Sarah took away all the hassle and ensured that we had the most wonderful birthday celebration The food was creative and delicious. We had so many compliments from our guests!

We loved having Sarah round to cook for my Mum’s 75th. She created a beautifully seasonal menu and cooked it perfectly. She was a joy to have in the house during the whole celebration, completely self sufficient and left the kitchen spotless! I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

She catered a small informal dinner party for me . It was a pleasure dealing with her - planning the menus and all of organisation was easy and she immediately understood what I wanted for the event . Her cooking, food presentation and serving clearing were all impeccable I look forward to using her services again

Sarah’s food was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully! Everyone loved the family style sharing plates which were all very generously portioned. Sarah was super communicative in the run up to the event and kindly printed out menus for me to set on the table. Her husband was also great fun and ensured everything went smoothly on the evening! The kitchen was also left immaculately- thanks SO much!! I would recommend Sarah to anyone :)

Sarah was great from start to finish - easy to communicate with, on time, very nice person and most importantly the dishes were great! 100% recommend!

It was lovely to have Sarah cook in our kitchen. She is professional and super friendly. We had a special challenge for her with a coeliac, a lactose intolerant as well as a guest with allergies - Sarah was flexible and inventive in exploring ways to make sure everyone had a wonderful meal and welcomed the extra challenge. The food was simply beautiful!

Sarah made organising a hen do one of the easiest events to organise. Sarah was responsive and very quickly suggested a menu, responding to what I had asked for perfectly. Sarah’s food was absolutely amazing, we all ate so much despite being very full! Sarah left the kitchen clean and tidy within tidying up for us to do afterwards.

I chose Sarah Nagli to cook for us for my sister’s 60th birthday we chose canapés and a late lunch for 8 people. Sarah was really delightful to deal with during the run up to the date and on the day. The food was absolutely delicious and well presented - the attention to detail was excellent. Everything was also nice and tidy in the kitchen when she left, which was a real bonus, when you are entertaining. This was a special celebration and all my family were thrilled with the experience. I would definitely recommend Sarah, and would book her again. Jill Crafer

It was a real joy to have Sarah cooking for our dinner. She was a pleasure to work with coming up with a menu. She made a great suggestion and then took my comments on board very willingly as we came to a menu that I was happy with. One of my guests had specific dietary requirements and Sarah took great care to cater for her separately which allowed me not to worry about it. All our guests commented on the quality of the food and the kitchen was left spotless at the end of the evening. Sarah was also charming with our children and very tolerant of our naughty dog!

Tina M

It was wonderful to have Sarah cook for my husband’s very special big birthday dinner for ten people. She helped me plan the menu - for canapes, mains and dessert - and arrived on the day of the dinner in advance amd fully prepared. The food was delicious and the service of the dishes was impeccable - all of my guests are still raving about it. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking to have a wonderful dinner at home with professional service and fantastic food.

It was lovely having Sarah cook a special meal for us on the occasion of our daughter's wedding. The food was fabulous and she prepared everything so quickly and efficiently, so that we were free to enjoy the evening with no demands. She is a delightful person, and we very much appreciated her professionalism and the effort she put into the evening, as well as the little touches; such as the amazing handmade macarons she included in the gorgeous strawberry meringue desert. Highly recommended.

Elizabeth N

This was the second time I had used Sarah. As before, her food was of the highest quality and much commented upon by my guests. She also coped brilliantly with my tiny kitchen and the fact that we were serving canapés in the garden with much to-big and fro-ing but all done with total professionalism. She is now absolutely my first choice for any catering and she has been used by other family members who have been similarly impressed. Thank you Sarah for making it such a memorable event.

Rebecca P

The menu was absolutely delicious and the service Sarah provided was amazing. She was responsive in the lead up to the event and nothing was too much trouble. Sarah was happy to time the meal perfectly despite us running behind. She served up 3 scrumptious courses that met everyone’s needs and left my kitchen sparkling! I will definitely be hiring her in future.
