A SWANSEA chef has proven nobody does it better after being hand picked to cater for a James Bond themed wedding.
Bangladeshi chef Suhel Ahmed has been chosen to cook for a couple whose wedding will take place 3,000 ft above London one week from today after Skyfalling head over heels in love.
Bond fan Abdul Hasan will be marrying his partner Layla Khatun on board a jet used in the 1964 Sean Connery classic Goldfinger.
Mr Ahmed is being flown in by private plane to help cater the top table at the wedding reception which will be held safely back on terra firma but inside a Boeing 747 used in the 2006 box office smash hit Casino Royale.
The 35-year-old opened the Saffron take-away in Mansel Street in Swansea with his wife Mita four months ago.
Mr Ahmed will be cooking for 200 guests at the wedding and originally worked as a trainee chef at the Mogul restaurant in Cambridgeshire.
During his time at the venue he was lucky enough to cater for current Bond actor Daniel Craig and has been asked to help deliver food for the couple who are originally from Bangladesh and now live in London.
Mr Ahmed's wife said: "He is excited rather than nervous.
"He will be cooking a Bangladeshi dish called Elishe Dansak.
"He likes his Bond films.
"He is very happy and very honoured.
"We kind of know the couple as well.
"They are related to one of my very close friends."
The bride and groom are set to follow their not so secret wedding service by leaving for their honeymoon in a helicopter used by Pierce Brosnan during his debut as 007 in the 1995 movie Goldeneye.
Wedding organiser Captain Mustafa Azim Aolad said: "I have been given the difficult position of coordinating the Bond-styled wedding 3,000 ft above London.
"200 guests will be then dinning on a 747 that was featured in the film Casino Royale on the ground. "We got the cars, the helicopters and all the gadgets to fulfil this dream wedding."
Mrs Ahmed said her husband's family is from Swansea and the couple were keen to settle in the area and launch their own business.
She added: "He is a really good chef and he's done quite well.
"We wanted to try and open our own business and see how it goes."
