Great night. Heather and the team were lifesavers when we needed a chef experience at home. Delicious 3 course meal discussed and agreed upfront, table service and dishes washed up and put away. We had a lovely night and would happily recommend Heather and look forward to the next occasion.

Hi there I will be hosting an ANZAC day lunch on the 25th of April from 1.00pm and would like a private chef to compose and cook a menu (or a high-tea) for 6 pax. Would like three courses, or a fancy cocktail high-tea depending on the suggested menu. The suggested budget should include all labour and ingredients and everything can be done in our (small) kitchen, or prepped offsite and brought in and heated onsite. We have a 4 burner gas fan forced oven (the oven gets quite hot), plus a microwave and Air Fryer. Can provide most cooking utensils if needed as well as a magic bullet, all cutlery, plates and serving dishes - though you may want to do a site visit prior to the actual date to check what we have. Please feel free to ask any questions. Thanks.
