Book these guys for any event you have got coming

Gourmet Chef looked after us for our wedding just over a week ago and we could not be happier with everything. Justin and Caroline looked after us from when we first went to their offices to try some options and we had nothing to worry about from that moment on. The food itself was great and I'm not sure we have had anything from our wedding praised by our guests as much as the pizza's in the evening. Book these guys for any event you have got coming up especially if its a wedding! Thank you...

Everything was beyond perfect

Dear Caroline and the team at Gourmet Chef What can I honestly say, other than a MASSIVE THANK YOU! Everything was beyond perfect when it comes down to the food we were served on 8th June, and this was further complemented by the fantastic staff working that day. Truly it was spot on, we've received multiple compliments from guests over the quality and just how good it all tasted. Best day of our lives and I'm pleased the team at Gourmet Chef were part of it! Just Perfect x. Thank you again.

I can not praise The Gourmet Chef enough

I can not praise The Gourmet Chef enough for catering on our big day. The communication and attention to detail was excellent and they really did take care of everything. The staff were so fantastic and kept the party going at our free bar until the very end. Highly recommend and will be using them again for all our other big parties. Everyone thought the food was incredible and the elected chefs from the wedding party was very good comedy value. Pizza horse box was also an epic hit...

Everything was perfect on the day.

WOW.... what can I say, what an absolutely amazing professional service we were provided. From our first conversation on the telephone to Caroline we both felt happy that she understood what we wanted for our wedding breakfast. We arranged to meet Justin for a tasting session and were completely blown away by the food he prepared for us. We are both vegetarians and not at any point was this every an issue. Caroline was very relaxed on our last call prior to the wedding...

The food was delicious!

We had the Gourmet Chef cater our wedding in October 2021. We were blown away by the service and impeccable food. We had a cherry if canapés. We had the farmhouse platter to start, gourmet chef style roast, and chocolate cup and sticky toffee pudding. We also had the pizza oven for our evening food. The food was delicious! All our guests commented on how lovely the food was, especially the beef. We opted for the gourmet chef style roast so we could nominate a guest from each table to carve...

the wedding was terrific

The weather was torrential but the wedding was terrific at Selden Barns-Idyllic Countryside Venue yesterday for Sara & Dean Kirk with gorgeous stationery by Elegant Stationary and gorgeous food by The Gourmet Chef. The Pink Waiters had a standing ovation and we can't wait to see the pics! A big thank you to Freya, Andy & Caroline for looking after us!

catered for all dietary requirements really well

The Gourmet Chef did an amazing job of our wedding day, we opted for paella (chicken and chorizo / vegetable) and all of the guests loved it. Caroline was really helpful in the lead up, and made sure everything ran smoothly by paying attention to the details of the day. They catered for all dietary requirements really well (vegan, vegetarian, gluten free & nut allergy) and it was nice that the main meal options catered for all of those. The brownies for pudding were delicious too!...
