Ian Woodcock
Everything was simply perfect. Ian and Kylie were prompt, clean, quiet in the kitchen (as the dining was close to the kitchen). The food service was on time and our guests were blown away by the flavours on the menu.. it was an incredible experience - food and service superb. I couldn't rate the experience any higher.. will be doing this again for sure.

Amazing service and the best meal I've eaten in years - still haunted by the food! The whole family was raving. I wasn't sure what I was going to do for my birthday, with family and toddlers visiting, and this was the perfect answer. Everyone had an amazing time, and Ian and his delightful waiter weren't put off by a curious dog and toddler running around!

Madeleine (QLD)

Ian Woodcock
We had a thoroughly wonderful evening. The food was delicious, and Ian was a delight to have at our home. He was friendly and very easy going. Ian prepared a great meal, and left our kitchen spotless at the end of the night. Having a recent newborn, eating in was a great option to celebrate my husbands 40th, we were able to relax and it all felt very special. Would not hesitate to recommend Ian to our friends. Thank you for a fantastic evening.

Ian was a consummate professional from the start. He emailed and phoned me prior to the dinner to ensure everything was as I wanted it. Ian was punctual and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for him, which certainly took all the pressure off me. This was the first of my parties that I have actually been able to relax and enjoy. He presented us with a fabulous dinner and the guests are still raving about it. He came with all the equipment he required, and left the kitchen in an amazingly clean state. I would highly recommend Ian Woodcock for your next dinner party. Could not fault him. Thanks so much Ian. Kind regards - Roslyn Purcell

Chef – Frederick Marechal

Brisbane Chef – Modern French

Frederick Marechal

Chef Frederick is very well versed in Classic French venues such as Belgium’s Romeyer and the 3 Michelin star La Pergola. He also became the Head Chef at the 3-Michelin star Le Bel Ombra in 1996 before taking the reins at the 3-Michelin star La Place as the Head Chef a couple of years later. In 2000, Frederick had the honour of being the Personal Chef to the French Consul-General in Monte Carlo where he served with distinction.

It’s pretty safe to say Fredrick can cook… This level of luxury in the form of a personal chef is something to behold.

This whole experience was brilliant. It was a restaurant at home. As a host I was able to sit down and relax with friends. Tanya's food was excellent and she left my kitchen sparkling. Will always have fond memories of that night.

Anna (QLD)

Tanja Nixdorf
The offered menus were all excellent and our selected menu surpassed expectations. We had a celebration dinner with a group of 14 and made adjustments to the menu that were readily agreed to and implemented by the team. The night went smoothly and we all just sat and enjoyed the meal and conversation without having to leave the table or worry about timing or serving drinks. A wonderful and special night with friends all made possible by Tanja and her team

Was a very good experience and having done "at your table" 3 times now, Tanja was the best chef so far. Her server was also much better then the last two servers I have had.

Caleb was highly professional, the food delicious and the presentation was outstanding. My guests all complimented the chef and left with full tummies.

Andrew Barkham
Andrew's communication leading up to the event was excellent and he was very flexible in helping make the event perfect. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food with the scallops and beef cheeks being a big hit. I would not hesitate in having Andrew come to my house again!

Shannon Black (WA)

Jess Allen
Jess was an excellent chef, cooked a wonderful meal, friendly but equally stayed out of the way on a romantic occasion - he was excellent

Philip Badge (VIC)

Christian Colognesi
Christian was wonderful for our girls weekend dinner. The food was lovely, he was engaging and thoughtful, and the whole experience of organising it was simple. Thank you to everyone for a great evening

Sophie Green (WA)

Leon Poi
Wow! What an awesome experience. Chef Leon was incredible. Arrived well ahead of time, completely organised, attentive to dietary and allergy requirements, personable. Leon regularly checked in with our group of 5 girlfriends together for long weekend away, ensuring all was ok. The food was magnificent. The only issue was that we could not fit in the 5th course of a local cheeses grazing board - we were soooo full! Please assure Leon we enjoyed every morsel the next day, particularly his special 'chutney'. We could rave on about each dish, but the takeaway message is that if you are considering Chef Leon for your next personal catering event, do it! We are so glad we did :)

Jenny CLARKE (NSW)

Gavin Ong
A really fantastic evening - family dinner for 12 of us for my husband’s 60th birthday. Our 5-course meal was excellent. Stand out was the coffee marinated beef eye fillet, closely followed by the pesto sauce with the scallops - but everything was delicious. And Chloe in role as waiter made the evening very relaxing. Thank you

Rachel Nicholls (VIC)

Amanda Lennon
Amanda and Kat were both absolutely wonderful. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, the guests were well looked after and the kitchen spick and span at the end of the service. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the whole experience.

Jacki Goodridge (NSW)

Jess Allen
Fantastic experience. Food and service both exceptional. So lovely to have it all in our own kitchen and sparkling clean at the end. Guests all remarked that it was fabulous. Loved that chef Jess had grown the veggies in his own garden.

Tamieka (VIC)

Min Kim
What a wonderful evening we had last night. Chef Min and Julie worked as a seamless team to bring us three great dishes of food! Everyone appreciated the presentation and creativity - not to mention taste - of each course. Drinks were replenished as needed, and Min and Julie seemed to just know where everything was that they needed to use. I knew very early that I could just relax! Thank you for recommending them and for making it happen. We will certainly consider using you again for future special occasions.

Kathy Esson (NSW)

Frederick Marechal
Fredrick was amazing, we look forward to having him again in the future!

We had a fabulous experience and can definitely recommend the At Your Table team. Our chef - Darrin - arrived on time and after an easy orientation to our kitchen delivered delicious food at the appointed time as agreed beforehand. It was fuss free and there was no washing up to do either - taken care of. We would be happy to use this team in future.
