Had a party for 12 on the 10/01/25. It was excellently catered by Loic, so much so it was better than the Chewton Glen which was also excellent, but Loic had the edge.Can’t recommend him highly enough. Don’t hesitate to use his services.

We rented an Airbnb for my sister’s 30th birthday in Sandbanks, and had the idea for a chef to come cook for us one evening. We found Loic online; from the get-go he was unbelievably friendly and happy to adapt the menu, accommodating our preferences and working within our budget.On the day, the meal he cooked for us was exceptional - absolutely delicious, beautifully prepared and presented. The photos really do not do it justice, but it was very high-end restaurant quality food and presentation from the comfort of our home.We also changed the timings on the day, which Loic happily accommodated; I really could not recommend him more. It really was such a special evening, and I would recommend him to anyone!!

Fantastic! Couldn't recommend highly enough. My family have used Loic for several parties and family events, he's consistently over delivered and always been incredibly professional.I now use him for my own parties.If you want to impress your friends with some incredible food from a highly versatile chef then look no further.Loic takes his own dishes away, so your kitchen is left spotless! Thanks again Loic

We had an amazing time celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary with a chief who really knows his stuff. He was helpful with menu suggestions, for seasonal produce, and catered for all of our guests requests.Loic always replied to my questions promptly. He arrived to the event early was shown the kitchen & where stuff was kept. The food was brilliantly cooked everyone enjoyed their meal & sorbet.Loic cleaned the kitchen throughly, after himself also the dishwasher was loaded & put on.

Loic was amazing in producing perfect breakfast, lunch and dinners. We especially enjoyed the mushroomRisotto and the pork cheeks. Absolutely delicious. .

I've been lucky enough to have a number of meals cooked by Loic and I can say that every single one was outstanding.Every single dish was inspired, flawlessly constructed and absolutely delicious.Everything I tried was Michelin star worthy gourmet food. Loic is precise, punctual, well prepared, and very tidy. Above all he is friendly, enthusiastic, and an absolute delight to meet.I cannot recommend Frenchman in the kitchen enough to anyone looking for a luxury private dining experience.

Loic is one of the nicest, most professional chefs we have ever met. He catered our wedding which was 34 people, he managed the kitchen incredibly. The food he produced was of the absolute highest standard - I am talking michelin star levels and replicated it 34 times with ease. His bread is probably the best ive ever had. The kitchen was cleaner when he left than when he arrived. Price was also great. I would trust him with any event. People having been telling us its one of the best meals they ever had, let alone at a wedding.We also hired him to cook lunch for our family and are hoping he will come back in the lead up to Christmas and cook for us again.Thank you - Aryan and PetraPictures of the canapes above.

My Husbands company (NWJservices) employed Loic for the Xmas thank you's on Sat 14th Dec, we were ten (10) people, the Frenchman Chef prepared, cooked & served to perfection on his own, there were also some special surprise treats.... you need to hire him to find out what they could be.Outstanding is the word, value, quality, taste, service and smile are the states.Booking again next year.

I went with my wife and parents, we have eaten the Frenchman's food before, only this was somehow different, the feel of the food and the evening was home. The Pisaladiere was to die for, as was the stuffed artichoke and the Duck à L'orange, not to say the other offerings were not of the highest standard, because they were, just those three stuck out for me. Pairings of the wines was, also for me spot on, and being able to order said wines direct from him was a bonus.A privilege to have been able to attend this event, can't wait for the next.

We had the pleasure of Loic's catering for my Mother's birthday, the food was stunning, it was fine dining restaurant quality but in the comfort of your own home. We really enjoyed his service and his delicious food and would highly recommend!

Loic was recommended to me by a work colleague who knew his cooking and I used him for a surprise birthday party for my wife. I gave him a budget told him what the 8 guests liked and together he came up with a menu that looked really enticing.On the night Loic arrived early, cooked and served each course telling us about each in detail.Each plate looked amazing and tasted amazing too, and Loic also gave us some really tasty surprises in between the courses that I didn’t expect .All 8 of us really enjoyed the meal, and I was delighted with the bill as the quality of the food would have cost us at least three times as much in an upmarket restaurant.I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and I and the guests are still talking about it months later!

Absolutely amazing meal cooked by Loic. The best beef tartare I have ever had! Michelin star food cooked in our own home, fantastic.

While renting a holiday home in Sandbanks we where looking for a private chef. We found Loic and he prepared for the fourteen of us an exquisite and amazing French menu. Food was beautiful to look at and of course to eat ! It was really easy to organise as Loic came and took care of everything. We just had to provide our own wine, seat and enjoy ! We highly recommend his services.

I can only highly recommend Loic's services. He catered for our parents' wedding anniversary lunch and all the guests were impressed about his food. Thank you again!

We hired Loic Gratadoux for a private birthday party for 12 people at our home. Everything about the experience was wonderful. We discussed and agreed on all the dishes and wine recommended to accompany the food prior to the evening. Loic was very friendly and professional, and the food was amazing. Would highly recommend.
