We hired Gourmet Chef for my sister’s 25th wedding anniversary. Chef Dana and server Ashley were absolutely phenomenal. They came early to ensure they had the meals prepped well in advance. We had initially planned on having the party in the backyard but it rained all day. They showed tremendous flexibility as we changed our plans on the fly. We decided to have appetizers inside but dinner outside under our pavilion while it still rained. They used an umbrella to transport our meal back and forth with not a complaint and a smile at all times. All my guests have asked for their contact info and plan to use them at their next party. Our party was a resounding success thanks to Gourmet Chef More...

Our downtown Stratford office team invited GCAYT to cater a team lunch for us with a Mexican/tacos theme. It wasn't part of their usual fare, but they quickly came up with a great menu tailored to our small group (seven people). The service, delivery, and setup/takedown were impeccable. They were flexible with payment options and delivery timing. But honestly, the food was the high point of our team's taco lunch. It was delicious, and the ingredients were fresh and creative. They brought just the right amount, and everything stayed hot. The team gives them a unanimous "thumbs up" and would rehire them again. Way to go Chefs AYT team! Bonus: We were happy to support a local, small business. More...

The day of the event everything was fantastic, the setup help, the food and service was on point! the communication between administration and the chef team not so great. The communication in general to organize prior to the event could definitely be improved and was the only part of the planning that was inconvenient but the chef sure made up for it upon arrival!

We recently hired Gourmet Chef at Your Table to run our bar for the inaugural Friday night opening of the Stratford Art Market at Factory 163, and the experience was truly wonderful. We connected with Bob on short notice, coming to them with a somewhat unique setup, and from the very beginning, he and his team were incredibly professional, open, and adaptable. There was a real sense of ease from start to finish. Even with last-minute adjustments, everything was handled smoothly and without hesitation, making the entire process so easy on our end. We wanted a simple, welcoming “sip and shop” atmosphere, and they elevated it beautifully with thoughtful touches. They brought everything needed — glassware, drinks, food — and managed setup and breakdown seamlessly, allowing us to fully focus on the event and our guests. As a small-town, community-focused art market, it meant a lot to work with a local team who genuinely supported the spirit of the event and helped make our very first Friday night opening so special. We’re incredibly grateful and would happily work with them again for future events. Thank you to Bob, Meghan, and the team. Courtney & Laura More...

Gourmet Chef catered our daughter’s outdoor cottage wedding for 100 this past weekend. Bob and his incredible team of chefs, servers and bartenders were outstanding in every way. They came highly recommended by our planner and they exceeded all our expectations. Cocktail hour and dinner service was all passed hors d’oeuvres. The hot food was piping hot and the chefs and servers kept the food flowing! A few favourite items were the macaroni and cheese bites w caramelized onions, pulled pork poutine, and hot honey sliders! They even brought out a plate of plain mini pancakes for the grandkids. All allergies and special requests were handled w ease. We can’t thank Gourmet Chef enough for their important contribution to our family’s very special day. More...

Great experience and fantastic food. Bob arrived promptly and set up everything to cook and serve our food. The charcuterie the 6 of us shared was beautifully arranged and meats, cheeses and breads were delicious. We chose Caesar salad and chicken Provençal as our starter and main courses. You must taste these foods to believe how flavourful they were!! Each course was beautifully plated and served to us at the table, followed by a description of what we were about to eat. I can’t remember when I’ve had such a great meal!! On top of this, Bob shared tips and tricks for cooking during the entire experience. And very useful tips they were. And…he cleaned up the whole kitchen, dishes and all so all we had to do was relax after dinner. Awesome!! It was a most enjoyable experience. We will definitely be doing this again. Thank you Bob and Gourmet Chef at your Table for everything!! More...

We provided some of the food for the event ourselves with a few different charcuterie boards that complimented the food served by Gourmet Chef.

We recently hosted a house party for my wife’s birthday, inviting around 40 guests. Our vision was an informal but sort of sophisticated gathering—all without the hassle of running our own kitchen. Enter “Gourmet Chef at Your Table,” the answer to all of our culinary needs. From the initial consultation two months prior to the big day through to the final cleanup, the entire experience was blissfully stress-free. Their team brought everything they needed, seamlessly integrating into our cozy kitchen. The two chefs and three servers were not only impeccably dressed but also polite, cheerful, efficient, and impressively professional. Our menu? A delectable array of delights: Spicy Marinated Shrimp, Crispy Arancini Balls, Korean BBQ Steak Shots (a HUGE crowd-pleaser!), Warm Mac & Cheese Pops, Pork Tacos, and Mini-Burger Sliders (another hit!). The dishes were served effortlessly over two hours, with napkins being the only necessity for our guests. They even crafted a special vegan menu for two of our guest, ensuring everyone felt included. The event was a resounding success, and to top it all off, the catering team left our kitchen spotless and on time.

What’s your signature dish?
Grilled Beef Tenderloin.
Our 6 oz filet of beef tenderloin is sealed with our signature dry rub atop sunflower pesto fingerling potatoes, thyme infused field mushrooms, lemon Parmigiano Reggiano asparagus, red pepper coulis, red wine caper vinaigrette, and baby radish sprouts. Big, bold flavours makes this dish our favourite.
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
We create the perfect menu for our clients by listening to what they need. Based on budget, type of cuisine and guests in attendance we create custom menus for every client. Some of our greatest reviews have come from those who've simply said, "we want to be wowed!" Word of mouth has always been the foundation of our company so we take the time to make everything right, the first time.
What do you love most about your job?
What I love the most about being a chef is knowing what we did that day made a difference. Family celebrations, festive occasions and special events are times when everyone comes together around great company and great food. I aways feel a real sense of pride and accomplishment when I look back at how we contributed to a special memory in time for our clients.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've always had an entrepreneurial/creative side to me and a desire to express myself. This is why I chose to train at the prestigious Stratford Chefs School back in 2004. Putting myself on a plate is a humbling experience. I'm always amazed at the reviews that come soon after. I'm probably my hardest critic which is why I'm always searching new ways to improve and build upon my skillset and flavour profiles in the kitchen. Running a successful catering company and being a dad of 5 is fun to me. I can't imagine doing anything else.
Why should our clients choose you?
I chose to become a chef many years ago because I wanted to help others celebrate meaningful times in life. Food is often celebrated with timely events which is why I specifically chose catering. I'm passionate about enhancing life's memories though great food.
