Fallon-Barnes Dining Reviews 16

I contacted Andy for a Quote to provide a BBQ for 60 people. Andy quickly provided a quote and was able to adjust the quote to meet our needs. Andys communication was responsive, professional and courteous. Andy came to the venue a few days before the BBQ so together we could agree on the layout and timings. Andy was easy to work with, obliging and friendly. On the day of the event, Andy arrived at the agreed time, and proceeded to set up without the need of support. Andy was self sufficient and set up seamlessly. Andy served cooked and served the food alone, and calmly and easily chatted to people as they arrived for food. At the end, the same thing happened and Andy packed away his equipment, tidied up, shut down the BBQ and took down the gazebo. Andy provided everything that was agreed, and had a separate BBQ for the vegan options. Everyone enjoyed the food, with many going up for seconds (and thirds).
I highly recommend Andy. He is professional, competent, a great cook, and easy going.

I contacted Andy at very short notice for my 30th birthday celebration.
I cannot praise him enough. We had a couple of special dietary requirements/allergies within the group, and he was great with communication from the beginning, accommodating these needs and ensuring these guests weren’t missing out on anything.
The food was excellent, beautifully presented and we were very well looked after through out the evening. I didn’t have to worry about tidying up afterwards either as he left the kitchen as if he hadn’t even been there.
I look forward to booking Andy again for any future special occasions.

I booked Fallon-Barnes Dining to host a birthday celebration at my home. From start to finish the service Andy provided was exceptional. The process and guidance to create the menu was superb and then the service and quality of the food on the day was amazing! Wonderful canapés followed by 3 courses! I also had a coeliac guest and a guest with nut allergies and Andy accommodated it all with no fuss and made sure they were able to have the same standard and same food where possible throughout. No food left on the plates and very happy host and guests! Andy worked extremely hard, was a pleasure and paid attention to detail! He also left me with a very tidy kitchen at the end. Would highly recommend!! Thank you!!

Andrew catered for a party, amazing selection of canapes both sweet and savoury. Great communication and paid great attention to guests who had allergies. Pleasure to work with and would definitely use again.Thank you so much for helping to make such a special evening x

This was my first time booking a private chef and any expectations I had were well and truely surpassed!

Andrew was brilliant from start to finish on not only the evening but through choosing the menu. He was very flexible, explained it all clearly and communicated quickly.

My husband and guests all commented how lovely he was, he would serve at the right times, was engaging and very knowledgeable about all things food.

The food was amazing!!! So so good. Everyone was full and happy at the end of the meal. He cleared up each course, washing up too as he went and the kitchen was cleaner than when he arrived!

I would definitely 100% recommend Andrew to cook for any event.

Andy is a great chef! What can I say, superb meal again, Andy even managed to get me to like food I thought I didn’t like!

Highly recommend for anyone regardless of the celebration. Andy is a great company for an evening and makes everything so easy and relaxed from food choices and timings he is happy to assist and make every occasion a success.

Looking forward to the next time I have a meal cooked by Andy!

This is the second time we have used Andy, and this must be the best recomendation. He came to our house and prepared evening dinner for 8 of us.
All communication and planning easy and spot on. Lovely menus and beutifully cooked and presented. Fabulous flavours and lots of really interesting additions and ingredients. As important, Andy is a great person to have in your home and is very much part of the celebration. A cracking evening and Andy really contributed to everything in many many ways. 100% recomended and will use again.

What can I say about Andy - in Tina Turners words “He’s Simply The Best”
From the time Andy arrived he didn’t stop working. He arrived on my birthday morning and prepared a magnificent breakfast, which total outweighed my expectations. He prepared a lunchtime grazing board, not a bit left. He prepared a sumptuous three course evening meal, with delicious canapés to start. The next day my friends and I (8 of us) had an afternoon tea, which Andy beautifully prepared. The cakes were homemade, all done by Andy’s fair hands. All to die for.

Incredible chef. Easy to book, lots of choices on the menu and catered to complex dietary requirements. Very professional, with great explanations of each course and delicious food. And, he cleaned up the kitchen to professional standard at the end!

We have used Andrew twice now and on both occasions he has been exceptional. Food was great, very professional and service perfect!
He is very accommodating to menu changes and specific requirements. Would happily use his services again.

This was my first time booking a private chef and my expectations were massively surpassed! Andrew was a delight to work with. He was flexible, informative and communicated clearly the whole way through.

The birthday boy was pleasantly surprised and Andrew really added to the atmosphere of the evening. He was very engaging and informative and had the right level of chat and banter with us all without taking over the evening.

The food was incredible!!! So so good. Everyone was extremely full and satisfied at the end of the meal. Andrew was professional and such a pro - we were staying in an AirBnB with an AGA and unusual cooking facilities - non of which phased him!

I will 100% be booking Andrew to cook for us again as I want more of that delicious food!!

I booked Andy for my step son’s 40th birthday meal. Andy was really helpful in choosing the menu and nothing was too much trouble. On the day I just left Andy to his own devices in my kitchen and everything went so smoothly. The food was delicious and my kitchen was left spotless.

Andy is a really lovely man and I would highly recommend him

I booked Andy as a surprise for my partners birthday and from the start he was incredible! As it was my first time booking such an experience, Andy was kind enough to give me an explanation and answered any and every questions I had (there were plenty!).

On the day of my partners birthday, he understood the need for discreetness and snuck in quietly with his equipment and because of that the surprise was executed perfectly, and my partner was delighted.

The experience itself was absolute perfection. Andy himself was incredibly kind and polite, and it is clear he has a wealth of knowledge and passion for his craft. Each dish was served one after the after in perfect timing and explained in a way that left us intrigued and amazed at the way he constructed each dish. In addition to this, the presentation of the dishes were 5* restaurant worthy! The proportions were large and left us feeling satisfied and full well after the meal.

Now finally, the flavour! There are no words that could accurately depict the taste and flavour of each dish and give it enough justice. Quite easily one of the best meals we’ve ever had, if not THE best. We were absolutely amazed and days later, we are still thinking about the food.

Andy’s service was perfect from start to finish and helped make the experience really special. There is absolutely nothing that I could fault from the experience! I’d definitely book him again.

I hired Andy for a surprise birthday dinner for my partner and our friends.

Andy was an utter professional and all round great guy from beginning to end - he was helpful when deciding the menu, providing guidance and suggestions to help come to the perfect meal and accommodate one of our dinner guest’s allergies. Leading up to the event, he provided a call sheet, and upon his arrival immediately started getting set up.
The food was exquisite. Andy took us through each of the dishes when he served them and even indulged us when we wanted something fun for our instagrams.

Overall we felt extremely comfortable with him in our home, and truly couldn’t have asked for anything more. Highly recommend and would 100% look to book him again!

Andy was fantastic & the food was unreal
He managed to fit us in for Valentine’s Day & it just made it so perfect.
We worked on the menu together & came up with exactly what we wanted.

Already looking at dates for the next eve.

Andy came to my house as a 50th birthday present. The meal was fabulous, just like a Michelin starred restaurant. Andy is a great host and makes the evening relaxed and enjoyable and is happy to discuss the food and provide cooking tips galore! I’ve used him a few times since and he is now my go to for a “Night Out”.
