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.
