25 November 2025

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.

23 September 2025

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.

Wow! Thank you john and jo so so so much!! The food tasted amazing! The service was amazing too. John and jo were so polite and friendly. 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.

8 September 2025

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...

8 September 2025

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...

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 !

29 August 2025

Just completed an excellent meat and poultry course with John. Extremely impressed with the range of skills and dishes covered. Highly recommended.

5 August 2025

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...

Really friendly and helpful t am but most of all fabulous cooking.

5 July 2025

Our experience with John from start to finish was seamless. John hosted a bbq for our daughter’s birthday party, feeding 50 adults and catering for children too. The burger station and chimichurri steaks were amongst the favourites with the guests but everything was delicious. John brought everything he needed, including a bbq and brought some very professional staff who helped to serve food and drinks. We were delighted with how the event went and all the guests commented on how fabulous the food was. We would not hesitate to use John and his team again. John even bought our daughter a birthday present which was a lovely touch and really appreciated. We look forward to having John cater for us again soon. More...

John was fantastic, I booked John for a company bbq covering 50 people. We spoke multiple times about the menu which ended up being far better than I could have asked for. John was able to cater to all our dietary requirements without a single complaint it was absolutely amazing. The food was brilliant I went back 4 times to fill my plate he made a massive spread of salads burgers, sausages and 3 different types of chicken I whole heartedly recommend booking John for your catering needs best choice I have made for a caterer ever More...

Cannot rate John highly enough. If you don’t book him, you’re missing out. Top quality food in terms of both taste and presentation and a genuinely charming, kind person you’ll enjoy having around.

John catered a funeral for us and throughout our correspondence he was so kind and thoughtful. He was so accommodating and approachable throughout- once the menu was agreed we didn’t have to worry about a thing- he took care of everything. But without a doubt, the best part was the variety and quality of his food. I’m going to have to invent an occasion so John can cater for us again. I cannot recommend him more highly. A hidden gem! More...

John supplied the catering for our reception and his organisation was brilliant. He offered us all kinds of variations for food and was extremely flexible even for people who needed gluten free options. The quality of his food was superb and most importantly there was lots of it. He was very friendly, sensitive and helpful throughout. I would thoroughly recommend him. More...

Jon ran the BBQ at our Sports Festival and did an amazing job keeping the queues moving and ensuring the hundreds of kids and families were fed on the day. He turned up early and prepped and ensured at the end of the day everything was cleaned up. Thank you so much Jon, hopefully you are available next year to come back and cater for us. More...

John and team were very professional to work with. They created a delicious curry meal in a compact kitchen for 120+ people and served it on time and in a timely manner. No easy feat on a Friday night in a rugby club with the beer flowing! Really well done on their part 👏👏 More...

This was our third time using John. This was a very different event but he was super flexible. The number of people who commented on the quality of the food.

The thing I love about him is that he always looks for a solution in terms of specification, price and food. I don't want him to get too popular or I won't be able to book him myself again!
