Dinner-party planning in London homes
Tell us the borough, full address and the kind of evening you want to host. A plated multi-course dinner, a family-style meal and a cuisine-led celebration can need different preparation and service arrangements. Include the time guests will eat, the kitchen access time and any dietary requirements. Our team matches the chef individually to the brief.
Access and timing in flats and houses
For an apartment or managed building, include lift access, loading arrangements and concierge instructions. Tell us about parking, stairs, oven capacity and fridge space. These details help the chef plan equipment, shopping and arrival. If ingredients need to arrive before the chef, agree who can receive them and where they can be stored.
