How We Select Our Suppliers
In the world of private dining, where every detail counts and every ingredient tells a story, our supplier selection process is the cornerstone of our business. Whether we’re providing a private chef for special occasions, creating bespoke menus for private households, or catering for special events like weddings or corporate functions, the quality and integrity of our ingredients are non-negotiable.
Our Ethos: Integrity, Quality & Connection
At the heart of our business lies a deep commitment to excellence, authenticity and sustainability. We believe that exceptional dining experiences begin long before a dish reaches the table. They start with our suppliers, local farmers, artisan producers, fishmongers, and ethical butchers who share our values and dedication to responsible sourcing.
We look for more than just high-quality ingredients. We seek out partnerships with producers who are aligned with our ethos: those who care for their craft, their land, and their communities. This relationship driven approach allows us to provide tailored, meaningful food experiences for every client.
Sustainability & Environmental Responsibility
Sustainability is not just a buzzword, it’s a principle that drives our day-to-day decisions. We prioritize suppliers who:
Use organic or regenerative farming methods
Raise animals ethically and free-range
Practice sustainable fishing
Minimise packaging waste
Operate locally to reduce food miles and carbon footprint
We also work hard to reduce our own environmental impact by sourcing seasonally, minimising food waste, and using eco-friendly packaging whenever possible.
Local First, Always
Being connected to local producers allows us to bring the freshest, most flavourful ingredients to your table. From heirloom vegetables and line-caught seafood to hand-churned butter and small-batch cheeses, we celebrate the abundance of local, seasonal fare in every menu we create.
Our clients often tell us that the food tastes different, and it does. Because when your private chef is working with just picked herbs and produce or meat from a farmer they’ve actually met, it elevates the entire dining experience.
Trusted for Every Occasion
Whether you’re booking a private chef for an intimate anniversary dinner, a garden party at your home, or catering for a special event like a wedding or corporate gathering, you can trust that the ingredients on your plate were chosen with care, integrity, and respect for the planet.
Each menu is a collaboration with you, your tastes, the season, and our trusted suppliers and that’s what makes every bite not just delicious, but deeply meaningful.
