Thomas sent other chefs instead of himself, which was actually fine except for the lack of communication. The other chefs showed up without kitchen knives despite it having been agreed otherwise.
It was also just a satellite kitchen, but they were supposed to make all the food from scratch in it. That meant the schedule shifted significantly for our evening and we waited too long for the main course.
Normally, serving starts at the head table and moves down, but during the main course all the food except the sauce was served at all the tables, so the first tables had started eating the food before the sauce was served.
That said, the food was absolutely fantastic in taste and presentation.

All our guests were delighted with the food and service. Really delicious food and fine wines were served at a pace that suited the party well. Thomas made the evening a lovely experience for everyone.

I had, in my haste, overlooked that there were two vegetarians in the group and had therefore not informed Thomas. He found a solution on the evening itself without batting an eye. But he had received 5 stars anyway for the quality, presence, and overall experience.

Meet Thomas A.
I am trained from a gourmet restaurant in Inner Copenhagen, where I have learned many delicious techniques, preparations, and flavors. I am 40 years old and enjoy cooking, challenging myself, and creating an experience through my food.
The customer is in focus and will experience personal, good service
I have worked at Koefoed, Paustian, and Skindbuksen, so I have tried various styles and work situations that have equipped me to give you and your guests the best possible experience.
It is possible to mix my menus, provided everyone in the party receives the same dish.

Help
What if I haven't planned the event yet?
We recommend sending a request so you can make sure the chef is available on your chosen date.
After confirmation you will still be able to:
Change the menu and the number of courses
Change the number of guests, allergies and children's menus
Write to the chef to discuss the menu and the dinner
When is the latest I should book a chef?
We recommend reserving your date as early as possible by sending a request to the chef, especially for weekends and around holidays or celebrations.
Need a chef at short notice, or is the chef unavailable on your chosen date? Don't worry! Our customer service is ready to help you find a chef. Call us on 93 40 40 10 or write to us at
kontakt@chefme.dk
What happens when I send a request to the chef?
When you send a request to a chef, you also create a profile, so you will be notified when the chef has replied to the request. You get access to a message thread where you can write to the chef at any time and agree on the details.
Can I change the chef's menu?
You can start from one of the chef's menus or have a menu tailored to your taste.
More into fish than meat? Or do you prefer cake over ice cream for dessert? Send a request to the chef and share your wishes, so together you can put together a menu that suits you and your party. The chef can also make alternative menus based on allergies as well as children's menus.
Does the chef bring everything needed?
Further up the page you can see what the chef requires from your kitchen, and what the chef can bring. If in doubt, you can ask the chef once you have sent a request.
What do I need to take care of myself when I book a chef?
The chef handles shopping, cooking, serving and cleaning up the kitchen. So you just need to set the table, provide drinks (unless you have added a wine menu or similar) and enjoy the time with your guests around the table.
