thank you so much to David and Guido for the most amazing meal for my sisters hen party!!
We had some last min dietary requirements which both Guido and David were able to cater for and adapt the menu. The food was absolutely delicious. David also was so tidy on the night and kept everything so clean!!
Thank you again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience….
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with the Cotswolds Chef! Guido catered a delicious 3 course meal for a party of 10 in Hereford. The standard of the food was impeccable and he provided a clean, friendly and 10/10 experience for us.
I would 100% use Guido again and would strongly recommend to anyone looking for a caterer for a special occation.
Birthday Meal in Huntley
We had a great meal that was beautifully presented and more importantly tasted fantastic. The scallops were to die for and the lamb cutlet cooked to perfection. The cheese board was phenomenal!! Thanks for a great evening that made our Friend's birthday perfect!
Truly amazing multi course meal

Fantastic food and wonderful service from Chef Guido. Our group of 16 was extremely happy with the amazing lunch served to us. The kitchen was left spotless and it was truly a stress free experience. We're trying to arrange a date for another meal! Thank you!

5 course, 15 people, 5 stars!
Guido cooked a 5 course meal for 15 of us. Extremely professional, tidy, friendly, and faultless! He took into account different dietary requirements and made up vegan dishes especially for me. Can’t rate his service highly enough. I really felt relaxed and looked after in safe hands. Would 100% use his services again and I hope we get the chance. What an experience!
Unforgettable night…amazing!
Guido was fantastic!
He knew that I was planning my wifes 40th Surprise birthday and assured me with my concerns etc. Guido who is the chef for Cotswold Chef was brilliant from day one. He went through the whole process with me on the menu choices and even advised that he would be happy to cater for the children we had in our party. As we have a few vegans in the family Guido said he could adapt to there needs which was fantastic. Not once was i In any doubt leading to the dinner party as Guido kept me informed every step of the way. In fact even the on the day I had to call him to ask if I could add a few extra guests as plans changed. It wasn’t a problem for him at all. On the day he came on time adapted himself to the kitchen and told us to go and relax with our guests and enjoy the party. The courses came out on time and it was art on a plate, it looked so beautiful. It tasted how it looked (I’d recommend the scallops and salmon fish cakes) it was divine, every course was divine. There was pure silence in the room when we all ate, no complaints at all. The service was fantastic, we also had a waitress Abbey who was lovely breaking the ice with us serving our dishes. At the end of the night we were greeted by Guido and we all applauded to such a brilliant evening. As a bonus the kitchen was completely cleared up, dishes all in the dishwasher and mess free. The meal was so personal and intimate that I would definitely recommend Cotswolds Chef. An unforgettable night. Thank you Guido.
Wow!
Wow ! What a wonderful service!
Guido cooked for 6 of us celebrating a 60th birthday. I cannot fault anything about the evening.
The food was divine and prepared with such care and attention to detail. I don't think I have eaten do much for some time but didn't want to miss one mouthful! We all agreed that the food was sensational.
Guido and Dave left my kitchen in spotless order and it has heavenly not to face a mountain of washing up this morning.
My friends an I enjoyed a truly relaxing evening and I can heartily recommend the Cotswold Chef - fabulous 👌

Had a brilliant evening at my friend's…
Had a brilliant evening at my friend's hen do. Guido cooked and served us a wonderful dinner, was beautifully presented and delicious. Guido left the kitchen in a wonderfully clean state! Could not fault Guido and his service.
Amazing home dining
We booked the Cotswolds Chef Ltd to cater for a family get together at a large house in Berkshire. From the first email with our initial enquiry Guido could not have been more helpful and responded promptly to any queries we had. The menu choices are wide and varied and even though some of our party had different dietary requirements nothing proved to be too much trouble and Guido went out of his way to make sure everyone was catered for. On the day of the meal Guido arrived promptly to prepare and set up and when we sat down he gave a little introduction to each course. The food was absolutely wonderful, of such high quality and each and every plate was completely cleared! After the meal everything was cleared away for us and when Guido left the kitchen was spotless. This was a wonderful experience, it was so lovely for thirteen of us to be able to sit down and have such an amazing meal provided for us at our accommodation. We cannot recommend highly enough Guido's services and would certainly want to repeat this culinary experience when we are next in the area.
The Cotswolds Chef
Guido was very easy to communicate with and was able to rearrange when we had to cancel due to coved restrictions.
We chose the premium menu and the range of choices was excellent.
On the day he arrived at the arranged time and started to prepare the food which was served at the prearranged time.He explained what each course consisted of then returned to the kitchen to cook the next course..When each course was finished he cleared the table and then we had a short wait before the next course.
The food was all excellent and thoroughly enjoyed by all of us.We have already recommended Guido to someone we know who lives near him.
We felt Guido was very efficient,the food was excellent,the price was good and I have no problem recommending him.
