Testimonials

"It is my pleasure to have known Charlotte, who has worked with us as a chef from 2007 till 2015. She is a brilliant person to work with. She was always flexible, on time, polite, honest and easy to get along with. She took charge and performed with professionalism around high profile guests. I wish her all the very best for her future career"
H.E. Evelyn Genta Ambassador of the Principality of Monaco to the United Kingdom, London "Charlotte cooked for a Summer Lunch Party last weekend to celebrate my 70th and my husband’s 80th birthdays. We had 64 guests and the food was simply delicious - very fresh and innovative - and judging by the many comments we’ve had from our guests, it was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Charlotte was lovely to work with and I hardly knew she was in my kitchen which was spotless when she left. She has a very good team working with her who were extremely polite and efficient. Her food was beautifully presented and with great style. I will definitely use her again and won’t hesitate to recommend her to others. A perfect day - thank you Charlotte!" Caroline, Somerset "Charlotte did a catered dinner for 14 people for my wife's 60th birthday in a National Trust holiday manor house. She did a fantastic job. The canapes were beautifully presented and tasted as good as they looked. She produced an imaginative and excellent 3 course meal and this was all done with calm professionalism and humour. My only regret is that she does not live in our local area! Highly recommended." Mark, Hampshire "Charlotte took complete charge of our Christmas drinks party for 65 guests, cooking everything from scratch in our kitchen and organising a team of waitresses to welcome guests and serve drinks and canapés. All was done cheerfully and without fuss. She was extremely professional and produced delicious canapés, all freshly cooked and beautifully presented. Several guests paid their compliments to the chef, commenting on how imaginative and delicious the canapés were. It took a huge weight off my shoulders, enabling me to enjoy the party without any worries. What’s more, she and her team left the kitchen looking immaculate, washing up glasses and all. I’ve never seen our washing-up bowl look so clean! I would have no hesitation in recommending Charlotte. She is an excellent cook and a delight to deal with." Georgina, Somerset "Charlotte is a brilliant cook and provided the most delicious selection of vegetable dishes to accompany a family birthday BBQ in June, dropping them off to us a day in advance. She shows enormous attention to detail and all the accompanying dressings, herbs & toppings were supplied along with complete instructions for their use (& overnight storage) ensuring that presentation would be as good as if she had been there herself. It made the day an extremely easy one for the rest of us and I will definitely ask her to cook for us again. Such delicious food, thank you Charlotte." Elizabeth, Wiltshire " Charlotte prepared and served a delicious buffet for approximately 50/60 people for the celebration lunch following the baptism of my twin daughters. The food was both imaginative and filling. I would certainly unequivocally recommend her. She coped particularly well when the numbers were unexpectedly increasing at the last minute." Becky, London " Charlotte organised and provided the food for my 50th birthday party. The food was excellent and she was a delight to work with. It all ran like clockwork and it was a great success. I could not recommend her highly enough."

"You are absolutely brilliant!
Thank you so much for making Friday evening so fantastic for us and all our guests. The food was delicious - I have had nothing but fabulous feedback from everyone about how good it all was. Everyone was singing your praises! And huge thanks to your team for keeping the drinks flowing so well." Finella, Dorset "Charlotte made our family birthday celebration this weekend so memorable as we wanted to dress up for dinner and not have to do anything. That's exactly what happened, she is delightful and superbly fitted in with our family celebrations, she just got on with the job and coped really well with the kitchen and the facilities that were available. Her cooking was excellent and there was nothing left on the plates she clearly has an understanding of what ingredients support and complement the main dish. Our son made the comment he could not love a human baby more than the Chocolate Rum and Almond torte cake which Charlotte decorated with candles. Her attention to detail was her food was delicious i would not hesitate to recommend her, we all said we would travel down to Wiltshire another weekend just to rent a house and use Charlotte again." Keith, Surrey "Charlotte Archer did all the food for my recent 60th birthday party. She was really helpful in planning and suggesting menus and the food was quite delicious and interesting. She and her team were very efficient and nothing was too much trouble. Many of our guests commented on the originality of the food and she also produced tailor made dishes for those guests with allergies etc. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone" Fiona, Dorset 'Charlotte joined our family of twelve for a week to take over the catering, completely transforming our lives by removing all the usual hassle of the feeding frenzy! She was a delight to have with us and fitted in immediately, making light of any inconveniences or special requests (being quite un-phased when the stove started to break down bit by bit…). She had many interesting menu ideas and her meals were always delicious - plus baking for tea and the best granola for breakfast. We hope very much to see her again, and I am happy to recommend her without reservation.' Dodie, Dorset "Charlotte has recently done the canapés for a Drinks Party for us. The food was fabulous and many of our guests commented how lovely it was to enjoy some 'different' delicious canapés. It was all beautifully presented, by smiling efficient staff. Charlotte left my kitchen in an immaculate state and somehow they washed up all the glasses too! I would thoroughly recommend Charlotte and will definitely use her again." Annie, Dorset "Charlotte made our birthday celebration complete and special. The quality of the dinner she cooked and presented to us was superb. The fact she did all this in an unfamiliar kitchen and for 7 of us was fantastic! We would recommend you without hesitation" John, Surrey " Charlotte came to help us out on the weekend of our daughter's (Lou lou) and Teds wedding. Her main task was to feed us which she did splendidly but went way beyond her remit and turned her very capable hands to many other tasks that needed doing over that very special weekend. She is a wonderful chef and not only does her food taste very good, it is also beautifully presented. I wish she was still in my kitchen! " Susie, Dorset " Charlotte has cooked and oranised many a dinner party for our family. Arranged and prepared all the food for our daughters 21st. She is a confident, diligent and excting cook that we will continue to engage with for more entertaining. She is a delight to work with and a joy to have in our home."
Sarah, Hampshire " My wife and I held a Sunday morning drinks party and Charlotte provided the canopes for 100 people. The food was beautifully presented with lots of attention to colour and the shape of the serving platters. Her service was very professional and the food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. All the canopes were prepared by her on the morning and whilst the actual party was going on so were beautifully fresh. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her."
