Dineindulge

This is the second time I have used Poptop and it was an excellent experience.

The booking process was really simple, the company very responsive and the food and service on the night was impeccable. I would highly recommend this experience.

Very good, food was delicious and the chef was very friendly, explaining the ingredients and the taste of each dish. Overall EXCELLENT!!

We as a family have used Dineindulge on four special occasions now and opted for 9 or 10 course tasting menues.
On this occasion, our chef Henry was local to us which was nice.
He was very professional, organised and provided sumptuous courses.
He clearly described each one to us and gave us plenty of time to enjoy each course without rushing.
I have a 13 year old grandson who loves cooking - he's also ADHD so really wanted to help Henry.
Henry was very kind and patient and encouraged our grandson with plating up and decorating, adding garnishes etc. So a big thank you there.
Overall, although people may think it an extravagant and unnecessary expense, this is how we like to spend our hard earned money and be together as a family on these occasions.
I would definitely use Dineindudge again as it is our go to private Chef provider.

Lovely dining experience and amazing food. Thanks!

Great experience and great food

Dine indulge were very responsive to my queries when arranging the menu, and were able to cater a mixed group of meat eaters and vegetarians, and a guest with diabetes. Gianluca was the chef we were allocated and he was fantastic - super friendly, excellent at describing the food we had for each course and he left the kitchen absolutely spotless at the end.

The food and chef were fantastic!

Michael was brilliant from start to finish. The food was amazing

Johnny was an amazing chef, the dishes were really well crafted and all tasted amazing.

The perfect way to celebrate, absolutely amazing food and experience

Amazing night! Luca went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing evening.

Lovely food! Great service!
Perfect for our family bbq

Brilliant evening! Such a clever concept to every detail. We all had a thoroughly good time! Thank you!

Absolutely impressive experience! The chef was so nice and professional and an incredible cook. He even left the place cleaner than he found it. Would love to hire again for next event. Great service :)

From start to finish the process was so easy. We had a few people in the group with food allergies and we were given a really good variety of different options to choose from to cater to those. The food tasted amazing and it was presented beautifully and our chef was so friendly, attentive and professional. Would definitely use this service again

Really enjoyable evening. Lovely food and chef professional. Kitchen spotless after the dinner service. Very happy.

Georgina was a wonderful chef and was very friendly. The food was amazing!! All our guests were really happy and it meet the needs of everyone

The evening was very successful. Both the chef and server were excellent and left the kitchen space in perfect order. The only small criticism (and it is only small) would be that the plates used to serve the food were not always warm, and so the food wasn't as warm as it could have been on a couple of occasions. As I said, only a small negative comment on what was a hugely enjoyable event

Fantastic chef. Extremely accommodating, professional with excellent customer service.

Lewis was absolutely brilliant! He was really easy to get on with, every course was incredible and he even served the food and cleared the plates! It was a wonderful experience and I'd definitely use Dineindulge and Poptop again.

Our Chef, Lewis was spot on, explained what he was cooking, also when it would be ready.
He explained what each dish was, and if spicy or not.
Food was amazing, everyone in our party really enjoyed the experience.
Would I use Lewis again…yes.
Would I use Poptop again yes.
Communication from both Poptop and Lewis was A1.

The menu was exactly as listed but with a few tweaks the chef did to make it his own. The overall experience was perfect- Andy our chef was great. Very professional and friendly as well as being able to cope with the air B and B kitchen set up and the fact that he was basically cooking in front of us for the whole night.
We've already said we would use the service again and we're looking forward to picking the option for the menu.
Smooth and easy to complete with poptop and dine indulge

The whole event was excellent. The chef was friendly and informative and the food was superb. Left the kitchen spotlessly clean.

Jakub was brilliant from start to finish and we all had a fantastic evening. Thank you.

Phillip was a wonderful chef. The food was marvellous and incredibly tasty. Dineindulge adapted to meet our different dietary requirements and were very quick at communicating and explaining the different options available to us. We all had a wonderful evening and would highly recommend it.

Sam, the chef who is also a director of the company was amazing. He really pushed the boat out for us and made every course special. He was also so willing and accommodating in everything in the kitchen and helpful and left the place beautifully tidy for us. It was a no brainer to book this event with your company and we’re ever so grateful for how special Sam made it.

The company were super responsive and helpful, the chef, Adam was great, very relaxed and the food was amazing! We would 100% book again 😊

Booking process was easy and clear. A couple of days before the event, comms were sent to make sure we were prepped eg leave 2 shelves in the fridge for the chef, chef arrival time, tipping etiquette etc. customer service was quick to respond to any questions. On the day, chef called beforehand to check if we had any questions, they arrived on time with all the ingredients and left leaving the kitchen spotless. During the night the service was top, they used the tools in the kitchen freely so not to disturb us.

Adam was incredible - he gave us just the best meal for our hen do and every course was delicious and brought at perfect timings. He was just brilliant

Great service!

Great service!

The booking was very smooth and simple. The menus and pricing were very clearly laid out so you felt comfortable that all was above board. The chef turned up exactly on time and the food was cooked and presented beautifully and all the washing up was done so the kitchen was perfect when she left. Although we only bought an entry level package, it felt very special and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It measured up very well against faffing with taxis or minibuses in our rural location and the cost of a restaurant meal. We shall use them again.

Would definitely do this again. The chef was friendly, thorough and the food was fantastic.

This far exceeded our expectations
The chef was on time, organised and left the kitchen spotlessly clean.
The food was beautifully presented, delicious and very generous portions.
Excellent value for money but slightly too fast, the whole meal was completed in an hour, I would prefer some time between courses.

We had a fantastic dinner cooked by Chef Sam - the food was all absolutely delicious and he was great to work with - very friendly and left the kitchen sparkling! We'd definitely book him again next time we're down!

SO GOOD. Easy to book, on-point communications, service and food quality was excellent.....highly recommend.

Great service!

We hired Andy for my wife’s birthday at an amazing Air BNB in Cornwall. He was punctual, very professional and very friendly. He was happy to take pictures for us and with us. Thank you so much for making the day so special Andy. We were all still full the next morning for breakfast.

Good service would use again.

Thank you to our lovely chefs who made our 30th birthday extra special. They were lovely, professional and served good food!

Great service!

We chose to have the 9 course tasting menu as a special family dinner celebration treat. It was different to anything we've done before but we were so glad we did it as it was such a unique experience that we will all remember.
Our chef Susan was very professional and friendly and the food she made was so tasty. Portion sizes were perfect and the combinations of flavours delicious!
Would definitely recommend!

Excellent service!

I was so impressed with the two ladies that attended, the food was outstanding, we cleared all plates, they made us feel at ease in our home as thought it may be awkward eating in front of someone that just made it but it wasn’t I put our 3 kids to bed, got changed & could then enjoy a gorgeous meal with my hubby in piece. The two ladies were so polite, they explained each dish nicely & cleaned my kitchen at end & even left me some for fridge. Highly recommend amazing service 5 stars! Xxx

Great service!

Great communication with Dineindulge throughout our booking and a lovely meal prepared by the private chef for my friends hen do. We were waited on throughout each course with the added bonus of the washing up being done was amazing! 5 star service for an in-house chef.

Great friendly chef was punctual and provided excellent meal! Would definitely recommend and book again.

Amazing experience!

The food was absolutely excellent. Ross was friendly and helpful, and left the kitchen spotless afterwards. We had the best evening and wouldn’t hesitate to do this again.

Awesome! Would highly recommend to anyone. Dan our chef was absolutely brilliant.

Fabulous chef, Jonny made the experience very enjoyable, the food was amazing and every course was explained....service was perfect. Would definitely do this again

It was fantastic! Thank you so much to Chef Simon!

Amazing experience!

We had a great chef called Scott and every course was perfect! Thank you so much.

Great experience!

Great experience!

Amazing experience!

Everything went so smoothly from my first search of your site to our amazing chef Nathan arriving at the hardest holiday home to find, right on time, and cooking the most amazing dinner - thank you so much for putting us together and helping create a birthday to remember!!

Really great service, food and so friendly. Thank you!

Outstanding from start to finish. We arranged this as a 'surprise' for our good friends and Georgi delivered on every aspect. Bev was 'blown away' to quote her. The food was amazing and Georgi is a true professional in every way. If we could award 10 stars we would. We will certainly be using Georgi again in the not too distant future and would highly recommend him. Many thanks, The Ratcliffe

We ordered the wine pairing to go with our meal yet we didn't receive anything to tell us what wine went which meal. The chef made a guess but he said this should of been provided.

Great Experience

Fantastic experience! Food was great. Would definitely do again

Our Chef Michael was very prompt, the food was delicious then like a fairy he even cleaned the kitchen and filled the dishwasher.

A great experience- fantastic chef and delicious good

It was a great event, chef was excellent, amazing!

The whole evening celebrating our friends special birthday was absolutely made that more incredible by having your dining and chef experience. The whole evening was fluid without any issues, each course, plated looked like a work of art and was absolutely delicious. Adam was a delight to have in our kitchen, no fuss, no mess a pleasure. I would recommend Dineindulge to everyone (infact I have) and I would use you again in a heartbeat. Thank you

Amazing experience . Paul was very professional and made it a great experience. The food was incredible and presentation also looked great. Loved the experience

Everything was perfect, thank you Jack for the amazing food. It was all delicious

Sergei, our chef, was absolutely fantastic. Very kind, professional, and tidy! Food was very tasty and selection was great. Would highly recommend.

Stefano, our chef, was brilliant. So attentative and the dishes were wonderful. Catering to a gluten free, veggie and nut allergy with no issues at all. Really happy

What a fantastic night… our chef Jose was amazing, the food was incredible and an all round superb experience - I would definitely recommend it

Great communication from company! Chef Paul phoned day before and he was outstanding! The food was delicious and beautiful! Would highly recommend this as something different and enjoyable to do!

The chef was excellent. He was courteous, friendly, served at just the right pace and left the kitchen spotlessly clean. This was a surprise meal for a special birthday and it couldn't have gone better.

Had a wonderful evening- food was amazing. Lewis was professional - interacted with all the guest.wish I could give more than 5 stars I was more than I expected Thank You

Had a lovely time start to finish. Our chef was professional, charming, and ensured we had the best experience! Was a great treat for a special occasion - would highly reccomend

Can't fault the chef alan was great however I think the food for the amount of money possibly didn't quite match up. Also the chicken main could have done with some sort of sauce

Had an amazing time , everything couldn’t have been better. Food was great, chef Kevin was brillant. So friendly and really made our evening. Will definitely be recommending. Thankyou DineInDulge top marks.

We had a lovely evening, good and service could not be faulted! Would definitely consider this again for a special occasion.

An amazing night, the chef was brilliant and looked after everything.
All the guests said what an amazing time they had.
The food was excellent.

This was the first time we had a chef at our home but it was wel worth it. We will for sure due this more often instead having to clock and clean you actually have time to have a party! Great experience.

Wonderful experience, our chef was very friendly. Service was excellent and the food was too. He left the kitchen tidy and it was a real treat on our staycation.

Our Chef Greig, was brilliant

He was punctual, professional and very tidy, did a fantastic job.
all very relaxed and not rushed at all through the whole evening,

The food was perfectly prepared and presented. It was all very
relaxed and as a result all of us had a truly fabulous evening, and I could enjoy being the host and entertain me guest.

Over all, Great service - excellent chef - fabulous food - highly recommend.

Fantastic meal and service provided throughout. I was quite late in booking the meal, and therefore slightly delayed in finalising the payment and menu choices. The customer service team were very accommodating.
On the night our chef, Mark, was very professional and served us up a delicious 5-course meal for 6 people, none of us left a morsel! The kitchen was left spotless, and we had a great evening. Would highly recommend, and will definitely use the service again in the future.

Wow great experience just one snag dietary requirements missed but dealt with swiftly at service.

Great chef and food. A throughly enjoyable experience. Thank you.

Had an amazing experience
Food and chef were excellent
Everything was cleared away at the end

He looked after everybody really well and the food was outstanding. Thanks again and I will definitely be recommending you to family and friends.

The food was some of the best I've ever tasted, and the whole experience was really special - a wonderful evening.

Our experience was first class, arrangements, staff, and food were outstanding. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.

Lovely meal and lovely chef. Very satisfied! Very enjoyable birthday

Amazing food, very friendly chef, wish every meal could be like this. 100% would choose this service again

We had the 10 course meal. The chef was very professional and the food was delish.

Carl was just perfect for our Hen party he had a lot to put up with very loud girls ha ha
But he just got on with it and everything was wonderful . Thank you .

Fabulous evening, amazing food made by Hamza. Great service throughout, Round of applause from all the diners at the end of the meal. Worth every penny.

Really enjoyed the whole experience and the chef was both discreet and professional at all times. Will definitely arrange again!

Outstanding on every level! Communication before the event, quality of the food and cooking by the chef. Highly recommend.

We had a the best night and our chef was outstanding. It was great value for money and super efficient.

We were absolutely spoilt. The food was amazing and Paula our chef was lovely. It was so wonderful not to have to clear everything up.

The variations of courses were ideal and the risotto was delicious. A really wonderful experience that we'll repeat.

Tony was great, the food was beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. Also the booking process was efficient and very easy. We would definitely use this service again, our only regret was not taking pictures of the food!

We had a perfect evening of delicious food. - thank you!

Very efficient service to use and our chef was lovely. Menu was delicious and communication was straight forward and easy. Would definitely recommend!

Enjoyed our evening very much, chef very friendly and professional

The food and service was absolutely brilliant and so well priced. We were beyond impressed with the food and our lovely chef.

Great service and lovely food . Our chef arrived on time and was ready to go.

Food was absolutely delicious and fantastic value for Money. My Chef Sadri was a delight. Would and will be booking again.

We really enjoyed it, so easy and stress free and most importantly the food was great too.

We loved Joao, he was incredibly professional and left the kitchen immaculate. The service was lovely and very much at our pace and he was very friendly. We were blown away and would highly recommend Dineindulge!

Great service, thank you to Chiara and Dineindulge.

Excellent work Chef Johno! Great flavours and very accommodating....thanks for making it such a special evening! Cheers!

Jonathan was very friendly, professional and produced great food.

The only issue was that he said he had only been told about the vegan one day before the dinner party so hadn’t had time to get all the ingredients for the vegan’s meal eg he served her strawberries for dessert. This was a little disappointing but not his fault.

Excellent food and right on time!

Really great experience, very responsive and adaptive to allergies. On the day, came right on time and food was delicious. Wish it was a little warmer but there were a lot of us. Really realible, good food and worth the money. Would definitely use again! Thanks

I’m impressed with the service of the company.
The quality of food wasn’t great.
The starter was very good.
A risotto for main was not cooked and lacked the creaminess a risotto should have. Lacked seasoning and Parmesan.
A chocolate brownie for desert that tasted nice but was too powdery.
I felt a basic menu such as this should have been executed to a higher standard.

The chef was a nice guy but the food wasn’t quite as good as we expected. Didn’t justify the price paid

Our chef was lovely, the food was delicious and we had an overall incredible experience!

Overall the service was good. The chef was friendly and her food tasted really really good and was well presented on the plate.

The downside however came after the event and when we went into the kitchen. The dishes had to be redone as they were not clean. The cooker had to be cleaned as it was dirty (oily and greasy). We later discovered that our spatula had partially melted, it must have been placed on a hot hob as one of the hobs has what looks like melted plastic on it. This was quite disappointing as cleaning up after is promoted heavily by Dineindulge.

Food was great and we had a lovely evening all round. Kitchen was left clean and tidy afterwards. Thanks very much for your help

Food was cooked splendidly and presented well. I think maybe just more menu choices right from the start perhaps.

Lovely Chef, we choose the Christmas menu and had a great evening.

Jerome was superb and the food was out of this world. Very different to what I expected as it was such great quality.

Food was fantastic, our chef Pete was unobtrusive and very polite. We had the 9 course dinner for 4, and all enjoyed every dish. A couple of points to improve and take the experience from a 4 to a 5: chef arrived half an hour late (no big deal for us on the day), and chef could have announced each dish as it came out - we had to rely on the online menu at times. Finally there were a few items on the menu that were not available - Pete explained what was different and it was due to wanting to give us the freshest ingredients - it all tasted great so we really didn’t mind. Overall would recommend.

Due to the primary chef contracting covid I had to rebook another company for that same week. Dineindulge were very responsive and were able to find another chef with only a few days till the event. It was booked as a 5 course taster with the menu confirmed prior to the event. Unfortunately what we received was only 4 courses and of this, not all of the menu ingredients were available for the chef to purchase. Our chef was very friendly and made the event enjoyable. My issue is more with the advertisement of a menu that was agreed and fully paid for in advance but was not deliverable. We did not get the dark chocolate delice & honeycomb & ginger & white chocolate mousse dessert, the crab ravioli was missing from the starter as well as a few other items listed in the menu.
I purposefully ensured all 7 guests had the same menu, to keep it as fuss free as possible, so this was a disappointment particularly as the confirmed menu had been sent to everyone bar the birthday man. This was a surprise 50th so it didn't go as perfectly as hoped. I would think those paying for the service would prefer to know beforehand if certain produce can not be sourced rather than finding out on the night, with possibly other options made available instead.

There was no real stuff cooked at home, everything was takeaway and very quick. Whole meal / event lasted 1h .. disappointed from the experience

Cancelled on week of event

Cancelled by Dineindulge. Deposit not yet refunded and despite copy emails to pop top you don’t seem to have acknowledged the cancellation!! Nor to be ready to return the deposit.

This event was cancelled 4 days before and I am still awaiting my deposit refund. Deeply disappointing

My event was cancelled by Dineindulge 3 days before the event due to unforeseen circumstances.

Our chef cancelled with less than 24 hours before the event so we ended up having take-away pizzas for our celebration. I wasn’t going to complain but you have asked me for a review and that is what happened. Dine Indulge have offered me £100 credit as compensation, which I am grateful for and will use. However, I would be reluctant to end up in the same position again. It could have been a disaster!

The chef was okay but the quality of the actual food was really poor, fillet steak was inedible and the cod was like a baby food also Inedible. The starter was cold overall very disappointed and wouldn’t use this service or recommend again.
