Dinner Parties and Private Cheffing

Bespoke event catering

Whatever the occasion, let me take care of the food so you can spend your time in the company of friends and family. I love creating dishes with bold flavours and compelling contrasts. The classics are classic for a reason but it’s fun to mix it up a bit sometimes too! Fresh pasta is a particular specialty but I take inspiration from all over the world. Below are some sample menus for three course sit-down dinners but please get in touch to discuss your personalised requirements. I also offer a canapé menu, suitable for drinks parties or as an alternative to sit-down starters.

I have a WSET level 3 wine qualification so just ask if you’d like pairing recommendations to accompany your food.

Obviously some things on these menus are seasonal so not all options are appropriate or available at all times of year. Others will depend on what equipment and space is available at your home or venue. Veggie/vegan options are sometimes included but this is a work in progress. I can almost always come up with plant-based or GF alternatives though so please do let me know what you need. I also offer a Delivery Dinner Party service, with the food dropped off to you including simple instructions for finishing and serving.

 

SAMPLE DINNER PARTY MENUS
3 courses for £85 per person
2 courses for £60 per person*

Starters and puddings are individually plated. Mains can be done similarly or sides served “family style” to pass around and help yourselves. Below are a few suggested menus as well as more extensive lists of starters, mains and desserts.

 
 
 

* Minimum order £200. Transport costs may also apply. Varying dietary options across a meal is possible but may cost a little more. Combining elements of different menus is also possible. Salads, buffet options and canapés can often be easily modified for delivery and finishing yourself at a lower price. Please get in contact to discuss these or any other questions.
