Delicious food and unforgettable occasions in your home with a private chef in the Cotswolds

SadeFoodLab were fantastic, coming straight back to me on my request, and were so accommodating with both vegan and gluten-free menu options. Both Stephanie and Samira were so lovely, professional, and cleared up everything so it was like they’d never been. But most of all the food was exceptional. I had a party for a big birthday with the best mojitos, delicious canapés and a buffet – and it made it all feel very special. All my guests commented on how amazing the food was. Thank you!

Last Saturday 26th November. Both Stephanie & Samira prepared dinner for 10 to celebrate our niece, Gem’s 40th birthday at Airb&b in Birlingham. They prepared an Asian Thai food cuisine. All of us veg & none veg were impressed with the quality of the food prepared by the ladies. They left the kitchen spotless following our meals and all of us would highly recommend using them for private parties to prepare your meals in the comfort of your own homes or rented accommodation. Well done ladies once again for making our celebrations, so memorable.

Lovely taster menu with excellent service. We had a wonderful evening

What a fabulous evening Stephanie & Samira created for us. We celebrated a 60th birthday weekend with our family in an Airbnb in Witney Oxfordshire and asked Steph to cook something special for 16 guests on the Saturday evening. Well, they arrived punctually at 1pm, immediately taking charge of the kitchen with courtesy and confidence. They worked throughout the afternoon to create a wonderful 4-course menu full of great flavours, colour and interest, all beautifully presented. The starters were served to us at the table and the mains were presented ‘buffet-style’ in the kitchen. There was certainly plenty for us all to eat and we were left fully satisfied by this delicious fayre. Steph and Samira left the kitchen in immaculate condition, were industrious and charming in equal measure, making the entire experience truly wonderful. Thank you so much.

Lovely lovely girls, super professional, cleaned up after themselves. Food was excellent, we had a party with 23 guests and everyone complimented the food. Could not recommend more!

What a brilliant team to have working with us. Fantastic food crafted by them for our second event last week and we ensured that we got the “dream team” back to support us. Their attention to detail and their ability to adapt to our needs was really appreciated. They always have a smile on their faces while they are cooking away in the kitchen which shows they love their work! Can’t wait for the next event in October!

For a last minute booking Stephanie put in so much effort. An absolute 1st class meal served with so much style and personality. The food created is out of this word good. Stephanie also catered for my pregnant wife with no issues at all. An absolute treat and made our weekend finish in the most perfect way. Highly recommended.

Superb. The team were so accommodating, particularly with all the different dietary requirements! Food and cocktails were delicious. We had a party for 18 people and you were brilliant.

Service and food was absolutely fantastic. Nothing was too much for the team. We hired sade to help us celebrate a 70th birthday. There were 23 of us 2 vegetarian and 2 children. Everyone were catered for and no one was missed out. Restaurant standard food.

Sadefoodlab were great, they were booked as a surprise for my 50th birthday. The food was really tasty, plenty of variety, they were very hospitable, tidy and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or use them in the future.

My experience with sadefoodlab was fantastic from start to finish I organised a dinner party for 20 adults for my friends 50th birthday the food was phenomenal the chefs were brilliant worked from 230 in the afternoon till 10 at night and when they left it didn’t look like they’d been there ,they was very organised clean and tidy and very lovely people to be around , Everybody including me was blown away with the food I would highly recommend them and will definitely use them again and I send many thanks to the company for their hard work making the evening perfect.

I used Sade food lab for catering for a dinner that I was arranging for my friend’s hen do at Cotswold. Before the day itself Stephanie was super helpful, friendly and communication was great. Menu options all sounded delicious and flexible to choose from the selection provided. Stephanie was great at clearly explaining how the menu selection works, the prices and advising what goes well together. On the day itself Stephanie and her team made the experience super stress free for me, from preparation, to making the food itself, to serving us the food and even left everything cleaned and tidy before leaving. The food looked outstanding and tasted delicious. We all loved it and was way above our expectations. My fav was dynamite prawns, the lobster friend rice & crab croquettes. Portion sizes were amazing, I was too full to get to the teriyaki wings (I now regret not trying some!). Thanks so much for the best dining experience ever!

Do NOT hesitate, just book! My husband and I are absolute foodies, we are always thinking of which restaurant we want to go to next and these two ladies replicated a meal we would have had in high end restaurants at home in our hired cottage. The food was absolutely incredible, and not just one dish but ever.single.one. Our favourites were hands down the bao buns, dynamite prawns and the sticky toffee pudding! Not only was the food amazing the service and hospitality matched the high standard. I’ve used 4 private chefs in the last year and these ladies are by far the best. We’re already trying to figure out the next celebration to book them again! Thank you again x

We had Sade food lab for a very special meal for my brother in laws 40th. Stephanie was amazing from the first time I contacted her, and extremely accommodating to our ever changing needs. I can say hands down it was the best private dining experience I have ever had. All 12 of us were in complete agreement!! The food and the presentation was 10/10, and the team were an absolute pleasure to be around. My ultimate favourite dishes were the Dynamite prawns, Boa buns & the sticky toffee pudding!! To die for. We will definitely be calling on Sade Lab again.

Fantastic team from start to finish Tasty food Defo recommended this team 7 star

The food was incredible. Family member booked this amazing company for a birthday celebration. I am a fussy eater and was unsure whether I would like anything but I was proven wrong. All dishes were amazing, the prawn starters delicious. Highly recommended

Had a brilliant experience with Stephanie and her team! We had them for a full day on our 30th birthday and they created the most beautiful spread for Brunch and Dinner. Everything aesthetically looked amazing but the taste matched too. The team is super friendly and communication was really easy with Stephanie. Highly recommend Sadesfoodlab! Thank you for making our birthday special ????

Stephanie and her team made our Christmas stress free. They provided a delicious grazing board & canapés for Xmas Eve and a delicious Christmas Day lunch. They were like Christmas fairies and we couldn’t have done without them!

After been let down very last minute by another chef I contacted Stephanie who said she could help! Stephanie was so friendly and professional from start to finish, she managed to put together an amazing menu last minute and even made her signature cocktails for us, she also made sure 4 of the children were catered for! The food was literally the best we have ever had and her team were so friendly and helpful. If you are looking for a personal chef I honestly wouldn’t look anywhere else as she is the best! I am so glad the other chef did cancel as we wouldn’t have met Stephanie and her team and had their delicious food. Thank you so much for making our Boxing Day so special X

I had experienced Stephanie, Samira and their third colleague’s chef/ home dining services at a hen do and was so impressed that we booked them for a corporate weekend away event for a team of 10 at a Manor House. They are all such lovely, bubbly people who clearly care deeply about what they are doing. They want the food to be perfect and amazing and they nail it every time. I would ensure you have enough space in the kitchen and enough plates, cutlery, pots and pans as they make a whole range of amazing dishes right there at the house. Everything is made from scratch and the quality of food is incredible. They also print out a menu and it’s such a brilliant personalised experience. Every single person was blown away by the experience and how tasty the food was, they also all loved the warm friendly energy the chefs brought with them. This is so worth doing, and so much more special than going out for a meal. I can’t wait till the next opportunity to book Stephanie and the SadeFoodLabs team again!

First-class presentation of food, expertly prepared and full of flavour. Very well organised with great people skills too! It doesn’t get much better than this! ????

The entire experience of working with Stephanie has been absolutely brilliant. She created the most beautiful grazing tables for my husbands 52 birthday party (20 people). She made great suggestions for the menu, I feel like she really got the brief spot on. She communicated clearly and timely throughout working with her. And the food was absolutely delicious!! I can’t wait to use Stephanie and her team again. I can very highly recommend her!

Stephanie was a delight. Such a friendly and talented chef who made my boyfriends birthday very special! Her food was amazing and added some really nice touches to the evening including personalised menu cards and cocktails. I would 100% recommend Stephanie to anyone who is looking for a private chef.

Amazing ???? we had Asian and I can honestly say the best we have ever tasted. We had a party of 6 menus on the table all so well done . Are guests haven’t stopped talking about it. I well recommend. Thank you Stephanie for making it the perfect evening. X

Amazing meal for our friends 30th birthday! Stephanie and her team were so lovely and made it such a nice experience!

Stephanie was great from start to finish, went the extra mile to cater to a wide range of dietary requirements and the food was delicious. Fabulous service and for a group of 22, she made my partners birthday really special.

I chose Stephanie to cater for a birthday and anniversary family/friends surprise dinner party based primarily on the very positive reviews posted on bark.com Having never previously used a private chef before, this was a large leap of faith but I’m delighted to say, thanks to Stephanie and her two charming assistants, that it turned out to be a truly wonderful night and one we’ll treasure for a very long time. Despite being really busy, Stephanie replied promptly to my initial email enquiry. We communicated regularly to agree the style of food from which she produced an interesting and balanced menu with cocktails as an optional extra. Stephanie was also great at keeping my grand ideas on menu choices in check so as to not overload guests with too much food. One shout-out I must also give is Stephanie’s flexibility, when I had to unexpectedly change the original date due to unforeseen circumstances. She could not have been more helpful. On the day, I managed to get my wife out of the house under false pretences, allowing Stephanie and her team to arrive and start preparing the meal plus set the table. The smells that met us on our return were sensational. The table was a work of art, with personalised menus and funky/unique place settings. The Asian/fusion meal, featuring 4 x starter canapés and two main courses, was superb. The satisfied noises coming from our guests with every offering said everything, as did the finished empty plates. The dishes were as visually stunning as they were tasty. The cocktails between courses also worked a treat. As importantly, the rapport and banter between our chefs and ourselves made it a really special evening. The wonderful dessert rounded the meal off perfectly. And the final piece of magic is that Stephanie and the team hand your kitchen back to you exactly in the condition they found it before departing. I cannot recommend Stephanie highly enough. From start to finish, she was great and delivered an occasion we will never forget. Life is all about memories at the end of the day.

I hired Stephanie for a small gathering for my husband’s 50th birthday. We had the Asian fusion menu. From the word go, Stephanie made things easy. Communication before the event was good. As soon as they arrived, they got to work, chopping and creating their masterpieces. The food was absolutely divine! There was so much of it, and everything was so tasty, and beautifully presented. They adjusted the menu to cater for any dietary requirements. Stephanie, Samira and Fami (sorry if the spelling is wrong) were friendly & chatty, and the service was perfect. And they left my kitchen spotlessly clean afterwards. Thank you so much, I can’t wait to try your other menus! Would definitely recommend

Sadie and her team really delivered! She catered a delicious 3 course meal timed to perfection for myself and 6 friends. The dynamite prawn starter was incredible! The BBQ ribs were a lovely addition to the tasty bao buns as sides to a phenomenal sizzling stir fry beef! Can’t wait to enlist your services again! Would thoroughly recommend!!

Stephanie and Sameera were both so sweet and lovely!! Such good energy and so friendly yet professional. The food was probably one of the best meals I have ever had. Everything was so delicious it is hard to pick what my favourite was. The miso black cod melted in your mouth and the dynamite shrimp was full of flavour! I am not a dessert person but I licked my plate clean with the sticky toffee pudding cups. Everything is gorgeously presented and served hot! I will definitely be hiring Stephanie again and would recommend anyone who is thinking about private dining to hire her! You will not be disappointed. Thank you both for making my 30th birthday such an amazing evening. It was definitely one to remember!!

Stephanie and her team didn’t disappoint. They cooked an amazing meal for my sisters hen due. The Fried Sushi, Bao buns and dynamite cauliflower were personal faves. She even catered for our gluten free friend, who has always wanted to try Bao buns but could never find gluten free options. Overall a lovely evening and amazing food. Would recommend to anyone who is planning a special evening or event 🙂

Stephanie and her assistants were absolutely amazing! They prepared a meal and set up the table for a hen party I was arranging. The food was amazing, highly recommend the Dynamite Prawns. They were so lovely and easy going, they left the kitchen spotless! I can’t wait to use Stephanie again, amazing service. Thanks so much to you and your time for all of your help.

The food, cocktails and general experience was amazing. Very friendly team with Stephanie, accomodated all of our needs and I would definitely recommend. Hopefully we’ll have a chance to do another meal with her!

I wanted to arrange a surprise 30th birthday for my best friend for 6 people in total. I had never used a private chef before so I was unsure what to expect or even to be honest if I could even afford it!! I contacted Steph and from the start of the planning till the actual day she was amazing….she was happy to do a full menu of my choice (which included a full Christmas dinner during a heat wave june!) . The price was very reasonable and to be honest the amount and the quality of food it turned out to be a bargain. Most importantly however the food was amazing…we all agreed it far out did any of our expectations. We had a selection of starters which included deep fried Brie and halloumi , followed by a traditional Christmas dinner, home made banoffee pie with ice cream and then we were left with an incredible cheese board to enjoy for the rest of the night: We also opted to have several of Stephs home made cocktails which looked amazing with fresh fruit decorations and also tasted great. Whilst Steph was cooking she was so lovely and kind. I had lots of reservations about having a private chef but it turned out to be an amazing night and I have already recommended it to pretty much everyone I know. Thanks Steph!

Absolutely amazing food and service, food was beautiful prepared and delicious. Will definitely be using these again

WOW Amazing food and such friendly people would most definitely recommend them and am looking forward to using them again Julie

Stephanie & Samira are exceptionally organised, well prepared and lovely chefs! The food quality was absolutely fantastic, the flavours and tastes were delicious & the portions were huge! Very generous servings with lots of different options. Everything is freshly prepared. They do a lovely personalised menu which was a lovely touch. The girls also clean down and left everything as they found it. I highly recommend them for any occasion.

Had a private dinner for my birthday and the food was amazing from start to finish ! The 3 course meal was so tasty everyone enjoyed the food ! I would highly recommend her this everyone I was extremely happy she made my birthday the best.

Thank you for an amazing evening! Both you and Samera done an amazing job. You made my wife’s 50th birthday an extra special day! You accommodated my wife’s gluten free needs really well! You allowed us to enjoy our evening whilst you both worked hard in the background! And to not have to wash and clean up was a bonus! Thank you very much x

Booked Stephanie for my husband’s 30th and we had a great experience! The food was amazing and both Steph and Samera were so lovely and very comfortable to be around. They were also very considerate and offered a fruit platter to break our fast which was a lovely gesture! Highly recommend ????

Most amazing service I’ve ever had 1000% recommended if you need a private chef !!! She made a 3 course meal for my 24th birthday for 18 people and the food was fantastic!!! Absolutely amazing ❤️❤️❤️

My daughter booked Steph & her team to cook for my birthday dinner with friends.. & WOW!!. From the minute they arrived & set up they were so professional & friendly. The food was totally delicious & so much of it!. We loved the whole experience & definitely would use them again!. Would recommend them 100%!!

My team and I were delighted to have Stephanie and her team cook lunch for our corporate event. We chose the pan Asian menu and were not disappointed. From the canapés to the dessert, the food was amazing! I also want to mention the chef and her team’s professionalism and kindness from start to end. I highly recommend them.

Awesome service at a great price! We had Leena come as a mixologist to my wife’s party. She was amazing, came promptly, super friendly with great customer service and makes great cocktails. Our guests also sang her praises! Thank you so much for such a wonderful service…

Had the most amazing Thai/Asian menu for 16 ladies. Tasted absolutely delicious and out of this world. Would definitely recommend. They travelled to where we were staying and made our weekend extra special so thank you

I have nothing but positive feedback from the start. I had a very quick response and the suggested menu was really impressive that all 15 of us stuck to the proposed menu with no tweaks. Communication was great throughout and the booking process so easy.

On the day they were really professional and the service from beginning to end was impeccable. They really looked after us and there was plenty of food for us. So many little details I.e personalised menus.

The food was amazing and not a single person from the group had anything negative to say. The cocktail also went down very well.

The price was very reasonable and I really hope to be eating their food again soon.

Thank you for making our 40th birthdays special

Sade and her team was brilliant from start to finish. Extremely professional and helpful to adapt to all our requirements.
The food and presentation was sensational – we will be using again for sure!

Stephanie and the Team were excellent and thorough professionals. Organised, super friendly, punctual and importantly put on some great food and drinks for around 40 people at our garden birthday party!! More than happy to recommend!!!

Stephanie has catered for two hen dos that I have organised and both times she has been exceptional. Have had both the Asian Fusion and the Mediterranean menu’s and both are absolutely delicious. She is such an accommodating and kind chef who cooks unreal food. 10/10
