Frequently Asked Questions
Testimonials
I enjoy having family and friends over , and 'Sunday roast' with all the trimmings was not something I was confident doing, yet it's something that really brings a group of all ages together. I hired Nikki for a few hours on a Sunday and we prepared a Sunday Roast Beef. She sent me a shopping list beforehand (based on my likes and dislikes), then we cooked together. I made notes every step of the way, picking up on all the good hints and tips that Nikki was showing me, and then learning to get the flow of the timings just right. My husband's feedback at the end was that is was "one of the best roast beef dinners he's ever had" - and he's tried a few! It was a brilliant experience! I couldn't recommend Nikki enough with her years of cheffing experience and her professionalism, and she is also a great laugh. Learning should be great fun! Cheers Nikki!

"Nikkichef is truly exceptional! We have never seen a ‘grazing table’ like the one prepared for our anniversary celebration – nor had any of our guests. It was a work of pure artistry, with the taste to match. Just fab! Our friends are still talking about it two years on. Not only is Nikki an amazing chef, but she also treats her staff with a great amount of respect and is a pleasure to have around. We cannot recommend her services more highly".

I Have known Nikki for over year, working as a private Chef in Judges lodgings in Cardiff and Swansea. I have been extremely impressed by her cooking abilities, which are frankly superb, but also by her overall attitude. She is a cheerful and hard-working person. She is a pleasure to be around. She strikes me as also having a lively intelligence and very good initiative.

Having an allotment has provided huge benefits to myself and my clients: the quality, taste and health benefits of growing organic fruit and vegetables as well as the learning process for me as a chef have been incredible. I'm extremely proud and delighted to bring that experience to Nikkichef & Truckin'chefs

Hi, I’m not sure this is the right location but I’m looking for Nikki to cook at our Hen party? It’s in May for 12 people. Thanks Emma
My partner booked vouchers for us for my birthday, my desire was to understand & learn more about Ramen and similar cuisine. Nikki arrived with such energy and calmness that makes you feel at ease in seconds. Nikki also so brought some interesting and wonderful ingredients to cook with, it was fun full packed lesson we really enjoyed and definitely learned. It's a great idea and would more than highly recommend.
Nikki came around to my house to give me a private cooking lesson. She was amazing, so calm and patient. I felt like I was cooking with a friend I had known for years! Can't recommend her enough.
Also Have Booking with my daughter, Baking :)
We booked vouchers for a three hour cooking lesson with Nikki for our Daughters birthday party, My Daughter and five friends had a wonderful time baking with Nikki, It was fun to watch also. Nikki made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed instantly holding the girls to attention, they made a section of cakes, with wild coloured icing and marshmallows it was epic to be fair. Highly Recommend. Thank you so much Nikki x
A review that I'm most pleased in doing, Nikki thank you so much for all your hard work, care and attention to detail for our dinner party. The food was superb, a menu created in memory for our anniversary.
Our family adored you, such a joy to be around as well as a fantastic chef! x
Nikki was absolutely excellent, the whole session was both very enjoyable and also hugely informative. I had a great time and learnt loads, I cannot recommend her enough! Lovely food too! Thanks Nikki, what a great experience.
I was looking for a chef to cook for a surprise dinner, this was something I’ve never done before, Nikki made the process easy, informative and guided us through everything. The food was amazing and so vibrant, every ingredient was thought out. Nothing but wonderful things to say about Nikki. Thanks chef
Nikkichef, thank you! You are a wonderful chef. Our evening was filled with so much, you made such an effort for us, Garlic mushrooms best I've tasted, the chorizo crumb yum. Our steaks were divine, everything.. was perfect! ( When you moving in) ha!
Highly recommend.
Hi, would you be available to book as a private chef for Saturday 2nd May? I'm planning a little family party and would love your food. It would only be for 7 people and it would be a vegetarian menu. I've had your food before and really enjoyed your middle Eastern sharing platter style.
Thanks,
Hannah
