Booking a private chef should make your occasion feel special from the start.

Private Chef Enquiries
Every private dining enquiry is different, so the best place to start is by telling me a little about your plans.
Please include your preferred date, location, approximate number of guests and the type of occasion you are planning. It also helps to know whether you have a particular style of food or menu in mind.
Once I have those details, I can check availability and we can start discussing ideas for your menu and dining experience.
Planning something special? Send me your enquiry and let’s start creating your menu..
A Taste of Private Dining
Your menu will be planned around your occasion, the season and your personal preferences.
Every menu is different, but here are a few examples of dishes I have created for previous private dining experiences.
Testimonials
Hi James, a trillion thanks for everything. We had such fun but I am sure there were some sore heads the next morning! Your food was superb. We should know better at our age!!
Barbara
I felt a little weird having someone else in our kitchen initially. But I could relax. We had great conversation, stories, jokes and the drinks flowing. The icing on the cake was the delicious starter, followed by the main, that was cooked to perfection, and a dessert that I could have eaten over and over again. What a smart, professional young man who is obviously passionate about the food. 10/10
