Stanley was amazing! He was personable and the food was 11/10. Every dish was just as amazing as the last. We will definitely be using him again! He left the kitchen clean and we didn’t even lift a finger.

Private at home chef

I hired Stanley for a romantic dinner as a birthday dinner for my parents. They were absolutely amazed with his impeccable food and 5 star service. He went above and beyond! Listed below are their final comments. ‘Wow! Thank you Stanley for an amazing experience!! We felt like a King & Queen being waited on with the most exquisitely presented and delicious world class cuisine. A feast for the eyes, palate and the soul. Stanley gave us an amazing experience that we will hold with us forever.’ If you are contemplating working with Stanley, you will not regret it. His presentation was flawless, the food was mouth watering and memorable. Last thing I’d like to mention is when you’re working with Stanley - he approaches any obstacle you might encounter with a ‘how can we fix this’ attitude. I highly recommend working with Stanley. - Dom

Hello! I’m looking to organise a special at-home dining experience to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday. We’re particularly interested in a degustation-style menu, but we’re also open to a more traditional three-course meal if that suits your offerings better. Just a note that I’m currently pregnant, so there are some dietary restrictions to consider. My budget is around $150 per person. Looking forward to hearing what you can offer! Warm regards, Josephine
