Andrew was professional, engaging and a delight to work with throughout the whole process but, most importantly, the food was sensational. Thanks Andrew for an awesome afternoon!

Chef Andrew catered our annual Christine in July birthday dinner for six, and the entire evening was exceptional. He arrived early to prepare, provided seamless silver service, and was incredibly accommodating with dietary changes and substitutions. The tasting menu was beautifully presented, every course was absolutely delicious, and all six guests were thoroughly impressed. My wife and her friends loved every minute of the evening, and Andrew made me look like a rock star for organising it! If you're looking for an outstanding private dining experience with exceptional food and professional service, I highly recommend Chef Andrew.

We had never done anything like this before. Andrew was super discreet and worked like a true professional to make sure that we had one of the beat meals of our lives. Inviting someone into your home to cook for you can seem daunting. With Andrew, we were able to leave everything to him while we enjoyed the menu and attended to our 2 year old. I would encourage anyone take the leap!

We hired chef Andrew for a birthday celebration for 8 people. Andrew sent his initial menu proposals and then worked with me to tailor to our tastes. On the night of the event, he turned up on time and quickly and quietly got down to work. The meal was absolutely fabulous, myself and the guests were very impressed, they looked and tasted amazing. Andrew was so discreet in the kitchen, I was surprised to see that he had not only tidied the kitchen, but he had washed, dried and put away my crockery! You would never have known he had been there. We’d definitely recommend and I’ve passed his details on to my guests and other friends. Thank you Andrew!

Chef Andrew was incredible! He was so helpful and responsive in the process of setting the menu, and open to swapping things out to make them suit our taste preferences. Entrees, mains and desserts were all incredible. Best lamb I have ever had in my life! I would 100% book Chef Andrew again and all of my friends have asked for his details. Thanks for making my 30th one to remember!!

Omg Chef Andrew made our wedding !!! Everyone was raving about the food and his professionalism and can do attitude was such a relief on a special day such as our wedding day ! We threw some curve balls at poor Andrew when I forgot 2 guests were vegetarian and Andrew just whipped up something from our fridge with no problems and everyone was happy Thank you so much Andrew and crew The food was divine, service amazing and you left my kitchen area spotlessly clean. Probably better than when you entered !!! Thanks so much Kylie and Phillip

Andrew was amazing as usual guests were very impressed great service and food amazing Sue Moss

This was the first time that we hired a private chef, and we would do it again, I’ve already shared recommendations to my friends! Chef Andrew was great from the moment of enquiry to the end. He answered all of my questions, shared tips, and was very adaptable to the dietaries and preferences. Excellent communication that helped to put my mind at ease. The food was incredible and still talked about the next day. Great produce, amazing taste, and aesthetically pleasing when plated. Chef Andrew cleaned up and assisted in between courses. So much easier than hosting on your own! Highly recommend.

Andrew was professional. Very easy to work with and came well prepared. Made the day very seamless and enable us to enjoy our day and the excellent food.

Enjoyable evening meal was great

Fantastic dinner second time and will book him again ????

Andrew did a great job for our wine dinner party and would use him again and recommend him to other

Having Andrew as our chef was like bringing a five-star restaurant to our kitchen. The recipes were spot-on, and the ingredients were delicious! It turned our Christmas celebration into a gourmet meal. Thank you Andrew. Totally amazing!

Andrew was amazing - a great help when it came to determining the menu for our dinner beforehand, and then incredible delivery on the night - food looked amazing and tasted even better! Would 100% recommend - 11/10!! Thanks Andrew!!

We couldn’t rate Chef Andy highly enough, we all had such a great night and he made a special occasion a very special event. He’s extremely professional and organised and he was a pleasure to have. We will definitely use Andrew again for any dinner party events. Thanks Andy!!

Overall amazing experience, we would highly recommend and we will definitely be using Andrew’s services again.
