I bave asked John to cater/be the private chef at two events for me now. Firstly, he is kind, professional and reliable. Secondly the food is divine and everyone on both occasions raved about the food ! He has also been able to make quite different types of food so he doesnt just do one type of cuisine but can really do most things ! Highly recommend him More...

This is the second year we have used john for our company summer BBQ and each time he has done an amazing job. He is extremely professional and works very hard to make sure everyone’s individual needs are catered for. We have roughly 50 people with ranging dietary requirements and he made it effortless. We will definitely be asking John to come back next year and for any other events we decide to do. I couldn’t recommend him more. More...

All I can say is “wow”. It was my Dad’s 80th and 4 generations wanted to do something super special and memorable. So glad that we found John. What a talent and such a lovely man. He gave us exactly what we asked for and it was an absolute joy to have him share this most special evening. Low key and the consummate professional, I genuinely couldn’t have asked for anything more. We have all woken up today feeling happy and grateful. Hooray. Will we use John again? Well, all I can say is that I would be absolutely mental not to. Big love John, you’re fab x More...

John cooked a pre Christmas dinner for a festive dinner party with friends. All of the steaks were cooked to perfection and the sides and profiteroles were delicious. Thanks for cooking another lovely meal for us! More...

Imaginative food, thoughtfully presented and utterly delicious.

I attended a strategy day for a client this week and as part of the day, the owner arranged lunch via this company. Food was amazing! So delicious and easy enough to eat standing up whilst we mingled. A great alternative to the standard supermarket sandwiches! More...
Lance Goodson
I used John to make a buffet for a business meeting. John's food was amazing, and a great selection of different foods. All of my staff and guests really enjoyed it and some people took home doggie bags! More...

We recently had the absolute pleasure of having John cook for 10 of us at home. Wow, what can I say…..the food was absolutely incredible and John was great to deal with, both in preparing the menu and then cooking in front of my wife and I and our guests.
We had scallops and lardons to start, then beef wellington with truffle pommes puree with bordelaise sauce, and finished with cream brûlée with a ginger snap. It was as delicious as it sounds.
Jazz worked alongside John and did a great job serving canapés, drinks, food and then discreetly clearing away and leaving the kitchen spotless.
I cannot recommend John enough, and really hope we are lucky enough to have him cook for us again in the future.

Julia
It was fantastic working with John on a recent event I held for my school. He was incredibly flexible, accommodating (even for last-minute requests! ), pleasant, and great to work with - AND everyone there said the food was incredible. (I tried it myself, too, and it really was.) All of the serving staff he brought were excellent as well, and overall I couldn’t be happier. Will definitely ask John to do our next events too! More...
Susan Fine
I have worked with John in two contexts: he was my cookery teacher, and his company has catered in my home. What stands out about him (well, many wonderful things), but what’s particularly noteworthy — his repertoire is huge. He can do a lovely middle eastern dinner, and he can do a vegan feast (or a middle eastern vegan feast). He could also do a traditional English roast or a Thai luncheon, a delicious outdoor barbecue, or Indian canapés. He can likely do anything you want and do it exceptionally well. He’s also kind and funny and easy to work with. His team was wonderfully professional and left my kitchen spotless. They, too, were warm and kind and excellent w everything. Want a wonderful party AND be able to fully enjoy the food and the guests without any worries? Hire John and his team. More...

Edward Flynn
Once again John and his staff done an amazing job with catering for our Barnet Elizabethans RFC quiz night and serving up a beautiful meal with more than enough extra helpings for everyone that again has me (as social secretary) receiving an unbelievable feedback for a great night that would not happen without having such a service and food that John provides.

John is clearly a very talented chef who caters for so many varying tastes.
The food he produces is nothing but exceptional, pairing flavours with foods that produce an amazing culinary experience.

John catered for our party of 13 at extremely short notice when our first booking fell through. He was fantastic.... he kept to the original menu choices which made our lives so much easier, was friendly, organised and an absolute pleasure to meet.
He had a lady with him, sorry don't know her name who served us, cleated the table and got fully involved taking photos etc. They cleaned up the kitchen including the oven, meaning we literally had nothing to do. It really was like being in a 5* restaurant without other annoying customers. I would highly recommend Chef John for your catering needs.
Thankuou for making our evening so special.

I cannot thank john enough for stepping in last minute after we were let down (I wish we had booked john originally!). The food was presented really well. They left the kitchen spotless. John was really quick to respond to messages and dealt with all dietary requirements. Thank you so much!! More...

John was the chef at a wedding I attended. Did an amazing BBQ the food was delicious. Everything was well organised. I’m very fuzzy and I couldn’t recommend more highly.
Jade Bogue
I was recently lucky enough to be served John’s food at a recent wedding. The meat was perfectly seasoned and cooked, all the salads and other accompaniments were delicious and could have stood up on their own as a whole meal. Usually wedding fare is pretty standard/boring, this was anything but. I wish I could eat it all again. More...
Siobhan proudfoot
John catered our wedding. He was so easy to work with and the food was outstanding. Three-bean chilli starter (served on a farm); steak, chicken and pork bbq with ALL the sides and Key Lime Pie for dessert. It was truly fantastic and would not hesitate to use John again. Thanks so much! More...
Robert Davidson
John is a great chef giving training on many meat products - especially on how to de-bone a whole chicken. The beef was melt-in-the-mouth beautiful, chicken liver pate really top notch and duck a’la orange totally sumptuous!! Then we ate 8 different things !
Jane Cresswell
Just completed an excellent meat and poultry course with John. Extremely impressed with the range of skills and dishes covered. Highly recommended.
Lara Innes
We have now used John for two milestone events - my 21st birthday and now my wedding - and he has been absolutely fantastic both times. For our wedding in June, the canapés were absolutely delicious and the main meal of lamb and salads was perfect. Even despite extremely hot weather and electrics challenges, John was amazing throughout and made our day so perfect. We could not recommend him more! More...

I could not recommend John highly enough. More...
