The atmosphere was warm and relaxed, and the food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. It made the evening special, and we highly recommend him!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alpay has been doing my weekly meal prep for a while now and I can't recommend him enough. He's genuinely lovely to deal with and really takes the time to understand my food preferences. Nothing is ever too much trouble. The food is consistently delicious, and his menu is so vast that I never get bored. He's also completely reliable, always on time and always delivering exactly what was agreed. If you're in Leicester and looking for a personal chef, Alpay is the one.

The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and the service was fantastic, with personal menus created. It added a lovely touch of luxury to our weekend, allowing us to relax, enjoy great food, and spend quality time together. Highly recommend for a girls’ getaway or special occasion! 💕🥂

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We're lucky enough to hire Alpay to cater my mum's 70th birthday (14 adults). The food was delicious and Alpay kept everything running on time (despite not having his planned for extra pair of hands due to unforeseen circumstances).

Alpay was accommodating with menu changes in the lead up to the event and was such a lovely person it was so nice to have him as part of our event.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chef Alpay organised a  3 course menu with canapés for a birthday celebration which was absolutely delicious. Alpay and Sophie were faultless throughout organising us with timings, service, and of course leaving the kitchen without a trace. This all made a for a special experience and allowed us all to relax and enjoy the day.

I would hesitate to recommend Chef Alpay, prompt responses allow you to organise your celebration with ease and superb culinary delights. Thank you to you both.

Chef Alpay was amazing, the food was spectacular, the communication was excellent and he delivered so much more than we could have hoped. Chef Alpay did the food for our wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding meal, everyone was blown away and it really added to our special day. Couldn't recommend him highly enough - thank you Chef Alpay
