How many people can I have at my dinner party?
We are specialists in small, bespoke dinner parties, generally up to 15 people. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

What will my chef cook for me and my guests?
Simply put, whatever you like! Our professional chef is very experienced and can cater for a wide variety of tastes and dietary requirements. We have a range of menus to give you inspiration or you can tell us if you have something particular in mind. Most guests will have the same meal, however if one or more guest has a special dietary requirement, we will discuss an alternative menu especially for them with you.

What if I don’t have many fancy cooking gadgets in my kitchen?
Don’t worry! We’ll discuss what you do have and if something vital is missing, your chef will bring it along on the day.

Who will serve the food and do the washing up?
Your Host will serve the meal. Your chef will take care of washing the dishes and pans( in our kitchen so you don’t need to worry about a thing) If there are 8 or more people dining, we provide a waiter or waitress to help serve your meal and pour drinks.

Do you provide crockery, cutlery, glasses and linen?
We prefer to use our crockery. There is no extra charge for this service (up to 15 covers), which will be discussed on booking.

Do you lay the table?
We prepare the table before service as part of the bespoke restaurant quality experience. This will be discussed in the consultation after booking.

How do I pay for my dinner party?
We will email you an invoice and take payment by bank transfer. We ask you for full payment in advance to secure the date for your booking. If you book several months in advance, we ask for a 50% deposit and the remaining payment 14 days in advance of the date of your dinner party.

How much does a dinner party cost?
Contact us for a bespoke quote for your dinner party. The cost depends on how many guests you have, your menu and your location. Our prices range from £60-£150 + VAT per person for a 3 course meal, including your chef, the host and (a waiter if there are more than 8 people dining with an additional fee) and all the food. You can provide your own alcohol and we’re happy to make wine match suggestions, but we also supply alcohol and will be happy to purchase wines and spirits of your choice to compliment the food. Special menus can be created and circulated with complimentary drink selections prior to your event.

I need a chef to cook for a dinner party at very short notice. Can you help?
We generally need you to book at least 10 days in advance of your dinner party date. However, occasionally we may be able to help at short notice. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

I live outside of London. Can you still send a chef to cook for my dinner party?
We serve London postcodes (W, WC, E, EC, N, NW, SW, SE) but also if you live outside of this area we offer a nationwide service. Please contact us to discuss your requirements. (Depending on distance to travel there will be an additional mileage fee)

I’d like a chef to cook for me on Christmas Day / New Year’s Eve / New Year’s Day. Can you help?
We are available on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, but we are closed on Christmas Day. Please note that a surcharge applies on all bank holidays and on New Year’s Eve.
