CHEFS AND COOKS

Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity. (Voltaire)

We provide top class chefs for private functions and corporate hospitality in and around London any day of the week, any time of the year. We also provide permanent chefs for large households around the world.

Our waiters are all trained in silver service and will serve your guests at the table and beforehand for pre-prandial drinks. They can also be hired to serve canapés and nibbles at ‘stand-up’ parties, as can our chefs who are also able to create delightful party buffets or plates of enticing bites.

Private households

"Our lives are not in the lap of the gods, but in the lap of our cooks." (Lin Yutang)

More and more households are now employing permanent, full-time chefs or cooks who will cook for their employer, their family and for functions held on the estate. They will manage the kitchen inventory, buy food and create menus to their employer’s tastes.

The chef or cook usually works on their own although they would have extra help for major functions. They will be responsible for cleaning the kitchen and utensils and maintaining a high standard of hygiene. In some homes they may be asked to do other duties such as babysitting or some driving, but this would only be by prior arrangement.

Private functions

Stressed spelled backwards is desserts. Coincidence? I think not! (Author Unknown)

If you are hosting a dinner party and you would like it to be special, or perhaps you don’t have the time or energy to cook it yourself, hire one of our experienced chefs to prepare, cook and clean-up for you on the night. Your personal chef will discuss your budget, the style of food you would like to offer and your guests’ dietary requirements beforehand. Then, on the night, you just leave it up to them and enjoy yourself!

If you really want to enjoy the party, hire one or more of our very popular waiters who will arrive uniformed or informal, depending on the style of your ‘do’. Click here to find out about our waiters. Armed with our chef and waiters at any party you host, all you will need to do is turn up.
