Dinner in your kitchen.
The way restaurants only wish they could.
A private chef with eight years in Michelin-starred kitchens, cooking a considered four-course menu in your home. For four, six or eight at the table — across London and the South-East.
Five formats.
One kitchen.
Every evening is built on the same foundation — eight years cooking in Michelin-starred kitchens, an obsession with seasonality, and the belief that the best dinners happen at home. Pick the format. We bring the rest.
Four-Course Private Dinner
The signature offering. A considered, seasonal four-course menu cooked in your kitchen for up to eight guests. From £95 a head — ingredients, service, and a quiet clean-up included.
Wine Pairing
A glass for each course, hand-picked to match the menu. Bottles drawn from independent merchants we trust. Add to any dinner from £45 a head.
Sunday Lunch (in-home)
A proper Sunday — slow-roast joint, all the trimmings, something cold for pudding. Cooked from scratch in your kitchen for the family or a long table of friends.
Cooking Lessons (1-to-1)
Three hours in your kitchen learning a menu of your choosing. Knife work, sauces, plating, the things restaurants don't tell you. From £180 a session.
Corporate & Private Hire
Boardrooms, away-days, milestone birthdays. We bring the kitchen — you bring the room. Tasting menus, canapés or family-style, fully staffed and discreet.
Public liability to £5m. Level 3 allergen-trained. Food hygiene rating 5. Eight years in starred kitchens — from canapé pass to head sauté. We arrive prepared and leave nothing behind.

The last season
In their words
“We hosted six for my husband's birthday. The food was at restaurant level — quietly extraordinary — and the kitchen was tidier when he left than when he arrived.
Annabel R.Private dinner · Chelsea
“Used Table for Eight twice now for client dinners at home. Calm, professional, and the cooking is the talking point — exactly what you want from a private chef.
David MehtaPartner · Mehta Advisory
“The Sunday lunch was honestly better than any I've eaten out. Everyone went back for seconds and I didn't lift a finger. Worth every penny.
