Instant cost estimate

Provide a few details and I'll give you an estimated cost based on similar sized groups over the last few years

It's fully inclusive and includes:

  • menu planning
  • shopping and ingredients
  • preparation and packing
  • travelling and mileage
  • cooking at your place
  • cleaning up, ensuring the kitchen is as close to spotless as possible
  • bringing crockery and all of the equipment I need
    I can also bring cutlery and some glasses
  • taking all dirty plates and my equipment away to clean at home

I cook everything from scratch after I arrive on the day using fresh ingredients and the oven and hob available at the property.

Because I bring tableware and my own equipment I put everything into boxes and whip it away to be washed at home, so you're not left with stacks of dirty crockery or a full dishwasher to unload the next morning!

Payments

A £100 deposit books and secures the date. Half of the remainder is due the month before the meal, with the balance payable on the night, either when I arrive or after the meal.

What I bring

I will bring enough dinner plates, side plates and dessert bowls for all diners as standard. I'll also bring all of the equipment I'll need in the kitchen (though occasionally I might use the odd spoon, oven dish or pan if it fits the hob better than mine).

Holiday cottages sometimes don't have enough cutlery for three course meals - and sometimes people are short when organising large gatherings in their own homes - so in the car I also keep a full 168 piece set of cutlery for a three course meal for up to 24 people. I also have an emergency box of napkins, a tablecloth, matches etc if needed and can bring 24 tall water glasses on request - just ask.
