"We use Jacqueline Wise Chefs for a number of large family dinners. Great service from start to finish of the process.  The food is always delicious and the private chef's waiting staff, a delight. 
Better food than we have had at any restaurant and so much more personal, plus also more cost effective!
We especially loved the dauphinoise potatoes and the gluten free options; thank you.
Would highly recommend. "
"Jacqueline and her team catered our 20th anniversary dinner for 16 people, and it was wonderful from beginning to end. The bespoke  10 course tasting menu took into account both gluten free and fish allergies, but you would never guess there were restrictions- all the courses were brilliantly thought out using local produce, imaginative and absolutely delicious. The team were friendly, extremely slick and professional and left the kitchen pristine when it was over, Every guest commented upon how much they enjoyed the night, and we hope to do it again!"

"I recently attended Foraging & Fire Cookery Day, where we learnt about mindful cooking, foraging, biodynamic farming and cooking on fire. The day was delightful and Jacqueline is a fantastic teacher. Her passion for great food and sustainable local produce really shines through. I'd thoroughly recommend anyone to attend her cookery classes or pop up restaurant events. You'll be hard press to find anyone else with the drive, knowledge and love for the industry. Truly refreshing and delightful atmosphere to be in."
