Testimonials
We work with chefs and venues across the East Midlands and beyond, supporting both temporary relief cover and permanent placements. The feedback below comes from real working relationships with kitchens and chefs in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Staffordshire, Lancashire Sheffield, Yorkshire, and Leicester.
I really cannot thank all at Optimal enough - after being let down by other agencies at the last minute, I decided to ring Optimal on the off-chance (a friend recommended them). They managed to find someone that evening. The chefs have been great.

What Clients Are Saying
Have used them for work and to find a relief chef can only speak highly of the team and who all communicate regularly with myself to ensure I receive the standard of chefs I need to fill gaps in my brigade.
Dominic R.
Great company who always send the quality of chef required not just a man to fill a gap as many other agencies in the catering sector do.
