Nina, thank you for Saturday night, the food was the best I have ever tasted. All 22 guests wears so complimentary about everything that you created. The meat was cooked to perfection and I have never tasted Apple Tart like it, utterly delicious! From initial contact a year before you have been so wonderful deal with. The extra attention detail like the beautiful flowers and candles was appreciated. I will recommend you to anyone in the area in the future.
I wanted to take the time to thank you and Sarah very much for a superb meal on Saturday evening. You were both super friendly, the food was delicious and beautifully presented. Everybody has told my wife and I how much they enjoyed the food. I particularly enjoyed the pudding and hadn't had that before. Thank you also for saving the day and nipping home for the champagne glasses!
To celebrate husband’s birthday we had the pleasure of Nina cooking for our party of 12 at a rented holiday home. As soon as I reached out to Nina she was professional, but also helpful with menu options, ideas and timings. She was happy to travel some 60 miles too and contacted us to check if we needed tableware etc being in a holiday rental. Nothing was too much trouble, and despite the oven issues she continued to smile. A truly lovely lady. Looking forward to another reason for Nina to cook for us.
I was one of twelve guests at a private birthday dinner so no mean feat. Our four course meal was the equivalent of a 5* restaurant. Bearing in mind she had to transport so much food, some prepped and some not, it was amazing. Beautifully presented and delicious to eat. The hostess went to the kitchen to offer help to clear but it was already spotless. To cap it all Nina was such a lovely lady with a permanent smile for everyone. Well done Nina I hope I have the pleasure of eating your food again
Yet again, another sensational meal prepared and served up by Nina for our Mum's 70th birthday family celebration. We first 'discovered' Nina 10 years ago when she catered for our Mum's 60th and have now had the pleasure of having her cater for us a number of times over the years. Everything about Nina's hospitality is outstanding, it feels like we are welcoming back a friend who we want to have sitting at the dinner table with us. Unfortunately, we can't as she is busy creating the most delicious, incredible food (the ceviche is beyond outstanding!). I cannot recommend Nina enough and we are already looking forward to thinking about the next celebration we can organise so that we can invite her back to cater for us again!
Nina was lovely. She dressed the table and her food was exceptional. Cooked to perfection and presented beautifully. She made the evening special. So glad we made the decision to ask her to cater.

Nina catered for 7 of us at a birthday celebration. Communication during the planning stage was excellent with all options explained. The food on the evening was exceptional, everyone in the group were seriously impressed. I would highly recommend Nina - you will not be disappointed!
Nina catered for my Mum’s 80th birthday. Everything from the booking right through to dessert was perfect. Nina and Alicia decorated the table beautifully and we were then served canapés just before our wonderful starters the Prawn cocktail was something else with lobster, smoked salmon and king Prawn. Everything was beautifully cooked and presented has if you were dining in a top tier restaurant but with a personal touch. We all said the dinner was great value for money. Nina thank you for making our Mums 80th birthday dinner such a special occasion. All the best and hopefully we can sample your culinary skills again. Allan
Nina cooked an absolutely delicious meal for a private party to celebrate my 60th birthday. The food was superb especially the fish cakes and also the steaks which were cooked to perfection. Nina was also fantastic interacting with the guests and explaining the various dishes. I’d wavered somewhat on having a private chef but this experience was top notch to the extend that everyone asked for Nina’s number afterwards. I highly recommend her!
Nina cooked a very special birthday meal for seven of us, plus one young granddaughter. The food was superb. Nina was so efficient. She just fitted in to the kitchen and got on with the cooking. The whole evening was absolutely delightful, from start to finish. It was such a pleasure to be able to stay at home and have some delicious food, instead of having to drive somewhere. We would have no hesitation in booking Nina again.
We leave outside the UK and were looking for a private chef for a special occasion. We came across Nina’s website and the menu looked so good with a emphasis on local produce which we liked. Prior to the day, the communication with Nina was prompt, simple and super friendly. She was also very accommodating to guests’ special dietary requirements. On the day, Nina came super organised. She set the table and brought flowers which was such a great touch and in kitchen she had time for a chit chat while doing the prep. The meal was absolutely delicious… and the kitchen was spotless when Nina left. Overall an amazing experience which I would highly recommend. Thank you, Nina for making the day extra special.
I had a wonderful experience communicating with Nina, and I'm incredibly grateful for her creativity and dedication to bringing ideas to life! I can't wait to use her for my next occasion, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking high-quality ingredients, presentation and astounding professionalism. Nina, thank you again from the bottom of my heart for playing such a crucial role in our wedding/birthday celebrations and wishing you all the best!
Nina prepared a delicious meal for 15 of us in May 2025. Fantastic plump Brixham scallops and perfectly pink racks of lamb for most. We started with canapés on the lawn (sea bass ceviche was memorable) and finished up with properly made French desserts- a tatin of pineapple and crème brûlée. Everybody was impresses and all plates were emptied. The service from Lucy was friendly and efficient.

Nina our chef for the night for a surpise celebration meal for family while on holiday near Shaldon. The food was amazing and, as Nina recommended, possibly the best fillet steak we have had. The meal was wonderful and Nina prepared and delivered it in a manner that made the evening very special and memorable for all of us. Also, the Tarte Tatin was just incredible. Thank you Nina!!!
We hired a house near Dartmouth for a joint 21st/silver anniversary and got in contact Nina to arrange a dinner at the house rather than going to a restaurant. From the beginning of the process to the actual night, Nina was so friendly, communication was excellent. The food was scrummy, the canapés to start were served by Nina, she also served the champagne. We then moved onto the dining room where she sets the table with candles and flowers which was a lovely touch and the food was excellent, it was all served in a timely manner and each course was delicious. After she left we went into the kitchen and it was spotless. Would have no hesitation in recommending Nina.
