Customer Review Summary
Reviewers praise friendly service and unfussy cooking, singling out the sea bass fillet and whole roasted sea bream alongside tempura prawns and a black pudding and chorizo salad. One order of sandwiches delivered to a rainy beach, labelled by name for 20 people, was well received. One reviewer found the toasted sandwiches bland, with hardly any filling, and had to cut them in half.

“Natasha and her team were fabulous in supporting a farewell breakfast in honour of my sister . I have shared many moments eating at The Grumpy Chef with her and she love it 🥰. After much discussion I made the finally decided on a takeaway on the beach.. Natasha delivered them personally . Each request order was labelled with the individual name of the 20 people attending . We all got very wet though the sandwiches were well received and a big success .😊 Thank you Natasha and your team for making delicious sandwiches and helping things run smoothly even with the rain . You are all stars 🌟”
