"Jacqueline surpassed all expectations with a fantastic 10 course tasting menu for my wife as a surprise 30th birthday present. Jacqueline and I created a specific menu in advance with fantastic local ingredients - oysters, lobster, huss, beef and homegrown vegetables. Added to her amazing culinary skills, Jacqueline is also a highly charismatic host and incredibly knowledgeable about her craft."

"Jacqueline made our dinner party a huge success. Great attention to detail, professional but fun personality and the food was delicious.

It was great to enjoy locally but also interesting produce, with such high quality. Both Jacqueline and Sally worked the evening perfectly, methodically with me being able to enjoy. A great team I loved every element and will be in touch again. Lastly, the space used was left in such a clean and tidy way, which made my housekeeper very happy the next day."

"I could not recommend Jacqueline Wise Chefs more highly. Our chef Karleen and waitress were wonderful. The food was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection, clearly using good quality ingredients.

The booking process was easy and clear, and the communication was excellent.

On the evening Karleen and her helper were wonderful with our guests and very flexible to ensure we had the best possible experience. They also left the kitchen totally spotless. I would not hesitate to book through Jacqueline Wise Chefs again- thank you for a wonderful evening"

"Jacqueline and her team catered for 18 people for a birthday celebration at our house on 4 August 2019. Nick, our chef for the day, prepared canapés and a four course sit down lunch, which was excellent. Jacqueline was very helpful from start to finish, helping me decide on a menu, making last minute adaptations for children and dietary requirements, and was both professional and friendly, putting me at ease. I enjoyed the day so much, being able to relax completely, knowing the cooking and service was in good hands. Also, the kitchen was spotless when Nick and his team left. I would strongly recommend Jacqueline Wise Chefs as they will make your day truly enjoyable."

"Hello Jacqueline and Team, Just to let you know we had a wonderful party! Our chef and assistant were both great, and became part of the party with their friendliness and efficiency. Everyone agreed it was a real pleasure having them with us. The food was fantastic and plentiful - loved the crab tartlets! Please pass my thanks again to both of them! Very best regards, and I will definitely get in touch again."

"It was an absolute delight to welcome you and your team into our house for our celebration. Consummately professional, while being open and engaging in all aspects of the evening. I could not have wished for better service. The food was amazing, especially considering the varied diets (expected and unexpected!) with which you had to cope. I don’t know what went on behind the scenes, but the end product was way beyond what I had hoped for. Thank you so much for that! 

"You were very generous to cater for us yourself, given that that evening was the broadcast of your appearance on Masterchef - The Professionals”. We were honoured that you took the time to cater for us when you could easily have sent someone else. It speaks volumes about your dedication and professionalism that you came to us that night.
The food you produced in our kitchen was first-class, and has received hugely favourable comments from everyone. The attention to detail was exemplary. We all had such a good evening, thanks to you. I cannot imagine anybody being able to improve on what you achieved for us. Thank you once more."

"We would not hesitate in highly recommending Jacqueline's services. Her friendly, knowledgeable staff took all the stress away from minute one for our staff team event, and were very sensitive to bringing the event in on budget. The food was amazing, lovely and fresh and was very well received by all. Our special dietary requirements were also taken care of with a great deal of thought too. Have no doubt, we’ll be back."

"Thank you so much to you for making my birthday lunch such a memorable event. Everyone thought the food was delicious and were impressed by its quality and the smooth service. I don't think there was a single plate that wasn't cleared. It was lovely for me to be in the middle of everything instead of doing trips in and out of the kitchen."

"Just coming back down to earth, i.e. cooked Sunday roast – I think I could get used to having a resident chef! Well, only if he/she was as good at cooking and as pleasant as you and your team! Just wanted to thank you for making our family celebration so special - the food was absolutely delicious and so beautifully presented. We shall certainly pass on your details to friends."

"Having been let down at the last minute by another chef Jacqueline stepped in and saved the day. The food was excellent as was the service and my mum thoroughly enjoyed her 80th birthday. I would without doubt highly recommend her and am now trying to think of another occasion when I can re-book !! Once again many thanks."
