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.

Our ethos is very important to me, I pride myself on using locally sourced produce where possible and wherever my services are required.
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

A wonderful buffet From Nikki chef, it looked fantastic and tasted fresh and delish. It was mostly homemade and created with so much love. Nikki was professional, kind and so helpful. We would highly recommend in any event.
We were recommended Nikki, looking for a private chef and so happy we were!! Nikki cooked for 12 of our family in my home, Nikki was easy to communicate with and helped us choose a menu that worked for all of us. Everything was perfect. We had beef wellington which was sublime, and ended with a selection of homemade sweets, just delish. Nikki was more than we expected and would highly recommend. Thank you chef
Nikki Chef did a beautiful delicious grazing table, it was more than the usual grazing, so classy and lots of healthy options too. We had lots of various dietary requirements that was implemented within the graze, Nikki was so easy to communicate with, and made the process easy, wasn't over priced considering the array of food and homemade. Highly recommend. Will definitely book again.
I’m looking to book a cooking class as a Christmas present for my wife. We are both vegetarian and she already has a great understanding of cooking
