    Cheshire is a county built for entertaining — long kitchens, walled gardens, listed dining rooms, and families who take hosting seriously. Our chefs are at home here. We cook in country estates near Tatton Park, in farmhouse kitchens around Tarporley and Nantwich, and in the new-build mansions of Hale, Wilmslow and Prestbury.

    Cheshire entertaining, done properly

    The Cheshire commuter belt around Hale, Wilmslow, Knutsford and Prestbury is dense with beautifully kitted modern mansions — open-plan kitchens, garden rooms, wine cellars, pizza ovens. Our chefs use every inch, from a six-course tasting menu to a Sunday garden lunch for thirty.

    Garden parties, christenings & family celebrations

    Summer in Cheshire belongs to the garden. We cater garden parties, christenings, milestone birthdays, anniversaries and engagement celebrations — canapés on the lawn, plated dinners in the orangery, family-style feasts at the long table.

    Sourced from the county

    Cheshire produce is some of the country's finest. We work with regional dairies, Cheshire Plain growers, North-West game suppliers and day-boat fish landed into Fleetwood — menus that genuinely taste of where you live.

    Quiet, NDA-bound and ready

    Many of our Cheshire clients are footballers, founders and high-profile families. Every chef and team member is NDA-bound, vetted and discreetly briefed on house protocols, security and household preferences.
