PRIVATE CHEf
Escape the hustle and bustle of London and enjoy an intimate dining experience in the comfort of your own home. With over twenty years experience as a private chef and working alongside the world’s finest chefs in London’s notable restaurants and venues, we know how to strike the right balance between delivering Michelin star-quality food in a calm and relaxed environment.
Whether it’s a seven course tasting menu or canapés and wine, we curate a bespoke menu reflecting your preferences and requirements, taking you on a gastronomic culinary journey using only the finest quality ingredients. An example menu can be found at the bottom of this page.
We take care of absolutely everything; from preparation to service and then clearing up leaving everything exactly as we found it. All you have to do is relax and enjoy a memorable occasion.
How it works
Step 1: We talk
You tell us your brief and we discuss ideas, needs and requirements. Jean-Michel then creates a bespoke menu for you with suggested wine pairings (although you may wish to source this independently or from your own wine cellar).
Step 2: We source
We source the finest, fresh ingredients for your meal, using locally-sourced organic suppliers where possible.
Step 3: we cook
On a day Jean-Michel or his chef turn up two hours before service time to finish prepare the food in your kitchen using either your equipment or hour own and dress the table.
Step 4: WE serve
Jean-Michel or his chef serves the dishes themselves, providing an intimate dining experience for you and your guests. For larger events, we can supply highly-experienced waiting staff.
Step 5: WE clear and clean
Once the meal is served, we discreetly clear and clean so you can continue to enjoy your special occasion.
Step 6: WE bid farewell
We bid farewell and hope to see you again soon!
