We had a fantastic experience with A Chef's Pocket for our work event in June. The guys were super easy to communicate with before, during and after the event. The food was excellent and service seamless from start to finish. The beef empanadas were to die for!

Andres and Franco from a Chef's Pocket did an amazing job catering our wedding. Planning the wedding was easy and professional, and on the night the service (thanks Rose) and the food were superb. The Ceviche and the empanadas were outstanding, but all the food was perfect. The guests loved you all and had fun interacting on the night. Huge thanks

What can I say? The beauty of this magical location was equally matched by the amazing food prepared by the chefs. We were a small group of 8 which included a Vegan and 2 vegetarians. Andres and Franco rose to the challenge and even the Vegan was spotted trying some of the dishes. All was perfect and I couldn't fault any aspect of the meal...all fresh and locally sourced. Our family is still talking about the meal 3 weeks later. Highly recommend them.

A friend recommended A Chef's pocket as the caterers for our wedding and after going to one of their pop-up events, we were sold! At first, we were a little unfamiliar with Peruvian food and wondered if it was the right choice for a wedding, but the food was great and everything we love to eat, so we took the plunge. And we are sooo glad we did! Andres and Franco not only cook amazing food, they were also a pleasure to work with.

I recently booked Andres and Franco to prepare a private dinner for 8 of us at a house in Byron Hinterland for my husband's 50th birthday. I could not have been happier with the event - the food was some of the most delicious dishes we have ever eaten - our friends are still talking about the ceviche now! Not only did the guys create unbelievable food, they were friendly and fun and created a great atmosphere. They took care of everything, bringing the food, cooking, serving and cleaning up - I didn't have to do a thing except enjoy a truly memorable night.

Loved the Chef's Andres and Franco. Easy and reliable in communication and delivering as promised. Delicious food. We especially liked the Ceviche, Cassava and Empanadas. They came with all their stuff, cooked on the spot, served and cleaned up afterwards. Wished they lived in my kitchen permanently. They definitely made my birthday memorable and I can not recommend them high enough.

I cannot fault these guys. We use them to cater for our guests at our luxury accommodation in Broken Head, be it a private dinner or a 70 guest wedding their food NEVER disappoints. Imaginative, deliciously tasty and to top it off they give high-end service which isn't found very often these days. Keep up the good work boys!
