Stanley was fantastic! He was punctual, polite and skilled. Every dish tasted great and he gave us more than was promised. Table and kitchen were left spotless. Would certainly recommend to anyone looking for a special meal and will be using again in future. Thanks Stan!

Private Chef - Newport

$750

An absolutely brilliant night - never done this before and was rather sceptical but Stanley was amazingly patient with me and helped me through it all. My husband and I, plus our guests for my 50th dinner thoroughly enjoyed it and we can’t rate Stanley highly enough. We will definitely RE-book him again. Thank you. Food and Service first class!
