Catered our outdoor wedding- meal was well planned (so easy to work with and create the menu), used high quality foods, organic meats, and was the most talked about part of our wedding. Brian prepared tasty and amazing appetizers to start our meal which led next to the meal itself. Satisfied both meat eaters and vegetarians alike. All were happily fed and satiated. Wedding cake was made to order and even had edible orchids - perfect for our theme. Amount of food was perfect, execution and delivery of food was done as promised, prices were highly reasonable, and Brian and staff were easy and flexible to work with. He prepared food for 125 people, but it felt like he was cooking for just us. Brian went above and beyond to meet our needs and the vision we had for the food at our wedding exceeded what we had wished for. We highly recommend him for any catering event and would gladly ask him to cater for us again in the future.

I am currently employed as a personal chef. In order to keep my culinary skills sharp and to stay up to date on the latest culinary trends, I learn under Chef Brian for my continuing education needs. He is an excellent teacher. The knowledge I gain from each cooking class is invaluable to my job and me. Each class is a never-ending learning experience. I also host cooking classes at my home kitchen taught by Chef Brian. The feed back from the participants is always excellent. He has a patient and kind manner, which makes even the novice cook comfortable in the kitchen. The students thoroughly enjoy the classes, as do I. The classes are run professionally and always well thought out. It is evident that Chef is an expert in the field of Culinary. His food is outstanding! The best part of working with Chef Brian is that his food wonderful. The only way that I can describe it is that there is softness and fullness to his flavors. Everything is at the exact level of flavor and texture, which allows for a great experience in eating. He has an appreciation for fresh locally grown produce and meats and utilizes them often. I believe that appreciation adds to the quality of his final product. Working with Chef is a great experience, which I intend to continue.

I've known Brian Coffey for several years however had not had the opportunity to hire him for a private dinner party. On April 29,2015 I was moving into my new home at The Landing at Loon Mountain, and to celebrate I decided to hire Brian to do a private dinner at my home. The Drouin House Warmer Saturday May 2, 2015 ~Cocktail Reception at Six ~ Lolli-Pop Lamb Chops with Mint Pesto Pan Seared Diver Scallops with Blackberry Coulis ~ Dinner at Seven ~ Shrimp Cocktail with Remoulade Sauce Caesar Salad Dry-Aged Beef Tenderloin with Bearnaise Sauce Baked Stuffed Lobster Tail Grilled Asparagus with Fried Quail Eggs Roasted Fingerling Potatoes ~ Dessert ~ White Chocolate Mousse with Fresh Raspberries I must say that Brian exceeded my expectations in every way, the service was seamless. The food was cooked perfectly, I have to say it was one of the best meals I have had and my guests were surely impressed with the food. I am planning to have several more dinner parties and Brian will be the one I will call.. I highly recommend Brian Coffey for any function you are planning... Brent Drouin

Brian created an amazing fall in New England inspired menu for our intimate wedding in the mountains of New Hampshire. He was very easy to work with and our guests were raving all night and the next day about everything he and his team prepared. Unbelievable charcuterie board designed to impress along with wonderful hors d'oeuvres to kick off the evening - followed by quite the plated dinner complete with a palate cleanser prior to the surf and turf consisting of freshly caught scallops and grass fed beef tenderloin - topped off with pumpkin creme brulee, chocolate fondue, and fall themed cupcakes. The food was melt in your mouth quality and the service was impeccable! My now wife and I would recommend Brian to anyone looking for a private chef and will certainly be using him in the future!

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I started working with food at the age of nine. My mother was a caterer and she loved to cook. I used to stand on milk crates and slice mushrooms and peel potatoes. She passed on to me her passion for cooking and I have never lost it. In my early years I apprenticed all over the Greater Boston area in some of the better restaurants and hotels in the city. I also have a great passion for teaching the culinary arts to others. I have taught culinary at Le Cordon Bleu, Atlantic Culinary Academy, and the University of New Hampshire.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I do a lot of private dinner parties in peoples homes. I have done many weddings and rehearsal dinners.

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    I am a very personable chef. I am easy to work with and my goal is always to exceed the expectations of others. I am a family man with strong work ethics and integrity. I love talking with people about food. All food is a gift, knowing how too properly prepare is also a gift. People should feel good after they eat, if the food was properly prepared and all the nutrients in the food were preserved.
