Colombian chef
in London & Tunbridge Wells

Every chef’s life is driven by passion for cooking, but Marlon really takes it to another level. His tattoos tell a story of love for food and discovering new flavours. It all started with garlic and onion!

Culinary training in Bogota, twenty years in international kitchens, and Michelin Star experience in classic establishments of Valencia, Madrid and London, blend into a unique fusion style that will make you feel nostalgic.

 

The story

As chefs are often merely guests in their own homes, doing our own thing was a lifestyle choice. Inspired by the popularity of #mkSupperClub, our pop up dinners in Fulham, we took the plunge and started a catering company.

Our business used to be defined by Marlon´s passion for cooking and Lana´s love for hosting and impeccable service. Fast forward several years, it's a much bigger team, and much more to do.

I recently attended a wedding in Banbury where Marlon's Kitchen provided the catering, and I was seriously impressed. The food was absolutely amazing - there was such a great variety, and everything was full of flavor. The paella was a real showstopper, and the scotch eggs were some of the best I've ever had. You could tell the food was made with love and attention to detail. The staff were friendly and professional, and everything was served beautifully. It really added to the atmosphere of the day. If you're looking for catering that will wow your guests, I'd definitely
recommend Marlon's Kitchen!

Wonderful Paella party in Tunbridge Wells! Marlon cooked Spanish themed dishes including various tapas and delicious authentic paella for our family event at home. We were very pleased with the quality of food and service. Well organised, professional and friendly. It took the stress away. Big thank you to Marlon for cooking and Lana for organising!

We had Marlon doing catering at our home to offer a dinner party for 8 people. It was simple fantastic! I can't not even say how wonderful it was! All our guests were so impressed by the quality and taste of everything Marlon cooked for us. On top of everything, I found having Marlon going home to cook was very good value because he makes an effort of designing a menu using local and/or normal priced ingredients. The dinner party was on a Saturday and we had food for the rest of the bank holiday weekend! I even received a card from own of our guests praising the good experience of having food cooked by Marlon 🙂 It is simply amazing!

I never miss an event from Marlon’s Kitchen as always promises to be a fantastic night to remember. They never fail to amaze me with their food because they either provide something new that I never experienced before or transform something standard using Marlon’s skills and imagination. Their events are always enjoyable with a fantastic atmosphere so I definitely recommend this to all!!!

Marlon and Team are so super kind and helpful. Nothing is too much effort for them to make your event go well. From first contact to last, simply, easy and everything top quality. Thanks!

Marlon and Lana were amazing to work with to create a special event for my friend's baby shower. Marlon was asked if he could create a meal with a number of particular ingredients and with specific dietary restrictions -- not only was he enthusiastic about it, the dishes delivered were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

I have used Marlon for a few private and company events now. It was always a great experience. Quality of food, quality of service, quality of people: all above expectations. Thanks!

I don’t typically write reviews but this was the best paella in London I’ve ever had, cooked at home by amazingly talented chef Marlon. We booked him for a birthday party in our garden and all 40 guests were raving about it. Everyone wanted seconds to take away and share with their families!! Also, dealing with Lana and Marlon leading up to the event just made things unbelievably easy; two truly kind people who go out of their way to make you feel that all you have to do is enjoy yourself. Everything was just perfect and would definitely book them again and recommend to anyone without any hesitation. The appetisers (olives, chorizo, tortilla, cheese, roasted peppers, almonds, etc) were crazy delicious too. And the churros with chocolate at the end….you MUST get the churros!! Thank you Marlon and Lana; this has been our best food related experience in London in a very long time. You were amazing!!

We had the pleasure of Marlon cater our friends birthday. 20 people and 20 fantastic meals. The dishes were classic Colombian but with a wonderful twist of a skilled chef. Every dish that was served was delicious and perfectly cooked. A special mention to the beef main, sous vide for 15 hours!Marlon and his family were also fantastic to deal with and accommodated all our needs and were extremely flexible. Highly recommended and I look forward to attending their next supper club.

Loved Marlon's lechona - a delicious and succulent add-on for Christmas 2019 and a quality product for any time of the year. Our only mistake:We ordered too little - so Always Order The Larger Portion, and not just one..!

This food is amazing! Is travelling to Colombia and feeling the warmth of its people with every bite! We are fans in my house and now our latest edition (11 months old son) is a big fan of the arepas.I fully recommend! Try it!

Whenever I see an invitation for a Marlon´s Kitchen event, I excitedly open my mail, hungrily awaiting to find out in which order my taste buds will get tantalised/flirted with first. Their Supper Club is not just an event, it’s an education and social gathering all mixed expertly together. It has all the right ingredients for a perfect evening, with Lana’s coordination and Marlon’s culinary skills and flare, the night is deliciously blended together. It’s an eagerly anticipated evening that should never be missed!

Another unmissable event this week at Marlon’s Kitchen – I can’t think of any better way to spend a weekday (or any other day) evening! Super-friendly company, awesome cuisine and fantastic atmosphere! The height of London “zeitgeist”
