Elderflower poached chicken

A personal chef is no longer a luxury - now it is a neccessity when planning your perfect event.

Bring the quality restaurant to your home. No baby sitter needed, no taxi, no deciding who is going to drive home. Relax as we set, cook, serve and clear exclusively in the privacy of your home.

Choose from our selection of dinner party menus.

We ask that guests choose only one option per course for the whole party, with a vegetarian option if neccessary. 

All served with homemade bread rolls and finished with handmade chocolates from Miette in Stow on the Wold.

Prices from £26.50 per person (Surcharge on parties of just 6 - 7 people to be cooked and served in the house 10%. * Does not apply to delivery meals).

Children are normally enouraged to have a plain version of the same main course as adults. We also have a children's menu (click here)
