The absolute best thing that he sells tho that is 💯 worth the money is his whole cheesecakes 🤤 in my house it never lasts longer than a day!! We try to order weekly from Ian the food is definitely the best we’ve had and the freshest!! Thank you so much for all of our orders we will be placing another order soon Lyndsey & stefan

    positive review  Given the lockdown normal birthday plans for Sue ( like everybody else ) were somewhat restricted. Based on recommendations from various friends I booked an afternoon tea for two. Absolutely fantastic service from Shakespeare Kitchen from ease of booking on line through to timely delivery with great customer service from Ian. The tea was fantastic - really ( really ) good - in fact one of the best afternoon teas we’ve had in a long time. Based on this experience we cannot wait to try Ian’s other services in the new year. Thoroughly recommended.

    positive review  I’m not easily impressed (in fact, some would say I’m pretty high maintenance! ;-))...but I was SERIOUSLY impressed with our Shakespeare Kitchen isolation fine dining experience! My husband organised Ian to provide a socially distanced dinner for my birthday last week. The food was sensational and the service was fantastic. Highly recommend this company for private catering services, even during lockdown. Ian didn’t step foot inside the house, he brought all of his own equipment and set up in our garage! He has a gazebo he can use if you don’t have a garage. He wore a face mask and gloves at all times. Thanks for making it a special evening Ian, despite lockdown! Can’t wait to try your afternoon tea and book you for a garden party when socialising is back in vogue!

    positive review  Thank you Ian for coming to cook a birthday celebration dinner for us last night. It was such a treat to chill out and enjoy a few drinks while you worked your magic. The food was exceptional, beautifully presented and so delicious. Your COVID-19 precautions were meticulous, your sense of humour whilst serving us was much enjoyed and the fact you sharpened all my knives and cleaned the kitchen before leaving was very much appreciated. I really can’t thank you enough and will certainly be booking again. You left your jacket here and there is no chance of you getting it back unless you give me your secret recipe for that scrumptious pink peppercorn sauce!!! 😂😂😂😂

The presentation, professionalisms and efficient working made for a fantastic stress free evening! The food was amazing, the beef was apparently “the best beef I’ve ever eaten” and the birthday dessert put a smile on his face (and mine)! We hope to welcome you back on our doorstep again!

We were not aware what we was going to receive as was only told to be ready for 18.30 to have dinner delivered . Was totally surprised when Ian arrived looking pristine and professional in his chef whites ready to cook us a 3 course meal on the drive . Starters were served and main was cooked to perfection followed by desert . Can not recommend this guy enough for any occasion . Brilliant service and can not commend his attitude to keep his business afloat during lockdown .
