I cook seasonal, local produce and bring the restaurant experience to your home.

Chef John

I’ve been cooking for over 25 years, and it’s become second nature to me. I’m happiest when I’m sourcing new ingredients, building dishes around what’s in season, and cooking for clients at home—or sharing live demos on stage at food festivals.

With incredible local producers, farmers, and fishing boats around me, I’m lucky to constantly experiment and refine dishes that feel rustic, generous, and ingredient-led.

Chef John
Cooking for me is my life, and it’s my happy place—nothing beats top produce cooked simply, letting the ingredients speak for themselves.

I keep it simple, seasonal, and focused on great produce.

I let ingredients lead

Cooking for me is my life and my happy place. I focus on top-quality produce and cook it simply, so the natural flavours shine without unnecessary fuss.

I built my craft through real service

I first learned to cook in the Royal Navy, cooking for VIPs around the world. From there I headed to London, and later to Le Poussin, where I sharpened my technique and deepened my respect for ingredients.

I respect every ingredient

My secret in the kitchen is looking after ingredients and using seasonal local produce, cooked simply. I avoid adding too many flavours to one dish, so everything stays balanced and clear.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in United Kingdom?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 76 GBP, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook French, Latin American, Mediterranean, Chef's special and Italian. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.
