Mike is amazing! We had an incredible food experience with the six-course taster menu to celebrate my mum's 50th birthday. The flavors were outstanding, and Mike's service was exceptional. Couldn't recommend him more!
Fantastic food, would thoroughly recommend having Michael cook for you. He was also great company and really treated us to the best food ever and made the evening special . Thank you 😁
Mike is a fantastic chef - we booked him for a dinner party in the Cotswolds and the food was fantastic and presented in an incredible way. Mike and the waitress were professional, on time and left the kitchen spotless. Mike explained each course of the menu and our waitress Martha ensured we were well looked after. Will definitely book again!

A rare family get-together was greatly enhanced by engaging Mikes services for a special Saturday dinner Never having booked a private chef before and bring slightly nervous, his engaging and dry manner led to a food choice that appealed to all ages. He turned up on time, made do with the holiday lets kitchen vagaries and crested a fabulous 4 course meal. He engaged with us all and explained each course with appeal and eager anticipation We had a fabulous experience and one with Mike I’d recommend whole heartedly
Lively, energetic and charismatic chef that delivered great food.
My family and I went on a short break to Burton-on-the-water and whilst we were there it was my mums birthday. As a surprise, rather than heading out to a restaurant for dinner we hired private chef Mike Fishpen to cook for us. We went with the six course menu as detailed on his website and each course was delicious and packed full of flavour. Mike took the time to present and explain each course as it was served. Mike was very friendly, quick to respond with my enquiries and questions, and I would definitely hire him to cook for us again. We also opted to have a waitress for the evening, which allowed us to sit back, relax and enjoy the dinner as our drinks were served to us and the clearing up at the end of the night was done for us. It was a very high quality restaurant dinner in the comfort of our holiday cottage, I highly recommend hiring Mike for any occasion.
Winning a 6-course dinner through a charity auction gave us the opportunity to have a private chef cook in our own home. Mike didn't disappoint and really made the evening go well, along with the support of Carol to serve the meal, drinks and wash up ! Well recommended...
Wonderful food and service with a relaxed atmosphere. Already rebooked Michael for next year.
Michael's services came to us through a charity auction offering the opportunity of private chef to cook for a dinner party in your own home. The dinner for 12 did not disappoint at all and I would strongly recommend taking the offer of a waitress to help. The whole evening was such a success and I cannot thank Michael enough for his fantastic cooking, his representation and professionalism. Will happily recommend him to our friends.
Excellent food, and Mike catered for our particular dietary needs very well. We enjoyed engaging with Mike throughout the evening. We're repeat customers for a reason!
We hired Mike for an 8 course menu for my father-in-laws 60th birthday celebrations. We were staying in the Cotswolds for a few days and found Mike after searching online, throughout the whole process Mike was super responsive to all our questions and queries and helped us to personalise the menu for our group. On the day of the meal Mike arrived and set everything up with the lovely Anja looking after us with drinks and canapés. Every single course was absolutely stunning and we were still talking about how good the food was days later! We wouldn't hesitate to book Mike again and will be recommending him to anybody looking for a private chef for a special occasion.
Mike stepped in last minute (due to a cancellation) to save the day and help create a wonderful New Year’s Eve menu for 10 of us. The food was faultless from the canapés to dessert; the scallops and filet were incredible. The waitress laid the table beautifully and was very attentive, constantly offering and pouring drinks. Mike described each dish when served and left everything spotless. Nobody had to lift a finger. A wonderful and memorable evening was created and we could not recommend Mike highly enough.
My second time having Mike cook a six course taster menu and i would highly recommend! The food for fresh and very tasty! Best sticky toffee pudding we’ve ever had can’t wait for next time
I booked Mike Fishpen a personal chef for a 6 course meal for my husband’s surprise birthday meal. He was very efficient in his communications with me. He arrived on time with lots of his own culinary equipment. The food was first class with great flavours and exactly right size portions. He introduced each course and mentioned where he sourced the food from. Would highly recommend this chef. My husband was so surprised and thoroughly enjoyed each course.
We hired Chef Mike to create us a holiday menu for our holiday Thanksgiving. Not only was the meal wonderful, but Mike was a pleasant person to have around - making our holiday extra special. The pumpkin pie, butternut squash soup and green bean casserole were so good that it may have just convinced us to come back every year! Spoiled indeed. Would recommend!
Fantastic and extremely professional. From the canapés to the 5 course meal everything was of a very high standard. The staff were great and went over and above what was expected of them. I would highly recommend. 10/10
A returning customer and a fabulous girls evening. Fab food, fab fun, fab night, thank you so much Mike.
