Services & Pricing
Transparent pricing for professional cooking services across the UK.
We offer five core services, each designed to solve a specific problem. All prices include ingredients, equipment, travel within our coverage area, and cleanup.
Private Chef Experience
Your kitchen becomes a restaurant for the evening. We plan the menu based on your preferences and dietary needs, shop for everything, arrive two hours before your guests, cook, serve, and clean up afterward.
This works for dinner parties, anniversary celebrations, birthday meals, or just treating yourself to restaurant-quality food at home. Most clients book for 4-8 guests, though we can accommodate up to 12 with advance notice.
What's included: Menu consultation, all ingredients, cooking equipment if needed, plating, service coordination, and full cleanup.
What's not included: Wine or alcohol (though we can suggest pairings), specialty equipment rentals like industrial warmers, additional staff for events over 12 people.
Hands-On Cooking Classes
Two-hour sessions where you actually cook, not just watch. Classes are small, usually 4-6 people, and focus on specific techniques: knife skills, sauce making, pasta from scratch, bread baking, proper seasoning.
We also offer one-on-one sessions at the same rate for people who prefer individual attention or have specific goals they're working toward.
What's included: All ingredients for the session, recipes formatted for home use, technique breakdowns, and the food you make to take home.
Typical topics: Knife skills and prep efficiency, building flavor without recipes, mastering eggs, stock and sauce fundamentals, bread without a stand mixer, weeknight meals under 30 minutes.
Recipe Development
Creating a menu for your café? Writing a cookbook? Need tested recipes for a food product? We develop, test, and document recipes that work consistently, with proper measurements, timing, and instructions.
Each project includes three rounds of testing, adjustments based on feedback, and final documentation in whatever format you need.
What's included: Initial consultation to understand goals, full recipe testing, detailed instructions and scaling notes, nutritional information if needed, ingredient sourcing suggestions.
Timeline: Most projects take 2-3 weeks from initial consultation to final delivery, depending on complexity and the number of recipes.
Weekly Meal Preparation
We come to your kitchen once a week, usually Sunday or Monday, and cook 5-7 days worth of meals. Everything is portioned, labeled, and stored properly. You reheat and eat when convenient.
This isn't meal kit delivery or diet food. It's real cooking tailored to what you actually like eating, scaled for your household size, and designed to last the week without quality loss.
What's included: Menu planning based on your preferences, all groceries, cooking in your kitchen, storage containers if needed, cleanup, and reheating instructions.
Typical arrangements: Most clients start with a 4-week trial. After that, we move to monthly billing with flexible pause options for holidays or travel.
Corporate Event Catering
Office lunches, product launches, team events, client dinners. Food that actually tastes good and looks professional, not generic buffet trays.
We handle dietary requirements without making people feel singled out, coordinate timing so food arrives at proper temperature, and make sure setup and cleanup don't disrupt your event.
What's included: Menu planning, all food and ingredients, service staff if needed, setup and breakdown, disposable or rental dishes, coordination with venue.
Pricing notes: Base price covers up to 20 people. Each additional 10 guests adds £380. For events over 50 people, we provide custom quotes based on menu complexity and staffing needs.
How Booking Works
Visit our booking page, select your service, and provide your contact details. We'll respond within 24 hours to discuss timing, specific needs, and confirm availability.
For private chef services and catering, we usually schedule a brief call to discuss menu preferences, dietary restrictions, and event details. For classes and meal prep, we can often confirm everything via email.
Payment is due 48 hours before the scheduled service date. We send an invoice via email with standard UK banking details. For ongoing services like weekly meal prep, we bill monthly in advance.
Cancellation Policy
Cancel with at least 48 hours notice for a full refund. Cancellations with less than 48 hours notice are charged 50% to cover ingredients already purchased and scheduling adjustments. No-shows are charged in full.
For weather-related cancellations or emergencies, we work with you to reschedule rather than charging cancellation fees.
Coverage Area
We're based in London and regularly serve clients across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Essex, Hertfordshire, and Berkshire. Travel costs are included in pricing for these areas.
For locations outside our standard coverage area, we charge an additional travel fee based on distance. Contact us with your location and we'll provide a quote.
