It was such a special night. Sunitha was very attentive and the food was great. We will definitely do it again !

Jayne Davison

Sunitha’s service was incredible. The organisation leading up the event was professional and the food was outstanding. I’d highly recommend Sunitha to anyone looking for a fun evening with great food

Raj Patel

Sunitha was quick to respond and listen to requirements. The suggested menu worked well for a 3 generation party and dealt differing tastes and allergies. She decorated the table beautifully and made the best of the limitations with crockery in the rental house. The food was plentiful and delicious. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Stella Jelliss

Sunitha was brilliant. She was incredibly communicative and collaborative before the meal, and on the night everything was exceptional. Sunitha was not only an excellent chef, but also excellent company. I would highly recommend Sunitha, and we hope to have her to cook again for us in future

charlotte george

Sunitha was great, we had a chat about the event in advance, she made some menu suggestions and we agreed whst I wsnted. We stayed intouch, nothkng for me worry about. She arrived as planned, very professional, engaging and the food was wonderful. She told us about each course and even made my son a turmeric drink as he felt unwell! She came in and just got on with it, no fuss or bother, true professional. It felt Sunitha really wanted us to enjoy our evening, and she certainly helped with that! Would 100% recommend. X
