Aggie was amazing! She cooked us a spectacular meal and I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a private chef.

we had a wonderful 70th meal courtesy of Aggie. The food was absolutely delicious and so fresh. She also made a birthday cake which was amazing! From start to finish Aggie was so professional and responded quickly to emails and put together a perfect menu for us. Would highly recommend Heavy Metal Munchies for any events as Aggie will make it really special!

Seriously one of the highlights of our trip was this food experience. Every bite revealed the love Aggie put onto the preparation. We recommend this food experience to everyone. You will not be disappointed but it will become one of your core memories.

We give Heavy Metal Munchies and Aggie high praise for the catering job at our daughter’s destination wedding at Dalnaglar Castle Estate this spring.

We initially reached out to Aggie based on the amazing pictures (she is a very talented food stylist) and the online reviews that we read. From the moment we connected with her we were very impressed with her responsiveness and thoroughness. It can be daunting to plan the menu for any wedding and even more so when planning from overseas. However, as soon as we started communicating with Aggie, we were certain that we were in great hands.

The first thing Aggie asked was if any of our guests had any dietary restrictions so that she could build a menu that would appeal to everyone. Among the 32 guests, we had quite a few dietary needs and concerns: vegan, vegetarians, pescatarians, gluten free, low sodium and more. Aggie put together amazing menu suggestions to accommodate each of our guests' individual needs. Additionally, Aggie introduced us to Scottish fare, a cuisine that we were not familiar with, making our wedding food experience even more special.

The amount of planning, recommending, and communicating was amazing. Every time we spoke with Aggie, through either email or WhatsApp (which was quite frequent over the course of months), we came away feeling confident and celebrated our decision to have Heavy Metal Munchies cater this special event.

When we finally got to Scotland and met Aggie and her team at the castle we became even more impressed. While they were working incredibly hard, long days in advance of the wedding, what we loved seeing most was how much they were enjoying their work. We found ourselves walking into the kitchen to converse with them and be in their company. We like happy, fun people!

Aggie and team provided two breakfasts, appetizers, dinner and dessert. All were amazingly beautiful, delicious, and accommodated our guests dietary needs.

Our breakfast menus included sweet and savory scones, homemade granola, bircher muesli, fresh brioche and banana bread, homemade compote, veggie quiche, sausage rolls.

Appetizers included vegan aubergine and chickpea bites, incredibly delicious sushi grade smoked trout haddock with dill soured cream, Talisker Whisky salmon gravadlax on a homemade cracker, homemade baguette, Scottish cheeses, oatcakes and homemade chutneys & homemade cheese and veggie straws.

Our wedding buffet included a selection of Scottish meat and vegan pies, butternut squash, spinach & sage risotto, chunky cheese & chilli fries, steamed greens, maple roasted carrots and gravy. Everyone raved about the delicious homemade kale chips.

Dessert included Scottish favorites like cranachan and tablet. The Millionaire's Shortbread Lemon & Italian Meringue Tart were both favorites.
All of the food items were very clearly labeled so those with the dietary concerns could safely manage their needs. Aggie even became familiar with the names on our guest list of those with dietary concerns so she could make sure they were taken care of.

It was a feast fit for royalty! Every guest felt catered to and was quite impressed with the food spread! Top notch!

These words do not fully express how pleased we were to have Heavy Metal Munchies cater our daughter’s Scottish castle wedding. The amount of planning, the attention to detail, the quality and beauty of the food, and the resulting joy made this one of our best service experiences ever. We wish we would have taken photos of all the food, but we were busy enjoying every bite. Rock on! 10 stars!

I got to enjoy Aggie's delicious and lovely meals on a 5-day photographic workshop on the Isle of Harris. The six of us on the workshop were uniformly impressed with the quality, variety, and presentation of all our meals. All were a true treat -- and something we all looked forward to coming "home" to during our stay on Harris. Also, Aggie was thoroughly professional, and charming. Very highly recommended!

Aggie has just catered for seven of us as a private chef on the Isle of Harris for just on a week. The quality and variety of the food served was outstanding and the homemade breads, jams and chutneys were the icing on the cake figuratively and literally. Aggie is also a delight to have around and good fun. Very highly recommended!

Aggie was our private chef for a week long photography retreat that we hosted. She was amazing! Food was delicious. We had lots of different dietary and allergy requirements for our guests, and Aggie was on top of all it. The food was always ready on time as not to interfere with the retreats schedule. Would highly recommend Aggie!!

Aggie has done the catering for me for the past three years when I run 14 day photographic workshops on the Isle of Harris. The food is great of course. She can make a very high-class professional presentation and works very well at considering the budget you have. She's extremely professional but also, is a lot of fun and I find my guests like to hang out in the kitchen if they can with her. She has the perfect sense of balance between being professional and informal. Great fun, kind, easy going, strong work ethic, knows how to adapt to the environment and the people around her. The food of course is excellent and I have found everyone on my trips has looked forward to each meal to see what's in store. I enjoy working with Aggie very much and I hope to continue to do so in the future.
