“We had Kriss cook for my mum’s 60th birthday and it was the most wonderful experience for the whole family.
From the start, Kriss made everything feel so special – he took the time to understand what my mum loves and created an incredible menu of tapas dishes and desserts tailored perfectly to her favourites. Every plate was packed with flavour and made with the best local Cornish ingredients.
The attention to detail was just amazing, and the trifle cheesecake in particular will definitely be talked about in our family for years to come!
Beyond the food, Kriss is such a genuinely friendly and thoughtful person, and it was a joy to have him in our home to celebrate such an important milestone with us.
For the quality of the food, the experience and the care he puts into making it so personal, it’s unbelievable value. We’d book Kriss again in a heartbeat and can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a truly special private dining experience”
