F.A.Q
Frequently Asked Questions
-
My dinner party is for 10 people, all like different foods, is it a set menu or can I arrange choices?
Yes - it's no problem to arrange specific dishes when we create the menu together. I caution all clients that because I am cooking multiple dishes in a small area I cannot 100% guarantee that it's possible to segregate all foods if people have severe allergies, they are worried about.
-
Are the frozen meals the same as the dinner party meals?
No, the frozen meals are prepared in a large purpose-built commissary by a team of chefs. The private dining experiences are prepared with ingredients that are cooked from scratch at the location by myself.
-
Are the private dining experiences limited to dinners only?
No, we can arrange breakfast, lunch or dinner experiences even buffets.
-
Do you cater for large groups?
This can definitely be arranged, a lot depends on the location, numbers and the service required. Send me the details and I will let you know promptly.
-
Do you do longer term contracts?
This is feasible by arrangement.
-
Are you a qualified chef?
Yes, I worked in fine dining restaurants across Europe, owned my own restaurant, gained recognition in major guidebooks and was a Master Chef of Great Britain at 32. I have been unofficially hosting private dining experiences for over 20 years.

What about Servers, do you supply them as part of the price?
Most clients prefer a relaxed approach to the evening without a "dedicated" server. I am ably assisted by my son, who helps tend to the table. But for clients that require something more formal, I have a standby server that works with me by arrangement and for an additional cost.
