Dinner Parties

Should you be hosting a hand full of guests, I highly recommend a 3 / 5 course meal. Your private chef will provide the following services: doing the shopping, preparing and cooking of the meal as well as the serving of you and your guests.

Your choice of menu is entirely up to you, however should you require any help or guidance when putting one together you are welcome to choose from the list below.

Seafood BBQ’s, Sushi evenings as well as Thai / Moroccan themed dinners have proven to be popular amongst my previous clients.
