Frequently Asked Questions
Testimonials
I enjoy having family and friends over , and 'Sunday roast' with all the trimmings was not something I was confident doing, yet it's something that really brings a group of all ages together. I hired Nikki for a few hours on a Sunday and we prepared a Sunday Roast Beef. She sent me a shopping list beforehand (based on my likes and dislikes), then we cooked together. I made notes every step of the way, picking up on all the good hints and tips that Nikki was showing me, and then learning to get the flow of the timings just right. My husband's feedback at the end was that is was "one of the best roast beef dinners he's ever had" - and he's tried a few! It was a brilliant experience! I couldn't recommend Nikki enough with her years of cheffing experience and her professionalism, and she is also a great laugh. Learning should be great fun! Cheers Nikki!

"Nikkichef is truly exceptional! We have never seen a ‘grazing table’ like the one prepared for our anniversary celebration – nor had any of our guests. It was a work of pure artistry, with the taste to match. Just fab! Our friends are still talking about it two years on. Not only is Nikki an amazing chef, but she also treats her staff with a great amount of respect and is a pleasure to have around. We cannot recommend her services more highly".

I Have known Nikki for over year, working as a private Chef in Judges lodgings in Cardiff and Swansea. I have been extremely impressed by her cooking abilities, which are frankly superb, but also by her overall attitude. She is a cheerful and hard-working person. She is a pleasure to be around. She strikes me as also having a lively intelligence and very good initiative.

Our ethos is very important to me, I pride myself on using locally sourced produce where possible and wherever my services are required.

I'm extremely proud and delighted to bring that experience to "NikkiChef".

Had Nikki for private dining in my home for my husband’s birthday. The food was AMAZING! What a great experience to have such a gifted chef cook a meal for us all. Everyone really enjoyed their food which was all freshly cooked , piping hot and beautifully presented. Thank you Nikki you are simply the best!
Hi I was wondering if you taught cookery or baking classes/workshops/courses for aspiring junior chefs. My son who is 11 loves cooking and im trying a local course (Roath, Cathays, Cyncoed, Heath) I can’t to seem to find any, they are either to far or out of my budget. Plesse could you let me know if you offer this facility or if you know anyone else who does? Thanks Sima Dar (mum)
Nikki is amazing, a truly great catering professional. She is great to deal with and always goes above and beyond to make everything perfect. Her food and service is top notch and the food is always beautifully presented. Nikki baked the cake for my son's first birthday, and all the family still rave about it one year later.
Dear Nikki,
On behalf of Francis J and myself and all of our guests, I just wanted to congratulate you on producing such a magnificent feast for us. I know how hard you worked and gosh, it was delicious. The empty plates spoke for themselves, thank you so much for giving us a meal to remember!
Niki Chef did the catering for a family wedding it was outstanding. Niki is very professional and was able to individualise the food to the occasion and to our personal requests. The food was imaginative and beautifully presented and completely delicious. It made a very happy day.
I would have no hesitation in recommending her and will definitely use again.
thank you Nikki, the food and presentation was absolutely superb. Your enthusiasm, personality and sense of fun are infectious and together with such high quality food, made the evening a great success. Thank you for your professionalism and flawless organisation.
I was invited to a party where the food was presented by NIkki chef. I’ve never seen such an amazing array of fresh food displayed like this. The colours just jump out at you. And everything tasted delicious. I would highly recommend you book Nikki chef for any celebration if you want to blow your guests away. She’s an inspirational chef.
