Guest Reviews
“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”

“You’re here to see if you should hire Kriss. My answer: absolutely. From start to finish, he made our event a delight. Every bite was a joy, and he flawlessly accommodated vegans and food allergies without compromising the menu. Friendly, professional, and meticulous, he even left the kitchen cleaner than he found it. Kriss turned an important family gathering into something truly special. Highest recommendation.”

“Kriss is a true talent. Apart from being a very helpful and kind human, he is an INCREDIBLE chef.
I had a family event of 14 people and he accommodated several dietary restrictions with ease. Every single person said it was one of the best meals they’ve had in years.
At the last minute I asked if he had a spare table and he saved the day by bringing his own table to the event. This helped our whole group sit together.
The food was 🤌🏻. I cannot rave enough. Every dish was OUTSTANDING (and there were a lot of them.) If you want a beautiful meal with a hard working and kind chef, book Kriss. You won’t regret it.”
