We invited him for a special family event in a rented house in Peak District. Alpay and I were talking a few days before, building a 3 course meal menu for 10 people, kids and adults. He arrived 2 hours before the dinner started, and started to prepare everything, bringing all the ingredients and equipment with him. For the first course, we had saffron and asparagus arancini, and a rolled seabass with celeriac cream. For the mains, we had tagliatelle ragu, and salmon with risotto. Finally, we had San Sebastian Cheesecake and lemon tarts for deserts. All the dishes were extremely beautifully served, and were absolutely delicious. Eventually, Alpay packed everything back, and left the kitchen clean and tidy. Alpay was also super friendly and kind, talking to us, explaining, and letting the kids see him cook.

I especially liked the blade of beef, which was tender and melted in the mouth. He was warm and friendly, taking the time to explain each dish and always making sure to serve the birthday girl first. He also handled the clean up afterwards, which the host was very happy about!

He also was flexible when two of the original group dropped out at the last minute. The food was stellar and portion sizes were great. 10/10 would recommend.

A comprehensive three-course dinner (complete with a selection of mouth-watering canapes prior), was so skillfully produced was nothing short of outstanding. Such a friendly, professional chap - with his excellent communication with us beforehand, was also excellent. We thank you Chef Alpay - our family was absolutely blown away!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alpay was great. From the initial booking to the event his communication was brilliant . He took in many requests for special dietary requirements and reassured us every step of the way. His food and presentation was superb amongst the best I have ever had. If he wasn’t a chef I would hire him as a cleaner because the kitchen was spotless when he had finished. He catered for 12 adults and 1 small child who were all impressed with him. Great meal many thanks
