We held a small family wedding at our home and employed Harper Fine Dining for food and wine. This was all done at very short notice on our part, and Dean and his partner were incredibly attentive and organised during the planning period. They visited our home and talked through the afternoon and evening celebration with us which was incredibly helpful. We also had to make some last minute changes and they were very accommodating, and always available by text or call. The service they provided was excellent. The chef Greg and waiter Nikos provided for the actual day could not be faulted. The vegetarian meal was absolutely outstanding, top Michelin star quality and the waiters warmth and attention to detail was just brilliant! We couldn’t be happier. Harper Fine Dining really made our wedding a truly special occasion. Thank you!

The experience to have fine dining at my home was amazing! We had Kim as our chef her food was just marvellous. All our guests were blown away by her cooking. We had Fabio as our waiter he was super friendly and professional. Can't wait to host another dinner party and use these guys again.

Michelle and her team organised most fabulous birthday for me, actually I would even say my best birthday yet. From our first meeting, Michelle was very professional and she is clearly very experienced at planning high-quality events. On the day of the birthday, her team arrived and knew exactly what to do and were very experienced. The waiting staff set a beautiful table and assisted me at every stage possible. The chefs delivered a fantastic dinner, being a chef myself, I set very high standards and I was completely blown away. The food was both original, well-presented and most importantly incredibly tasty. If anyone is looking for the best event organiser in London, please use Harper Fine Dining, i promise that they will exceed your expectations.

I recently arranged to have a large lunch for 40 people with Harper Fine Dining. The whole experience from start to finish was exemplary. Every request was listened to with care and attention. The lunch itself was delicious and the service was impeccable. I cannot wait to have another celebration. Many thanks to all the team

Incredible food and a fantastic team ! No request was too difficult. From start to finish communication was excellent and effortless. I couldn't recommend more highly - Thank you Dean, Michelle, Tom and Pam for delivering such an excellent dinner party !

Its our second time using Harper Fine Dining, and i am pleased to say it definitely won't be our last, this time round it was for my mum's 60th birthday, we hosted for 19 guests in total, the food was incredible, the staff were super friendly/professional and the service they provided (on both occasions i may add) was above and beyond. Thank you to Dean, Sean, Lilly & Gabriel for all there effort & hard work, every one of our guests were left more than satisfied! :)

I couldn't recommend Harper Fine Dining more!! The whole team from first contact through to after our experience were absolutely fantastic! We booked for my husbands 40th birthday, Harper Fine Dining made it a truly memorable evening. My husband, myself and our guests had a wonderful evening, the food was without a doubt some of the best food we have ever eaten - thank you David. And Cip our waiter for the evening was perfect, he was so helpful and kind. We are looking forward to arranging another evening sometime soon! Thank you again Harper Fine Dining!!

We used Harper Fine Dining to celebrate my 40th and it was absolutely fantastic. Michelle and Dean spent time with us upfront to make sure we got everything we wanted, and Michelle was so helpful in sorting out the last minute details. The food was delicious cooked by Sean and Gabriel, and we also had Richella as sommelier for the evening and Lillie as waiter. They all did a great job and were so respectful of our home, we would certainly use Harper in the future and recommend to anyone looking for a private dining experience

Harper Fine Dining provided us with 2 exceptional guys Neil and Peitro to cook and serve us for Christmas lunch in our home in December. This was the best decision I ever made. It took all the pressure of me, from the shopping to the prepping and spending Christmas Day with my head in an oven. We were actually served canapés and champagne prior to lunch which was superb. I actually managed to take part in the family day. From start to finish this company was incredibly professional and their communication was first class. The attention to detail was outstanding and they were very flexible to our requests of tweaking the menus suggested! The food was in abundance and truly tremendous with the biggest bonus that kitchen was immaculate after. I can’t recommend this company more highly and I certainly can’t wait to have an opportunity to use them again. Many thanks for making Christmas Day easy for me.

C. E.

Thank you, Dean, Michelle, Sean, Ruby and the team for your professionalism, friendliness, attention to detail, thoughtfulness and guidance for our intimate wedding event at a private venue in the Lake District. The canapés and meal were absolutely delicious, and the standard of service was impeccable. We appreciated your flexibility in planning in advance and adaptability to working in a private venue, including meeting a variety of dietary requirements and offering a high quality children’s menu. Thank you!

Michelle & Dean Harper made the who process, from the initial enquiry to finalising menus, so easy. There were really quick to respond and incredibly helpful. Kim cooked a michelin quality meal for 10 guests at our home and we couldn't fault a single course. Giulia was our waitress for the evening and she was also truly amazing. Fabulous service and she interacted brilliantly with our guests. Would highly recommend and we will be using them again! Thanks for making my husband's birthday such and amazing experience.

T. r.

helpful & friendly staff. absolutely beautiful presentation with all the trimmings, and it was one of the biggest hits of the whole party. our guests have not stopped commenting how great was the steak. The chefs used our kitchen to prepare all the meals and they left it sparkling clean and organised. it was like they had never been there before. Would definitely recommend & use Harper Fine Dinning again. would just like to thank Harper & the girls for helping to make my party such a success.

A. S.

We were fortunate to discover Harper Fine dining at very short notice for my 40th birthday celebrations and can only say that it was one of the best finds ever! The team were nothing short of superb, well presented, professional, friendly and extremely accommodating. The food, cooked by Sean the Chef, was well received and utterly sublime. I highly recommend Harper Fine Dining for any event, you will not be disappointed. Truly exceptional!

L. F. V. M. G.

Beautiful experience from all points of view. A fast, professional team, able to grasp the customer's needs in detail, making the moment that is being celebrated unique and special. Optimal quality of food and presentation of courses. Top of the range service. Last but not least, the kindness of every person we met in this fantastic company. Highly recommended. Thank you.

C. F.

I Contacted Dean regarding a a chief for Christmas Day . dean was extremely helpful, and took all the stress away and made all the arrangements for me. The Menu was fantastic , the food was amazing and it was such a delight and pleasure. I can recommend him and his team enough.

H. D.

Very good experience with Harper Fine Dining. Help with planning and menu selection, including dietary restrictions. Personal visit to my home before the event. Then on the day the great Team of Anthony the chef and Lilly the waitress made the whole evening stress free and relaxing. The food was wonderful, beautifully presented and everything went like a dream. Can I do it again tomorrow please?!

E. J.

We had the most fabulous evening thanks to Harper! Organisation was seamless, the evening ran really smoothly and our kitchen was left clean & tidy. Having a chef like Santosh cook in our home was also a massive privilege. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

R. M.

I did a 60th Birthday party for 8. Neil (chef) and Lilly (waitress) were truly top notch (and my crew are demanding!). Highly professional and delightful people too. They were good enough to flex with the evening as it ebbed and flowed too. Will use HFD again.

I Hired Harpers Fine Dining (HFD) to cater for my 40 something Studio 54 themed birthday party in my home. Michelle and Dean are a talented team of organisers, who initially met in my home to discuss how to utilise the space and finalise the menu. HFD provided a good variety of dishes to choose from. And are very patient with sudden changes during the decision process. Their clarity in guest numbers vs cost per person was accurate and enabled the evenings food sensations to flow with ease and enjoyment. HFD are very competent, professional but at the same time always stuck to my brief and enabled me to host a unique experience. My party had 70+ people attend across the generations from teens to grandparents, all had a great time. All host’s secretly want to hear they hosted a fantastic party. I can genuinely say HFD helped me host one of the best birthday parties in NW London 2021! I also had a lot of comments on the staff being very friendly, attentive, and approachable. My experience as a host was no different. They are an Excellent Team! I would absolutely hire them again. As an additional pro review, I hired a separate company for my cocktails and music. HFD staff integrated themselves and worked amazing well alongside our additional entertainment. 5*****

Dean's company recently prepared a Birthday Vegan meal - a delicious selection of canapés, starter, main and dessert - every dish was exceptional. A cacophony of taste sensations. His team are utterly professional and it was like eating Michelin quality food in our home!

J. S.

I contacted Harper Fine Dining and got in touch with Dean! In less than 24 hours i had to arrange a sit down dinner meal for my family. Dean was so helpful with personalising a menu for my family with a quick turn around. He arranged a waitress and a chef for the next evening. The staff arrived on time and what can i say! The service and food was out of this world! I've never done something like this before and i can assure you it was worth every penny! It felt like being in a 5 star restaurant, the service was second to none. The waitress was always on hand to top up any drinks and there was always extras in terms of food, The food was so succulent and tender not to mention how yummy it was! I have recommend this to all my friends and family! Thank you once again to Dean and his staff, We really do appreciate the efforts you went to. Will be contacting you guys again sometime in the near future. Jag and the family x

I recently worked with Harper Fine Dining in the summer and I highly recommend them. Lewis created an exceptional 7 course tasting menu for my clients and delivered it in some incredibly trying circumstances. He and the team were friendly, professional and a joy to work with and I'd love the opportunity to work with Harper Fine Dining again!

C. C.

I would like to thank you and your team for the fantastic experience we had on boxing day! Ben and Flav were great, the food and the service was second to none and they worked so hard on the day.

E. P.

We worked with Harper Fine Dining for our wedding in August 2020. They worked closely with us and one of their excellent chefs Lewis to create the perfect menu for us. We are picky foodies that really value exquisite dishes and the culinary journey as a whole. HFD helped us create a menu that was suitable for all of our guests and pulled our favourite dishes and flavours from around the world. Lewis was brilliant to work with when he came to our home to do the tasting (and left my kitchen spotless!). He is a truly talented chef and I wish him nothing but the greatest success. Excellent choice if you are looking for the real 'wow' factor for your event or party.

M. M.

I thoroughly recommend Harper Fine Dining as a recruitment company for HNWI roles. Through their own personal contacts in the industry, they secured me an amazing Chauffeur position. Dean and Michelle took time to develop a relationship with me, to fully understand the role/family that I would be best suited for. From start to finish, they were professional, in constant contact and always provided helpful feedback.

A. L.

What a memorable experience! From the moment Thomas and Ciro arrived they were in control. They managed everything from laying the table to clearing up at the end. The menu we chose was perfect for a summer's evening and my party of 10 enjoyed all the food and presentation. Ciro was particularly masterful in tending to my guests with his gentle and unobtrusive service throughout. The whole event was managed with true professionalism. For me and my husband the evening was perfect enabling us to enjoy without any pressure!

I thought I would arrange a surprise birthday present for my wife, who loves her restaurants but was pregnant last year and couldn't visit a restaurant this year due to lockdown. After researching online and comparing the various alternatives I opted for Harper Fine Dining, which turned out to be the right decision. Not only did they have a truffle menu, which I knew my wife would love, but Dean and Michelle never failed to be friendly, efficient, and quick to respond to emails. Having never hired a private chef before, they talked me through everything and even came to visit me ahead of the day. Our chef, Lewis, was extremely friendly and considerate, making us feel at ease. Which brings me to the food. My wife and in normal times enjoy eating out at some pretty nice restaurants and it's fair to say that Lewis's food was up there with some of the best we've been to. His truffle veloute, we both agreed, was one of the best dishes we'd eaten in years, it's just a shame there wasn't more! Needless to say we had a great time and my wife was very impressed. I can't recommend Harper Fine Dining enough.

T.

I had a private dinner party for 18 people in my home. Great service from Dean and his team of 2 chefs and 2 serving staff. 100% excellent all round. We were having a very informal dinner and wanted exceptional food and lots of it. I was concerned that “fine dining” can mean small taster portions, My concerns were unfounded. We will without question or hesitation be using Dean again. Not cheap but then the best never is. Well done to everyone who was involved in delivering a great evening. Tony.

P. E.

We have used Dean and his amazing team of chefs and waiters on several occasions including Christmas Day. Each occasion we were in food heaven, the quality and flavours were amazing and beautifully presented. They were all very professional, discreet and friendly and left the kitchen immaculate. It was such a special treat if I could I would hire them everyday!! I hughly recommend Dean Harper fine dining to turn a special occasion into an amazing occasion! Many thanks Dean.

R. M.

We hired Dean Harper for a special birthday celebration over the festive period, we didn't know what to expect but the evening was incredible from start to finish. We had a fantastic team who arrived very excited about the night ahead and it put us all instantly at ease. I dealt with Dean from the beginning and he was very attentive to my needs for the evening and made sure all our dietry requirements were recognised. We all had a brilliant evening with delicious food, wine and service to match. My only feedback would be for the wine to be described at the same time as the food is served so that the food doesn't go cold. Thank you Dean and the team!

J. B.

Harper Fine Dining were outstanding when we booked them for a private dining experience at a family home. Dean and Michelle accommodated our last minute request to the highest standard. Highly recommend & we will definitely be booking them again. Thank you for a fantastic evening!

S. L.

Thank you to Dean, Michelle and team for the most memorable night of fine dining in our home. The event was for my mums 70th and Dean created the most delicious menu that started with canopes and champagne and even went out of his way to create a dessert for my mum who is diabetic. The team left our home lovely and tidy and we’re really relaxed to be around. Dean and Michelle were really accommodating with the menu and seemed to put a lot of effort in to the planning and preparation. We haven’t stopped talking about the evening, it was such a special experience. Thanks you xxx

E. H.

Where to start with Dean and Michelle, first they are incredibly approachable and friendly almost like an instant friend. Their passion for food is almost enviable, not only are they knowledgable but they have a wonderful team who all specialise in different aspects for your event. The dining experiences I have seen have been incredibly well organised with the finest attention to detail. They work to such a high personal level it feels like it’s tailored just for you. I would highly recommend Harper Fine Dining if you are interested in a dinner party or event that has a customised feel to it. Simply outstanding!

K. G.

We cannot thank Dean and Michelle enough for our wonderful experience celebrating our special wedding anniversary. From our first contact with them, everything went smoothly and their attention to detail from the personalised menus to the wine recommendations and supplying us with a fantastic chef and professional waiter, who were not not only attentive but also left everything pristine. We can’t wait for our next celebration where we can repeat the experience and would certainly not hesitate to recommend them.

We booked Dean Harper Fine Dining for a private dinner party for 12 to celebrate my husbands 40th birthday. We opted for a 6 course plus paired wines. When you are spending such a large amount of money, it is a little worrying about what to expect, however, we had no reason to worry! The team arrived promptly and the entire evening ran like clockwork. Nothing was too much trouble for Ian and Verity who unexpectedly served G&T’s and beers to our guests on arrival and left the entire kitchen looking like it hadn’t even been used! The team made it a fun evening not taking themselves too seriously but remaining professional. And the Sommerliers delivery of the wine along with his humour went down a storm! Of course the wine was exceptional and matched to the food perfectly! The food was absolutely amazing!! I had asked Dean if they could incorporate some Lancashire elements into the menu which they tailored beautifully- from the local egg for the Scotch egg starter to the Lancashire hotpot in the lamb dish! Ian explained all the Lancashire elements for each dish which was a lovely surprise for my Lancashire born and bred husband! In short, if you are thinking about booking Dean Harper Fine Dining, do it! You will not be disappointed! We just need to think of another excuse to book them! Thanks again Dean and the team for making our event such a memorable one.

We used Dean's services in March 2017 for my husband's 50th birthday celebrations. His team did an amazing job of preparing food which in our opinion matched any of the finest restaurants we have visited. The waitress service was also outstanding. The kitchen was left immaculate at the end of the night. I would definitely recommend Dean and his team and would not hesitate to use them again should the occasion arise. Many thanks for helping to make my husbands birthday an amazing and memorable occasion. Lisa and Nick Eckersley

We are a group of 11 very picky foodie Americans. Dean and Michelle’s staff prepared a 5 course unbelievably delicious meal for us when we rented a Manor house near Mold during Christmas week. We were easily able to organize the menu and details from Chicago. Our emails were answered very quickly. Most importantly, the chef and server were awesome. The food was very delicious and so elegantly presented that I would like to invent a new superlative. If you retain Dean Harper Fine Dining, you will not be disappointed.

J. W.

What an amazing experience! It’s not the first time we have used Harper Fine Dining and I was meaning to write this review a long time ago as I was amazed with the service from the very start when I first made the enquiry. I am the Uk Director for Harley street healthcare and we often have to throw dinner parties for staff and friends. I am not one for cooking so I always contact Dean and he acts promptly and efficiently to fulfil all of our needs. The food is so fresh and they present it to an unbelievable standard, and it tastes as good as it looks. I’ve got to know the team at Harper Fine Dining all lead by Dean Harper the founder and it is a great luxury when we meet. Looking forward to our next special occasion which is December. Can’t wait. Highly recommend this friendly, no stress brilliant company. Thanks again to Dean and his team for everything. Regards, James.

When I got married I had a family party at home the next day for family and closet friends -about 30 in total. Dean worked closely with me and my husband to agree an amazing Italian meal-what I can I say only that it was fantastic .The menu was imaginative and the food of the finest quality -it definitely made the day at home really special.Dean was supported on the day by Michelle and together they make an unbeatable team and have now become part of our family and friends. Three months later we hosted a similar day at our home for our son and daughter in law -it was equally as wonderful but this time inspired by French cuisine . I can't wait to ask them again and could not recommend them more highly -Jayne & Chris

K. M.

Cant recommend Dean Harper fine dining enough. This is the third time we’ve used Dean & his team & we were not disappointed. Christmas Day, both food & service were simply exceptional. We won’t hesitate in booking them again for next year. Thank you so much it was a day to remember.

J. C.

Organising a 60th birthday party for my other half is not easy, especially as our Grandson has the same birthday so it has to be a joint venture, but Dean and his team made it a walk in the park, they arrived and you just felt you could relax. The food was exceptional, even the grandchildren enjoyed the canapes which were adapted to suit, the rest of the food did not disappoint. Waiter service was impeccable, even down to serving a Batman cake and a M&S fruit cake complete with candles. I would thoroughly recommend Dean and his team to anyone, very professional and family friendly.

P. W.

Hi Dean, Saturday evening proved to be a memorable one, not least because our guests loved the concept of fine dining at home! The food was simply delicious. Ian, Agnes and Alex were superb in ensuring that all our needs were met, professional but personable and an absolute asset to you. We can't thank them enough for making such a difference to our celebrations. We hope to use your services again in the not too distant future. All the best Peter and Milica White

K. G.

My husband arranged this fine dining experience for me for my 50th birthday and it lived up to expectations and more. From the first meeting,with Dean and Dario the sommelier, through to the event itself we were very impressed. We have dined in many expensive restaurants but having the same experience at home is far more enjoyable. We were lucky enough to have our own wines with the meal and Darios's choice with full explanation added that extra special touch. We will definitely be booking another evening. If you are hesitant about spending that extra on a meal don't think twice, you won't be disappointed.

I. M.

What can we say?...from the initial contact to the big day Michelle and Dean were a pleasure to deal with and really professional. We had 16 for Christmas Dinner and Matt Agnus and Anna were amazing. If your thinking of using Harper fine Dining do not hesitate...get it booked! Cheers Guys from all of the Mercer family!

M. S.

Fantastic night!! Thanks so much, Ian and Agnes were amazing and both the food and service were excellent. All the guests had the best night and commented on the quality of the cooking. I didn’t have to lift a finger, they were a great team and had everything covered. The kitchen was immaculate at the end of the service. I would definitely recommend Dean Harper Fine Dining.

J. C. (. C. O.

We have used Dean Harper and his very professional team on a number of occasions for special events. He has never let us down, the food he prepares has always been top quality and has matched if not exceeded that of some of the finest restaurants. We have no hesitation in recommending his services. John & Kate Corfield.

J. A.

Used Dean's services in Jan 2017 for a special birthday. His team did a fantastic job of serving a five course meal with paired wines to sixteen guests. I thoroughly recommend him.

P. H.

Harper put together a top class chef and sommelier, and managed a perfect wedding breakfast for us. I can’t fault the process or the outcome.

E. J.

I used Dean and his team to work with me on finding a unique and difficult chef position, due to the skill set and experience required. They filled this position quickly and were easy to work with. Always responsive at any hours, which is the key for working with HNW clients.

W. S.

Michelle and Dean recently placed me as a private chef to a UHNWI in Kent. All the way through the recruitment process they were supportive and kept me informed on how things were moving along. They are highly professional and looked after my best interests which I am grateful. Many thanks

T. G.

Beginning to end the experience was fantastic. From the initial consultation with Dean, through to the delivery from his superb team (chef, waiting team, crockery etc.) it was personal, professional and attentive with a superb quality of food and ingredients. Its has been the main talking point of my party for months after!

We hosted a private dinner party at home for 6 people with Harper Fine Dining. Right from the start they were responsive, accommodating and flexible to our requests. Dean and Michelle came to visit the property beforehand to ensure that the evening ran without a hitch. On the day, the chef and waiter were professional and efficient. The taste and quality of the food was second to none and the waiter anticipated our every need. A superb evening was had by all. We will definitely use their services again.
