The Cumbrian Chef

Wow. Just wow. Every single dish was so delicious! Julian and Annabelle were both professional and very friendly. Thank you so much for coming to cook for us all - it made our mum’s birthday that extra bit special. Would 100% recommend.

I just wanted to reach out to say a huge thank you from me and James to you and your lovely family team for everything you did for us at Bristowe Hill last Sunday! The food was simply perfect … More than we could have hoped for! We truly enjoyed every course. Everything was just so delicious.Right down to the special details, such as Liz serving us a board of vegan canapés just for the 2 of us, so we got to try everything, was so thoughtful, and we also really enjoyed the vegan cheeses in the evening! So thank you for sourcing these for us.We’ve had all of our guests saying how delicious the food was, and it really did make our day extra special. So a big thank you from the both of us for everything!!

We had a wonderful meal cooked by Julian celebrating my husband John’s 70th Birthday on Saturday. Thank you so much for making it a great celebration.

Julian's catering is a 5 star service! Julian and Liz arrived punctually and brought everything they needed. The cooking and table services were carried out very professionally and unobtrusively and the kitchen was left spotless.We enjoyed 2 evenings of catered meals whilst staying in Grasmere to celebrate my birthday with 2 groups of friends. We ordered from the Buttermere menu on the first night and from the Windermere menu on the second. All dishes were beautifully presented and tasted as good as they looked! 5 stars in every way!

Fantastic experience with easily some of the most delicious food I have ever had. I could not recommend Julian's service as The Cumbrian Chef highly enough, it made a long awaited family reunion and birthday celebration a truly memorable experience. Every single detail was perfect and the meal was simply beautiful. Julian was so friendly and kind and was happy to talk to us about the food when I started asking about how things were made. Just a completely luxurious experience, and best of all no dishes to clean up at the end of the night!!! Cheers, Julian!

Julian cooked a three course dinner for 11 guests at my hen do, plus canapés beforehand. Everything was absolutely perfect, the food choices all sounded delicious and there was something for everyone’s different tastes.The food itself was unbelievable, such a delicious meal, everyone absolutely loved it! Each dish was beautifully presented, and tasted even better!! It was better than any top restaurant I have been to and in the comfort of your own accommodation, amazing!!Julian was very professional and the service was excellent, there were no delays despite the size of the group, he explained each course while serving, and left the kitchen absolutely sparkling.I hope we get to book him again, very very highly recommend!

We had a fantastic evening with Julian cooking for six of us in our holiday cottage. The food was superb and Julian was very pleasant company while he efficiently prepared the meal. Everything was done for us from table setting to clearing up, allowing us to enjoy our family celebration to the full. Communication and punctuality were also excellent. Many thanks.

Julian cooked for 10 of us for my sister's hen do this weekend and it was perfect from start to finish. we had the Buttermere menu which was delicious, great choices and true fine dining in the comfort of our holiday cottage. Julian was professional from booking to the night itself I would highly recommend for a special occasion!

Outstanding food and service from Julian and team - the quality was on par with a top restaurant (except we didn’t have to leave the comfort of our holiday home)! A truly memorable evening and we will definitely book Julian when we’re next in The Lakes

Cannot recommend Julian enough. He’s extremely talented in what he does and provided us with a wonderful evening. Food was absolutely 5 star!
