Honest Cook - Guildford

L

Tom@HonestCook was recommended to me as a possible caterer when I hired the venue for my sister's hen do. Tom was amazing through the whole booking process, helping with deciding the tablescape, supplying all the extras we wanted, providing an almost endless list of menu options to choose from, and catering to any dietaries. He honestly went above and beyond, and made planning the hen do so much easier! We went for the 3-course option, which included the waiting staff, as well as the table linen, cutlery, plates and glasses, each of which we were able to choose ourselves to create the look we wanted. Tom and his team were just fantastic. They were all so friendly and extremely attentive. It made for an extra special day! The table was stunning, while the food was absolutely delicious and exquisitely presented. Everyone was left extremely impressed and having had the best day ever! We now have some amazing photos to look back on the day. I honestly can't rate Tom and his team highly enough! Thank you so much, Tom!

Tom catered a specialist birthday meal for us and the first thing to say was that the food was all wonderful and scrummy. The experience doesn't stop there though and from the initial enquiry, through to menu choices, pre event planning and the day itself it was all 5 star. Tom and Jen seamlessly prepped the food, arranged the table, cooked and served up a storm. They were so professional and friendly you could just sit back and relax in the company of your friends and family; it was almost like they just weren't there. We were still chatting and supping wine when it was time for them to leave but Tom was very happy to come back and get the remainder of their glasses etc the next day. It is also worth pointing out that the kitchen was left spotless.
From someone who wondered if a private dining experience was something other people had, I couldn't have been more delighted to be wrong. If you are in two minds about a private dining experience (with Tom) then don't hesitate and just go for it. I know who I will be turning to for when I want that something a little special. Thank you so much Tom and Jen!

Tom came to cook at our house for my wife's 60th birthday. Every aspect of the evening had clearly been planned with great detail, from the personalised menu and table setting to the meal itself. Jen, Tom's colleague, served the drinks and canapes with style and a smile whilst also being very discreet.

Incredible canapes, four delicious courses, nothing rushed and absolutely no mess at the end of the evening, we could not fault a thing - a real treat!

All the guests thoroughly enjoyed the evening and we would not hesitate to ask Tom to cook again.

Thanks Tom and Jen!

Tom and his team were fantastic. Very friendly staff and excellent food.We had canapés and bowls which were delicious. The whole process from start to finish was faultless. Excellent customer service before the event and great choice of dishes. I would thoroughly recommend them.

Tom cooked for my birthday celebration for 13 guests. From the moment he and his team arrived we were instantly relaxed knowing all would be amazing. Nothing was too much trouble for his staff and to say the food was sublime is an understatement. The canapés were so tasty and beautifully presented as was the three course dinner - the menu was superb so much care and attention to detail. To make things even better the kitchen was left gleaming and we had nothing to do but enjoy the evening, thank you again and I hope to use you again.

Tom and his team catered for our intimate wedding of 30 and we could not recommend Honest Cook enough.
From the very start, all the way through the process, Tom was helpful, communicative, efficient and incredibly generous with his time, and ensured that we were happy with every detail for the big day. He was completely accommodating of any request, and went above and beyond to make sure all guests with any dietary requirement had a great menu.
The food was absolutely delicious (5 stars, no notes), and the team were a joy to be around. So attentive and genuinely lovely people. We couldn't be happier!

My special birthday lunch prepared and cooked by Tom in our own kitchen was fabulous - everything looked and tasted beautiful, the table setting was gorgeous and the service provided by Tom No. 2 was also excellent! I’d highly recommend The Honest Cook for any special event?
