We had Jan from the Chef Tree to cover our school cook whilst she was off. He has been fantastic, punctual and a hard worker. Great comms from them too. Will use again.

Excellent Catering Support from The Chef Tree

We recently required ongoing catering support within our school setting, and the service provided by The Chef Tree has been excellent. Communication from the team was consistently clear, responsive, and highly professional throughout.

The chefs supplied demonstrated strong consistency in service delivery and quickly integrated into our environment, ensuring standards were maintained at all times. Feedback from staff and pupils has been very positive.

We would like to extend our thanks to The Chef Tree team for their reliable and high-quality support.

It's been a while

As a wedding venue with 5* standards and expectations, we were relieved to have discovered this agency back in 2014 and they were super helpful and reliable at filling in around our staff shortages. We lost touch mainly because we had an established inhouse team, then in March 2026, we got back in touch once again when we had recruitment issues in our kitchen. Orla remembered us from 12 years ago and along with Leyna were both very accommodating sometimes at short notice in meeting our need for chefs for specific events and functions. We have even had 2 of our old favorite chefs return in the last month (Chris and Florin), and it was also great to meet John. They are all very talented and experienced head chefs and sous chefs. I guess the reason for naming everyone is to show that this is an agency who are keen to form a working relationship not just with their clients, but also with their chefs. When we found ourselves in a staffing panic recently, the agency came good and offered us a calming and reassuring service and the chefs they provided were 100% focussed on delivering excellence for our wedding guests as if they were our own employees.
Thanks everyone. Although we have our own permanent staff in place now, Its nice to have a reliable and quality contingency in place to cover sickness, holidays, and also just to provide extra help when we need it. We will definitely be in touch again soon, and are very happy to recommend the chef tree and it's services to others.

I would like to formally recognise the fantastic support provided by Orla and the Chef Tree team. They have consistently demonstrated a friendly, reliable, and solution-focused approach in all aspects of their service delivery. Their professionalism has played a key role in ensuring we continue to provide high-quality catering services to our patients, visitors, and staff.

Their willingness to go above and beyond, adapt to change, and collaborate effectively with our teams has not gone unnoticed.

We greatly value this partnership and the positive impact their work has on the overall food service experience; Thank you to the entire Chef Tree team for your continued support.

We have had 3 agency chefs and all 3 have been very friendly, professional, helpful, clean and have fitted in well with the staff team. Staff have all stated how lovely they were and the food they have provided for our residents have been made with care attention and very professional. Presentation has been amazing.

This was our first experience of using an agency and the team were very good at talking us though the process and understanding our requirements. Paul came in and immediately took some of the pressure off the team who have been so busy over the long summer. He knew what needed to be done and nothing was too much of a problem. He fitted in well and we would certainly have no prblems having him back.

High Calibre Chefs

A very professional company with high calibre chefs. The team really understand the industry and are quick to respond. Probably the best chef recruitment agency in the West Country.

People you can trust.

I have joined this agency just under a year ago. Had previous experience with them as customer and knew they are reliable and provide high level of service. They did not prove me wrong! Same experience on the other side!
