    Quick Answers

    London at a Glance

    How much does a private chef cost in London?

    Every London booking is quoted bespoke. Pricing reflects menu complexity, number of courses, sommelier service, front-of-house staffing and venue. Share your brief, guest count and date and we'll come back with a transparent, itemised proposal — usually within the day.

    What types of events do you cater in London?

    From intimate dinners and milestone celebrations to prestigious corporate events and private chef’s table experiences, we meticulously cater to every occasion across all London postcodes, ensuring an unparalleled luxury hospitality experience.

    Do you serve London penthouses, Airbnbs and serviced apartments?

    Absolutely. Our esteemed chefs frequently bring our luxurious culinary experience to Mayfair penthouses, Chelsea townhouses, Knightsbridge mansion flats, and premier serviced apartments. They arrive fully prepared, expertly cook on-site, and meticulously clear the kitchen.

    A private dining culture written for London

    London is a city that quietly demands precision. The hosts we cook for — collectors in Mayfair, founders in Notting Hill, partners in the City — share a single expectation: the food should feel inevitable. Every menu is written for the address, the guests and the occasion, sourced through London's finest counters and plated with restraint. There is no template; there is only your evening.

    Mayfair, Belgravia & Knightsbridge

    We cater inside the city's most private addresses — Mount Street penthouses, Belgrave Square townhouses, Knightsbridge garden flats — where the kitchen is often beautiful, rarely used, and ready for a chef who knows how to leave it cleaner than they found it. Our team brings everything needed and nothing that doesn't belong.

    Chelsea, Notting Hill & Hampstead

    From elegant Chelsea townhouses overlooking the King's Road to the lateral apartments of Notting Hill and the family kitchens of Hampstead and Primrose Hill, we cook inside London's most loved residential neighbourhoods. Family suppers, anniversary tasting menus and discreet weekend lunches are quietly familiar territory.

    The City, Canary Wharf & corporate London

    Inside the Square Mile, Canary Wharf and the West End we cater daily for law firms, hedge funds, family offices and members clubs. Boardroom lunches, partner dinners, awards evenings and large-scale conference catering — restaurant-grade food, kitchen-grade hygiene, and the discretion the City takes as standard.

    Sourcing London's best produce

    Borough Market for seasonal produce. Allens of Mayfair for dry-aged beef and lamb. Neal's Yard Dairy for British cheese. Day-boat fish landed into the city each morning. Truffles, caviar and rare ingredients sourced through trusted London merchants on request. The shopping list begins the moment your menu is signed off.

    Discretion as a baseline

    Our chefs and front-of-house teams operate under strict NDAs, signed before they enter your address. We coordinate with your house manager, EA or building security, arrive in unbranded vehicles where preferred, and dress to your code. References from comparable London households are available on request.
