Mike Fishpen Personal Chef Services Avis 

Mike was awesome, catering to our intimate wedding dinner with our family. Throughout the planning process, he was helpful and responsive. He was quick to adapt to our asks. The dinner itself was incredible! We all agreed it was the BEST steak we had ever had. Martha, who joined to help with dinner service, was also incredibly helpful and made sure everyone was content. Thanks for being a part of our special day!

Mike cooked an amazing meal for my Mum’s 80th. It was far more personal and intimate than going to a restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and Mum said she will treasure the memories of the evening.

What a great evening, made all the more special by Mikes amazing menu and cooking. Also must mention his two assistants Anya and Lydia who helped with the service and made everything run smoothly. Perfect. Can totally recommend and would definitely use again. Steve and Zoe

We have only superlatives to describe the 80th birthday event Mike and his amazing team created for us. His professionalism, presentation of cuisine and flavor profiles are off the charts incredible. We hosted canapé and Champagne for 29 and Mike and his staff did their very best to ensure we were able to be relaxed and enjoy our guests. Everyone was is awe of every delicious bite. We highly recommend this very talented chef.

No shopping, no preparation, no cooking, no serving, no clearing up and a spotlessly clean kitchen left behind - what's not to like?!
Mike was recommended to us by the owner of the house we rented for a family celebration - and it's easy to see why. His six course taster menu was cooked and presented to perfection and seamlessly served and cleared by friendly waitress Liz.
A truly relaxed and memorable evening.

Mike is amazing! We had an incredible food experience with the six-course taster menu to celebrate my mum's 50th birthday. The flavors were outstanding, and Mike's service was exceptional. Couldn't recommend him more!

Fantastic food, would thoroughly recommend having Michael cook for you. He was also great company and really treated us to the best food ever and made the evening special . Thank you 😁

Mike is a fantastic chef - we booked him for a dinner party in the Cotswolds and the food was fantastic and presented in an incredible way. Mike and the waitress were professional, on time and left the kitchen spotless. Mike explained each course of the menu and our waitress Martha ensured we were well looked after. Will definitely book again!

A rare family get-together was greatly enhanced by engaging Mikes services for a special Saturday dinner
Never having booked a private chef before and bring slightly nervous, his engaging and dry manner led to a food choice that appealed to all ages.
He turned up on time, made do with the holiday lets kitchen vagaries and crested a fabulous 4 course meal. He engaged with us all and explained each course with appeal and eager anticipation
We had a fabulous experience and one with Mike I’d recommend whole heartedly

Lively, energetic and charismatic chef that delivered great food.

My family and I went on a short break to Burton-on-the-water and whilst we were there it was my mums birthday. As a surprise, rather than heading out to a restaurant for dinner we hired private chef Mike Fishpen to cook for us. We went with the six course menu as detailed on his website and each course was delicious and packed full of flavour. Mike took the time to present and explain each course as it was served.
Mike was very friendly, quick to respond with my enquiries and questions, and I would definitely hire him to cook for us again.
We also opted to have a waitress for the evening, which allowed us to sit back, relax and enjoy the dinner as our drinks were served to us and the clearing up at the end of the night was done for us.
It was a very high quality restaurant dinner in the comfort of our holiday cottage, I highly recommend hiring Mike for any occasion.

Winning a 6-course dinner through a charity auction gave us the opportunity to have a private chef cook in our own home.
Mike didn't disappoint and really made the evening go well, along with the support of Carol to serve the meal, drinks and wash up !
Well recommended...

Great chef, definitely recommend and will use again. His steak was incredible- worth the supplement. Very easy to work with too.

Excellent food, very good service and a very professional yet friendly feel to the evening.

Wonderful food and service with a relaxed atmosphere. Already rebooked Michael for next year.

Michael's services came to us through a charity auction offering the opportunity of private chef to cook for a dinner party in your own home. The dinner for 12 did not disappoint at all and I would strongly recommend taking the offer of a waitress to help.
The whole evening was such a success and I cannot thank Michael enough for his fantastic cooking, his representation and professionalism. Will happily recommend him to our friends.

Excellent food, wonderful experience Michael came and explained each course to us. All the food was cooked to perfection, the waitress was very attentive and kept wine and water flowing all evening.
Great team which made our celebration very memorable.

Excellent food, and Mike catered for our particular dietary needs very well. We enjoyed engaging with Mike throughout the evening. We're repeat customers for a reason!

We hired Mike for an 8 course menu for my father-in-laws 60th birthday celebrations. We were staying in the Cotswolds for a few days and found Mike after searching online, throughout the whole process Mike was super responsive to all our questions and queries and helped us to personalise the menu for our group. On the day of the meal Mike arrived and set everything up with the lovely Anja looking after us with drinks and canapés. Every single course was absolutely stunning and we were still talking about how good the food was days later!

We wouldn't hesitate to book Mike again and will be recommending him to anybody looking for a private chef for a special occasion.

Mike stepped in last minute (due to a cancellation) to save the day and help create a wonderful New Year’s Eve menu for 10 of us. The food was faultless from the canapés to dessert; the scallops and filet were incredible. The waitress laid the table beautifully and was very attentive, constantly offering and pouring drinks. Mike described each dish when served and left everything spotless. Nobody had to lift a finger. A wonderful and memorable evening was created and we could not recommend Mike highly enough.
