I am delighted to provide this glowing reference for Jimi, an exceptional chef I've had the pleasure of personally dining with in the past and collaborating with. His culinary talent immediately stands out, and his creativity and expertise in crafting bespoke menus are truly impressive. As a testament to his versatility, he has worked with me on various events and brand launches. Not only is Jimi an outstanding chef, but he's also a wonderful person with excellent people skills. He's a family man with a great attitude.

Jimi has come to my home to cook for family and friends a number of times and I would recommend him without hesitation. He is super professional, he will work with you to curate the perfect menu, his food is DIVINE, and he is just such a nice easy-going guy to have in your home. My children inundated him with questions and he just took it all in his stride while preparing the food. He is also the only chef I've ever had in my home that cleans the kitchen to the same standard that I do - priceless!

I’ve had the pleasure of hiring Jimi on more than one occasion, and each time he has delivered what I can only describe as a true 5-star dining experience. From start to finish, the menus were exceptional — beautifully thought through, perfectly executed, and genuinely memorable. His communication is seamless and reassuring, making the whole process effortless, and his calm, humble approach on the day puts everyone at ease. Jimi is professional yet friendly — and nothing ever feels rushed or forced. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jimi to anyone looking to elevate a special occasion into something truly unforgettable. It is unfortunate for us that he has moved to the US,...but I wish him every success and hope to be able to hire his services again someday.
