In their guests' words

Graeme was amazing. We were wanting a private dinner party for six. From the moment he introduced himself online to the end of our night, we cannot fault him. He replied promptly, listened to what how tastes were and put together a menu to suit us all. And we thoroughly enjoyed it. We would highly recommend Graeme for any type of function you're after. Thank you again Graeme. …
Catherine J.September 2026
Chef Graeme came to our house for my husbands 50th dinner with 10 people. Nothing was a problem in planning, the food was beautiful and he was great with so much going on (kids, pets etc). The house was left spotless and we all had to know how he got his potatoes so tasty and crunchy!! Would highly recommend.
Sandra R.September 2026
We had a fantastic experience with Chef Graeme. The food was incredible, full of flavour, beautifully prepared, and truly top quality. He was professional, friendly, and left the kitchen spotless, which made the whole evening effortless for us. We enjoyed a great night with amazing food and would highly recommend Chef Graeme!!
Valeria P.August 2026
Chef Graeme was awesome. He was a true no-fuss, no-problems chef, which was exactly what we needed for our brand's VIP dinner event. He was clearly very experienced and could easily cater to the more elevated, professional setting. Our dinner location had no matching cutlery, glasses or plates, and he was able to bring everything. He's also super easy to work with. …
Jason L.August 2026
