PRIVATE DINING
Restaurant-quality dining in the comfort of your own home
Whether you're celebrating a birthday, anniversary, family gathering, dinner party or another special occasion, private dining allows you to enjoy a restaurant-quality dining experience without leaving your home or chosen venue.
Instead of worrying about cooking, serving or washing up, you can spend the evening enjoying the company of your guests while I take care of everything, from cooking and serving each course to leaving your kitchen clean and tidy at the end of the evening.
Sit back and enjoy the evening
One of the biggest advantages of hiring a private chef is that you get to enjoy your own event just as much as your guests.
I'll arrive in plenty of time to prepare for service before cooking, serving and presenting each course throughout the evening, allowing you to stay at the table instead of disappearing into the kitchen.
Whether you're hosting at home, in a holiday cottage or at another venue, you'll receive the same friendly, professional service and attention to detail that has earned me more than 70 five-star Google reviews.
Why choose a private chef?
Private dining offers everything people love about eating out, combined with the comfort and privacy of staying in.
There's no rushing to a reservation, organising taxis or worrying about designated drivers. Everything happens at your pace, surrounded by the people you've invited, while I take care of the cooking, serving and clearing away.
Whether you're marking a special occasion or simply bringing family and friends together, my goal is to create an evening that's remembered for the experience as much as the food.
Choose the menu that's right for you
Every occasion is different, so I offer a range of menus to suit different styles of dining and different budgets.
My most popular Gastro Menu allows you to create your own three-course meal from a wide selection of dishes. If you're looking for something a little different, I offer a range of menus and longer dining experiences, including my Chef’s Signature Tasting Menu, which showcases some of my favourite dishes.
Menus change throughout the year to make the most of seasonal ingredients, so there's always something new to discover.

Before you book
Booking is designed to be straightforward and I’ve tried to be as transparent as possible about my pricing. Once you've chosen a date, I'll happily answer any questions, discuss your plans and help you choose the menu that's right for your event before sending you a personalised quote.
To ensure every course is prepared to the highest possible standard, everyone in your group will normally enjoy the same starter, main course and dessert. Selected dishes can often be adapted for vegetarian guests. As much of the preparation takes place in my home kitchen, I’m unfortunately unable to cater for food allergies, and any other dietary requirements must be discussed before booking.
For a full guide to the booking process, payments, dietary requirements, timings and everything else you might want to know, I'd recommend reading my Private Dining Booking Guide before confirming your booking.
I'd love to be part of your celebration
Every event is unique, and one of the things I enjoy most is helping people celebrate life's special moments through great food and warm hospitality.
From your first enquiry to the final course, my aim is to make the whole experience enjoyable, memorable and as effortless as possible.
If you have any questions before booking, or you'd simply like some advice on choosing the right menu, please don't hesitate to get in touch - I'm always happy to help.
