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.

Our experience with The Chef Tree

We have recently had to use agency Chefs at our Care Home. The staff we have received have been really good. A lot of our residents have commented on how good the food has been during this period. We have also found The Chef Tree Chefs to be pleasant to work with, very accommodating and professional. Booking is easy with friendly and helpful office staff. Thank you.

We’ve been working with The Chef Tree…

We’ve been working with The Chef Tree for several years now, and I honestly wouldn’t look anywhere else for chef cover. They’ve consistently provided us with excellent DBS-checked chefs — currently we’ve got Richard and Toby in on a relief chef rota, and they’ve been fantastic.
Communication with the Chef Tree office is always reliable — Orla and Georgia are quick to respond and incredibly helpful if anything comes up, including last-minute changes.
If you’re looking for a trustworthy chef agency near Bristol or just need reliable chef recruitment support, The Chef Tree is the go-to. Couldn’t recommend them more!

We’ve had a brilliant experience working with The Chef Tree. From day one, they’ve taken the time to understand exactly what we need in our kitchen – especially when it comes to chefs with leadership, IDDSI knowledge, and the ability to slot into our team confidently. The communication from Orla and Georgia has been exceptional – they always go above and beyond to make sure we have the right chefs for each shift. Even when things don’t go to plan, the team responds quickly and does everything they can to help. We truly trust The Chef Tree to deliver consistent, reliable support – they’ve become an essential part of keeping our kitchen running smoothly.

I’ve worked along side the team at The Chef Tree and their expertise, knowledge and caring attitude just comes through from start to finish. If you want a DBS chef specialist who understands the market and what you’re up against look no further.

Maurice, the chef we had to cook for our elderly residents was on time, worked well with our staff and residents and produced excellent food that everyone loved. They said the flavours were great and it was beautifully presented. Thank you cheftree and especially Maurice.

Good chef needing minimal support

The chef was knowledgeable and was able to work with minimal staff support. The chef prepared a delicious meal that the residents enjoyed. The chef worked tidily and kept the area clean.

Five stars Cheftree's staff

Subject: Positive Feedback for Chefs Zahra and Mariusz

Dear Cheftree Team,

I am writing to provide some positive feedback regarding Chefs Zahra and Mariusz, who have been supporting Horton Cross Nursing Home recently. Both chefs have been exceptional in their approach and have made a significant positive impact on both our staff and residents.

They have built excellent rapport with everyone, creating a very welcoming and positive atmosphere throughout their time here. Their professionalism is evident in everything they do, from maintaining a clean and orderly kitchen to ensuring the highest standards in food preparation. Their attention to detail is remarkable, and they consistently leave the kitchen in immaculate condition, truly deserving of a five-star rating.

Zahra and Mariusz have demonstrated great knowledge regarding modified diets and have been very mindful of our residents' allergies, likes and dislikes. It’s clear that they take pride in ensuring each meal is tailored to meet the individual needs of our residents. I would also like to mention that our residents have been thoroughly enjoying their meals, especially the desserts, which have been a particular highlight!

We are proud to have had the opportunity to work with chefs of such high calibre and professionalism, and we feel very fortunate to have had Zahra and Mariusz support our care home.

Thank you for facilitating this excellent level of service.

Professional, skilled and knowledgable

The staff at The Chef Tree are always professional and the chefs provided are very skilled and knowledgeable. The admin team listen the your requirements and find chefs that match your needs.
They always ask the right questions particularly around allergies and meeting the customers needs and are fully prepared to start the shift with the right uniform and kit. I would recommend them without hesitation.

All round excellent and professional service.

The Chef Tree provided up with an all round excellent and professional service. From, taking our booking to the chef arriving, it was seamless and stress free.
Viorel the chef, fitted easily into the team. he was friendly, knowledgeable and adapted easily to a new kitchen environment. Food was served on time, looked good and our residents gave very positive feedback about the food. Viorel took his job seriously, noting our freezer needed to be de-iced. He then went on to do the job himself. He left the kitchen clean and tidy.
I would like to say a big thank you to The Chef Tree and would certainly recommend them.

Consistently deliver

Being a head chef one of the aspect of the job is consistency and from time to time we rely on agency to make sure we can achieve consistency
And this is why I use chef tree when needed as they constantly meet my requirements by sending very reliable chefs who knows what they are doing , can cook, adapt rather quickly to the environment and last but not least turns up on time
I cannot recommend them highly enough
There are other agency chef out there but they don't come anywhere close to the level of chef tree
Keep up the great work Orla and Co
