Intimate dining experiences using some of the best local seasonal produce

Who are we

How it works

We are passionate foodies that want to create restaurant quality dining experiences within the comfort of your own home.

 

Ben has spent the past 15 years working in prestigious restaurants and hotels. His most recent role, as the executive head chef of The Newt in Somerset, a 5* luxury hotel and spa where Ben focused on farming, foraging and growing his own produce showcasing the south on every plate.

 

Our objective is to champion ingredients and make them the star of the show, working closely with select suppliers that share the same ethos as we do

We like to work closely with the person organising their event, that way we can invest in to what they are to trying achieve and ensure we provide the very best. 

​

An enquiry form needs to be filled in, this form is the recipe to our evening together. We make a site visit, this helps us with understanding your space and how we can support you as best we can, to ensure we maintain the highest standard of food safety and hygiene on the night.

 

Menus will then be finalised, with dietary requirements confirmed and a personalised menu will be provided on the night along with tasting notes for the wine pairings.

​

Price per head varies depending on number of courses.

We believe that true hospitality is individual and personal. Bringing restaurant quality food and service to your own home.

 

We pride ourselves on creating long term relationships, providing a service you can rely on and take pride in, whether an intimate dinner party, snacks for a formal reception, secret suppers or celebration dinners.

What we do

We offer taster menus that are tailored specifically to your event within the comfort of your own home, using our amazing local suppliers of farmers, fishermen and foragers to showcase restaurant quality food and service, with wine flights to compliment every dish.

​

From start to finish we take care of it all. With our own crockery, cutlery and glassware we are able to provide a seamless service as well as taking care of the cleaning up, to ensure the fun of cooking is kept within the food.

​

We appreciate that not everyone is a "foodie" so we make sure that all our guests feel comfortable and familiar with each dish without using "cheffy" terminology. We pride ourselves on catering for intimate dinners that bring people together to enjoy delicious food, good wine, whilst in great company.

What our clients say

"There are a lot of chef's out there who can prepare outstanding dishes.  But very few have Ben's infectious enthusiasm for cooking, source ingredients, history of cooking, and most importantly a broad open smile. Ben and his partner Katie cooked for our family for a few days to resounding oohs and ahs from the group.  He's used to a discerning audience at fancy restaurant settings.  But the ability to bring that same panache into one's home setting, without the associated arrogance, is a skill they have clearly perfected. And not to mention these two make a gorgeous couple. Taste for yourself!"
