Treat yourself to a memorable experience in the comforts of your own home.
A personal service for you to indulge in the comfort of your own home. The process is simple: we discuss menus, dietary requirements and food budget, I will produce a menu accordingly, submit it for your review and any final adjustment will be made. Once the menu is agreed I will arrange a delivery from Ocado (payment for grocery and deposit is required) to your home with the aim to schedule the delivery at the same time as my arrival any specialist ingredient will be sourced from specialized shops.
All is left for you to do is relax knowing that on the day your only worry will be entertaining your guests. Your event will be a success with quality gourmet food prepared in your own kitchen with care and passion. I will take care of the grocery shopping, the preparation of the food, serving and leave the kitchen clean.
For larger parties booking a butler would be advised.
Covid-19
I will be wearing latex gloves and face covering at all time, practicing good hand washing when changing gloves
Once the grocery delivery has been put away every kitchen surface areas will be sanitised
I will use wooden spoons for tasting
I will sanitize knives before and after use
I will be wearing different shoes while inside your home
On request a face shield can be worn at additional cost
A list of all attendees will be required with names and telephone numbers, it will be destroyed 21 days after the event.
My details will be made available in the form of a business card.
Should the worst happen. You can cancel short notice, I will try to cancel Ocado delivery and reimburse costs of the food bill.
Should I be affected by Covid 19 I will send a replacement chef of the same caliber. Should this option fail I will put you in contact with a staffing agency that specialises in private dining and will brief the chef by phone.

Case study
A client hosted a 3 course dinner party for 4 people at home, they booked the chef for 5 hours. Guests arrived 30 minutes late and spent another 30 minutes having pre dinner drinks. They sat down 1 hour later than planned. Chef worked 6 hours in total.
The client spent £300 in staff cost and £120 in prime food ingredients. The total cost for the food and staffing was £420 divided by 4 guests, it amounted to £105.00 per person for the food and service element of the evening.
Money saving tip
Increase the number of guests and the price per person decreases
