"Some of the best food I've eaten, highly recommend to others"
Our chef was completely professional and made the evening a huge success. He encouraged feedback and participation from my guests, as well as preparing a fantastic meal and retaining discretion. I also found working with Chef’s Compliments a good experience, nothing was too difficult and response by phone and email was always punctual and professional.
