Private cooking classes

"It was brilliant, your guys did a fantastic job and the food was fantastic, the best bit was the kitchen, looked like a new pin when they had finished. A big pat on the back all round I think."

"It gives us precious time together, at the end of the day, no shopping, no cooking, no cleaning!. For us it's a refreshing break. We can afford the cost, it's about the same as people are spending on an evening in a restaurant but without the hassle."

"Hi Galor, I had to write to let you know that Birdie was absolutely brilliant yesterday!!! I could not have been happier.Many thanks."

"Thank you so much for the wonderful Chef Services that you provided. We are enjoying amazing weekly meals and the kids are delighted that they are getting involved with the weekly menu planning of the chef. As a family we now have time to share our days stories together around the table. As a busy mother this has been the perfect solution for my busy schedule. Thanks Galor."

"The food was brilliant! Our friends were all raving about it. A number of people at our parties have asked where we get the chefs from and I have given them your contact details. One of them was going to contact you about catering for a larger event. Our next one will be in April. I will contact you once I have a date."

"Thanks so much for last night, we had a fantastic experience and Sunil couldn't have been happier, he loved it! The food was outstanding."

"Last night was great - Justin made the best Creme Brulee I have ever had, along with unique takes on foie gras, french onion soup and amazing mashed potatoes! It was an excellent experience. It was also a pleasure to deal with your agency, and I hope to do it again soon."

Galor, thank you so much for providing such a great service. Must admit was a bit of a daunting prospect arranging a surprise 50th celebration and the responsibility of finding a chef! However, you provided professional advice and assistance when arranging, and your chef recommendations were great. Ben did a fabulous meal for us, cooked to perfection and handled 8 middle aged women with ease. The quality of the food was fabulous and the kitchen cleared up and all we had to do was enjoy our evening. Thanks for making our surprise celebrations go with such ease. Look forward to working with you again.

"Galor provided me with an excellent level of service, they have very friendly staff who helped me throughout the entire process. My personal chef made my birthday possible, his food and services was outstanding  I could not fault him. my experiences with Galor was amazing and I will recommend them to everyone out there looking for this particular service. Thank you again Galor."

"Staff were friendly and accommodating to our needs. Quick service and ultimately the recommended chef delivered an interesting session on maximising value out of family shopping, with plenty of practical advice."

"Hi Yuda, just a quick note to thank Steve and Gloria for a wonderful evening. They were both very friendly and very professional. The menu choices made were fantastic and it made it hard to choose from and satisfy 13 people. I have to say the final choice did not disappoint. Gloria worked her socks off all night keeping everyone topped up with food and drink and kept a smile on her face. A lovely lovely evening my wife was lost for words (which is unusual) Thanks again and hope to see you soon."

"Thank you, I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Galor. A direct quote from a note Stephen sent to me - Dinner was perfect. Everything continued extremely well, and everyone went home well fed, and happy. Bill & Ellen were the highlights - brilliant. So, huge thanks and I will certainly know where to come the next time. Please pass on our thanks to Galor."

"We employed our Private Chef from Galor for the month of August. We were 6 adults and 6 children to cook for. I found Tanya to not only to be a fantastic, imaginative and hardworking chef but she contributed far more than just that to our holiday experience. Everybody loved her, her sense of humour and smile are already missed! It is obvious Tanya loves what she does and takes great pride in all aspects of her work. We experienced the most delicious lunches, BBQs and 3 course suppers. For the whole month we only ate out 3 times because Tanya's cooking far outdid the restaurants in our area and there were some top ones nearby. Every night our table was laid out like our own private restaurant with thoughtful touches, it was magical. The food was superb and if we had any special requests Tanya was always happy to oblige. We had a few nights where we had some important people staying and Tanya never disappointed. The starters and mains were of an incredibly high standard and the puddings were light but so tasty, just perfect. We had a house filled with young children and Tanya was amazing with them. Her food for the kids was spot on and she made meal times fun, often helping the nannies to make the children's mealtime more enjoyable. My children adored her. Tanya kept her calm, was never stressed, had a very cheery temperament and got on with everybody. I would highly recommend the service and we would certainly use it again."

"I was extremely impressed with the personal and very efficient service I received from Galor. I asked them to find me a temporary chef to take with us to our home in Spain, as we were having our whole family staying with us. I gave them very little notice. Within one or two days I had received the CV's of two very suitable chefs. I chose the first, and we couldn't have been happier with him. Galor took the trouble to find out from me exactly what I was looking for so that they could best find me the right person. Consequently, our chef was perfect for our requirements.
I would highly recommend Galor; they are friendly, professional and answered almost immediately any queries that I had."

"Thank you so much for the wonderful Chef Services that you provided. We are enjoying amazing weekly meals and the kids are delighted that they are getting involved with the weekly menu planning of the chef. As a family we now have time to share our days stories together around the table. As a busy mother this has been the perfect solution for my busy schedule. Thanks Galor."

"Milan was very professional and pleasant. We worked out the menu together, he sent me a complete of shopping lists and after the dinner shared the recipes for my favourite menu items. It was a great evening."

"Thank you so much to Galor, we were so impressed with the fast response to find a chef for Christmas day at very late notice (November). We were put in touch with Borges who was very friendly, efficient and served us the most delicious Christmas Day Lunch. It was great to not have the stress of shopping for the food and preparing and we were able to enjoy a very restful Christmas Day.I would highly recommend the services of Galor and will definitely use them again."

"We were very happy with both our chefs. We will certainly use your services again and recommend Galor to friends.Kind regards and Happy New Year."

"Simon did a great job!. Thanks so much for arranging everything. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed delicious food."

"Galor’s recommended chef Simon catered and cooked for our September wedding in a private villa on the Greek island of Crete. He also cooked for us, family and friends at our villa during the week... We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From menu planning and procuring the food to the actual day, Simon was super friendly, helpful and professional. He made everything easy and stress-free. Most importantly the food was exceptional and beautifully presented – the most frequent comment on our wedding night from our guests was, “Oh my God, the lamb is amazing!!” we have attended many weddings where the food was nice, but nothing special. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary, I would highly recommend Galor private chef services."

"Just a quick note to say what a great time we had. Kevin was phenomenal. Food delicious and he was very nice to have around."

"Perfect thanks! My only feedback is that Luke was great, dont change anything"

"We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and especially the food! My husband was as pleased with the experience as I had hoped he'd be. Many thanks!."

"Joe was amazing, 100% brilliant. And Vasilia was great as well, so thank you very much indeed for organising it all, we will certainly be coming back to you again in the future. Best wishes"

"Joe was terrific!"

"We were absolutely delighted with Chef Hugh. He brought a very professional, tailored approach to the whole project. He is an exceptionally committed and hard-working person who offered great flexibility throughout. He is very talented and his passion and understanding of food is immediately apparent when working with him.We have had great feedback from external and internal colleagues. Thank you so much for putting us in touch with him for this project – you certainly found us the right chef."

"The food was brilliant! Our friends were all raving about it. A number of people at our parties have asked where we get the chefs from and I have given them your contact details. One of them was going to contact you about catering for a larger event. Our next one will be in April. I will contact you once I have a date."

"We were very pleased with Josh. I can’t say enough good things about him. He was flexible on our changing menu, and always willing to adapt. He was friendly and very professional. We had a wide menu and everything he cooked was wonderful. He was timely on arriving, good company while cooking, and quick and discreet at cleaning up and leaving. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone who asked, and I greatly appreciate the referral you made. Our Christmas dinner was a wonderful event of family and friends, and you helped to make that possible. Thank you."

"Happy New Year! We were absolutely delighted with the food Claudia prepared for us on Christmas day. It was a joy to have her with us and we would definitely be keen to have her cook for us on future occasions. My children return to school tomorrow and we have been out and about the past few days making the most of the end of the holiday.Thank you for organising the perfect chef for us! Best wishes."

"We are very happy with your services and the chef - Borges. He was fantastic. Will definitely be using your services again. Thank you."

"Thank you for a lovely dinner. The food was very memorable and our chefs interaction with us and our guests was very charming. Both chefs also helped above and beyond with the tidy up which is much appreciated this morning on slightly tender heads. Thanks again "

"Thank you. Michael was excellent. The food was perfect and he was happy to talk and explain what he was doing. All my guests commented on the quality. 10 out of 10!

"The chef was friendly and professional, created a real sense of occasion, and the food was delicious!."

"Everything was wonderful and we loved Chef Greg. We will use him again if back in the UK "

"Michael managed each stage of the process with accuracy and creativity, from menu planning to cooking and displaying canapés and bowl food for our 50 guests. We enjoyed liaising with him and, with his experienced support, we were able to give our personal touch to the event. We would certainly

"Many thanks for all your professionalism and making this happen."

"Tanya is an exemplary chef and a pleasure to work with. She was most polite, calm and efficient and her cooking was superb.I'm so pleased with Galor Personal Chef Service, they were able to accommodate a very last minute request for our first wedding anniversary. Based on an impressive CV, I was delighted to find out Tanya was available. I gave her carte blanche for the menu…which turned out to be the best decision as our meal was simply amazing, not to mention Tanya's lovely personality. We've set the bar high on our first wedding anniversary, I don't' know how we'll top it next year!Thank you all for your fabulous service!."

"What a wonderful and thoroughly professional service from Galor! I had the idea of a romantic home cooked meal as an anniversary treat and found galor through a web search. Their website looks very impressive and from the point of contacting Galor the process was smooth and painless..especially useful as I was trying to arrange this whilst working long days during the week. Galor contacted me within a day of my email and I had a discussion on the phone with regards to my requirements. They put in me touch with Steve and sent me his full CV and cost breakdown by email. Steve spoke to me on the phone a few days later and came up with a mouth watering 3 course menu after discussing various options based on our likes and dislikes. On the day Steve arrived punctually and brought all the ingredients ready to prepare the meal in our kitchen. I showed him the basic areas locations of plates and cutlery and he laid the table perfectly for us before serving us a sumptuous 3 course meal which was astounding. He even helped pick out the perfect complimentary wine from our own selection in the house. My wife and I were blown away with this fine dining experience served al fresco in our own garden on a summer evening. Steve's attention to detail in taste and presentation was superb (as expected from his CV). He brought each course to us and removed our plates also as we finished each course. The kitchen was left absolutely spotless and we were both left feeling pampered and relaxed as if we had spent the evening in a spa. An amazing experience from beginning to end and we hope to use this service again!."

"You can be sure that if in the future I need to organise a party like this again, I'll definitely contact you, thank you for everything."

"Everything worked perfectly with Peter, we were very happy with our dinner."

"Chris was a great chef, very nice and made some amazing food which we all loved."

"I just wanted to provide a bit of feedback on our experience with the chef you arranged for our anniversary dinner.  We were delighted with the experience we had with Simon.  He made everything incredibly easy from menu planning, wine selection all the way through to clean-up.  He was very professional and prepared an amazing meal that would rival anything you would find in the top restaurants in London.  We could not be more happy with the service from Galor and look forward to using you guys again."

"We were totally thrilled with Emily and your service. The best part was how totally flexible!!

"I have worked with most of the London agencies, but no one has cared as much as Galor in finding a good fit for my family. Most agencies send a bunch of people and hope one will work out, Galor finds actual candidates qualified for the position you need to fill. Thank you Galor personal chef services."

"Hi Linda I can’t believe it’s been nearly a week since you graced us with your delicious food and contagious energy. I know Stuart already touched base with Yuda but I also wanted to say thank you to you for everything! Our guests (and us) were amazed by the quality and taste of the food. The turkey and potatoes were a massive hit. We also thought you were such a pleasure to have around; a genuinely good person. The whole experience was really special and if we do it again we’d love to have you."

Dear Galor We all wanted to say a big thank you for arranging such amazing staff for our Christmas Day. As always it is a stressful time but they were all so professional and the food was incredible . Sarah the nanny was wonderful and a great help with everything. Butler Damian particularly was amazing a true professional. Please extend our thanks and praise for all they did for us. We will be delighted to recommend your services to all our family and friends. Best wishes for the New Year.

Stephen was absolutely fantastic and the food was amazing. He was an absolute pleasure to have in our home and incredibly professional. I would highly recommend him.

"Dear Galor Our chef was wonderful and fulfilled my expectations with his menu and style. I very much appreciated how quickly the evening was organised after giving such short notice. My husband loved the food. The entire evening was perfect! Well worth it! We will be using your services again. Thank you"

“Hi Galor Another big thank you. We all had a fantastic day and the food was awesome. I asked many people what was their favourite dish, and i got many different responses which is a great testament to the quality of food. Would love to do it again in the near future.”

"I was incredibly impressed with our private chef Yas. The evening itself went off exactly as intended. Food, presentation, and service were top notch. he really went beyond the call of duty in bringing over some extra decorative elements the previous weekend. He went so far as to bring a seasonal tree! Three of the guests were Japanese and they commented that they thought they had been teleported to Kyoto for the evening."

"Highly recommend Galor for your catering needs. The whole process was handled extremely well - communication with everyone here is fantastic. They were very helpful with explaining the full process and costs breakdown - there were no hidden surprises at all. Once I had picked my chef after being a good selected of profiles, communicating with him was very easy. He even gave me a shopping list before so I ordered everything for delivery to my home which made the process even smoother. The food was fantastic and the dinner party was a big success. Overall I would definitely use Galor again."

An exceptional dining experience in our own home and an amazing team. Would highly recommend them. We hired Galor chef, Jason, a sous chef and waitress to cater for a private dinner at our home for 14 close friends for my husband's 40th birthday. I cannot praise them enough. The service leading up to the night was faultless. We spoke to Jason a couple of times to discuss our ideas for the night and he drew up a menu for us, suggested wine pairings and was so helpful in either offering to bring equipment in that we didn't have or to work around what we did. The evening itself was incredible and utterly effortless. All the food was of the highest restaurant quality and was served wonderfully. We eat in the kitchen and the team blended in beautifully, and did all the washing up and clearing away too. It was an incredible experience to eat food of such quality in our own home - we are hooked!
