Chef Will was AMAZING for our 15-person bachelorette party. He was incredibly accommodating of dietary restrictions within the group (gluten free and vegan), and made the most delicious tapas, mains, and dessert for our party. He was also very communicative throughout the entire planning process leading up to the event. I absolutely recommend The Loving Bite for anyone looking.

The Loving bite, was great to work with. The communication was amazing. The food presentation was my favorite part. . They left the home so clean afterwards. He plated the items with such attention to detail. His prices were the best around. His assistant was so nice and helpful. Will definitely use The Loving bite again.

Highly recommend Chef Will and his team. He cooked an incredible dinner for 12 of us: apps, main and desserts were some of the best we've ever had. Very responsive, collaborative when building out the menu and extremely high quality food. Looking forward to working with Will again in the future!

Will assembled platters of meze, summer salads, grains and lentils and grilled vegetables for a large picnic at a location 2 hours' drive from his kitchen in Portland, Maine. The food was perfectly packed in coolers for punctual early morning collection at the kitchen, and labeled clearly for easy and fresh assembly in the late afternoon by the hosts at an outdoor picnic for 30 guests. Herbs, dressings, cheeses, all were stirred through the dishes according to his directions as we served them to accompany lobster and chicken and sausages off the grill. HIs food was exceptionally tasty with sophisticated use of herbs, spices and and citrus in the different dressings. Thanks for a wonderful contribution to our event, Will!
