Chef Santiago prepared a delicious meal of tapas and paella for our hen party. He worked well in a fairly small kitchen for the group size and prepared additional veggie tapas for our group. The kitchen was spotless by the end of the evening! Thank you.

We had the best night with Santiago. The food was delicious and beautifully prepared/presented. Everything felt really special. Santiago is also very engaging and clearly passionate about his craft — thank you so much Santiago.
We had a lovely experience with Chef Santiago. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the starters, and everything was served hot, fresh, and right on time. He catered confidently to multiple dietary requirements, including halal and pescatarian options, which made the evening completely stress-free. The service was seamless from start to finish and really elevated a special family celebration. Highly recommended.
Santiago was incredible! So accommodating from the beginning, and had great communication in the lead up to the event. The Italian menu was amazing and was loved by every guest! The private chef experience made the hen weekend, the food was incredible. Thank you again Santiago for making my best friend's hen weekend so memorable!!
