Private chef experience · London and Manchester

    A discreet private chef for the moments worth marking

    Private dining at home, from breakfast to dinner, made special for a birthday, a milestone or simply a hard week well done. NDA-bound, DBS-checked chefs, with menus built around your guests.

    Private dinners from around £95 per head for three courses. Weekly and full-time contracts are quoted individually.

    Recommended, rarely advertised

    Much of our work comes through recommendation, so every dinner is also an introduction to the next. You deal with people, not a booking engine. Tell us about the occasion and we build the menu with you.

    Ways to hire

    From around £95 per head for three courses, up to £250+ per head for a longer tasting menu with sommelier and front-of-house support.

    Moments worth marking

    You work hard, and most days leave little time to stop. A private chef experience at home turns a meal into a pause. We care about the food, and just as much about the moment it creates, down to the printed menus, napkins and candlelit table.

    Milestone birthdays

    A 40th, a 70th, or the year you finally stopped to celebrate.

    Surprise dinners

    A tasting menu for a partner and their closest friends, hosted in your own space.

    Celebrations with a purpose

    Charity dinners, community lunches and the evenings that thank people.

    Larger celebrations

    Hosting 30 or more?

    We scale to 30, 50 and 100+ guests with a full kitchen brigade, a front-of-house team and a pastry chef where the menu needs one.

    Plates, cutlery, printed menus and napkins can be arranged. Menus can cover halal, vegan, nut-free and alcohol-free requirements within the same service.

    Every guest at the table

    We cook halal, kosher, vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, nut-free, alcohol-free and pork-free menus on request. Allergens are written into the brief and checked before service. Where you work with a nutritionist or doctor, our chefs follow their guidance.
