Testimonials‘Dan was outstanding. We hired Dan to cater for 30 guests for a mixture of adults and kids at our son’s birthday party. Dan was outstanding. In the run up to the event he provided advice and guidance in crafting a menu and was really easy to communicate with.
On the day he was extremely professional and his food was delicious and our guests loved it. Some of guests said 'it was the best Thai food I've had in my life'.
Thanks to Dan for making the day extra memorable and special.’

‘Absolutely superb. Dan produced some of the most incredible Thai food I’ve ever had the pleasure eating - a fantastic combination of flavours across multiple courses - we were all very impressed. He managed to cater for various allergies (including some last minute ones) and looked after us very well all evening. To top it off, he’s a super nice guy and very easy to chat to. Would highly recommended to anyone looking to host a private dinner party.’

‘Incredible chef, great quality and amazing tasting dinner! Thank you Dan for making my birthday evening so special. Dan catered for a dinner party for 14 people al fresco, serving everything himself. The food tasted so fresh, portions were massive and everybody was so impressed and happy. I would definitely book Dan again for future events!’

‘Food was amazing for my Garden party. Dan catered for my garden party, everyone enjoyed the food. In the start-up, he was very open to discussing the menu as I had, several food requirements for my guests. He showed up with everything he needed, which was great. Prepared the food, which was delicious, and timed the dishes well, as, I wanted food to come out over the 4 hours. I would highly recommend him’

‘What a fantastic meal! Dan was faultless. He cooked us the most amazing 10 course Thai feast. Each course was truly delicious, and everybody loved it. He was really easy to work with and listened to our requests and likes and dislikes. He happily catered for different preferences too. The quality of the ingredients as well as his cooking really was second to none. We will absolutely be booking Dan again for future parties and recommending him to all our friends. Thank you so much Dan, so glad we found you!’

‘I couldn’t recommend Dan more highly! As a group of friends getting together after a long time apart Dan was the perfect chef for our event. All of us love cooking and food and could have been a tricky group to please with high standards and dietary requirements (pregnancies and allergies), but Dan took everything into account, adjusted to fit everybody and smashed out delicious dish after delicious dish. He was quick to communicate, incredibly friendly and lovely to have around on the night and left the kitchen spotless when he left. An all around pleasure to have worked with and really made our evening so special. Thank you, Dan and I don’t hesitate in recommending him to anybody-now I just need to find another reason to book him!’

Dan is very knowledgeable about everything he does and wants to make sure you have an amazing time. I would certainly recommend Dan to anyone who is looking for a private chef or cooking lessons. Highly recommended!’

‘Dan served up a phenomenal taste experience. It was a great experience from beginning to end. Dan made the process of choosing the menu easy. Ordered slightly too much food because there were so many delicious sounding choices. Dan was great from the moment he walked in the door. He was so efficient and all the food was presented and explained in great detail. The food quality and taste exceeded our expectations. Heartily recommend Dan if you want a great Thai food experience.’

‘Delicious Thai food. I would certainly recommend Dan. He has catered for a number of events we have hosted and his cooking and people skills are excellent. My team really like him and are keen to engage him for more private events. He served us a selection of tasty Thai food that he made himself, mostly in front of us!’
- Thomas Gilbert (Platform Property Ltd.), January 2023
‘Amazing! I have been lucky enough to have employed the catering services of Dan Turner on a couple of occasions. Dan is an exceptionally easy chef to work with. He is diligent in communication and ensured the banquets he prepared not only met our requirements but exceeded our every expectation.
Dan specialises in authentic Thai and South East Asian cuisine, the likes of which is just not available in your local Thai restaurant. He comes well equipped and with a glorious array of ingredients. Dan is a tidy chef and watching him work is like having the privilege of watching a masterclass. He has a natural teaching style which I selfishly enjoy. When observing Dan's cookery method I have observed how much the preparation is key to pulling together a hot delicious banquet for service.
On a couple of occasions Dan has created bespoke tasting banquets for my family and friends. The most recent being a 7 course extravaganza that ranged from crispy pork belly to slow cooked lamb in the most unctuous sauce, Bone marrow with buttery roti and seafood 'lon' relish that will leave you dreaming of having more for weeks to come, all finished with a very decadent banana roti.
Ultimately, I look forward to the next occasion where I can call on Dan to cater. The food exceeds your every expectation and guests will be bowled over by the flavour explosions. He is a tidy chef who leaves no trace, except the very welcome left overs for tomorrow!’

‘We hired Dan for my mum's 60th Birthday as we are all big fans of Thai cuisine. To say the food was great would not do it justice - it truly was outstanding. Dan was brilliant on the night, operating with calmness and professionalism. We were all blown away with every dish and will be sharing Dan's details with anyone else thinking of doing a similar thing. Thanks Dan for making my mum's birthday one to remember!
- George, Egham, January 2024
‘Dan was really good at communicating in the run up to the event to agree the budget and menu. All the guests (24 of them) commented on how delicious the food was for my husband’s 40th. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dan. Thanks Dan for a great evening.’
- Lauren, Woking, November 2023
‘We had the pleasure of Dan’s culinary expertise for a surprise birthday meal - with his helpful guidance and sample menus we decided on a full tasting menu which he adapted to our dietary requirements and tastes.
Dan was so accommodating, nothing was too much trouble and we really enjoyed learning about the dishes as they were presented to the table.
The food was superb. Plentiful, visually stunning and bursting with flavour. Such a treat at home with our kitchen left clean and tidy too.
We would not hesitate to recommend Dan, an extremely personable and talented professional chef and look forward to booking him again soon.’
- Sue, Kent, October 2023
‘This is the second time we have got Dan to our home to cook for a special event. Above all we’ve been very impressed with the delicious food, first and foremost. But aside from that, his introduction of all the dishes and his friendly demeanour made the whole experience extra memorable for us all. I’m sure we’ll be using Dan again. Thank very much!’
