From Canapes to Multi-course Feasting

Food is a central element of any event, and we understand that you want to offer something that will surpass the expectations of your guests. So, for both large and small events, we can design a menu that’s unique to you.

Complete your occasion with a private, trained chef and offer guests a selection of gourmet dishes. For in-home dining options, your party can enjoy a range of delicious finger food and canape catering packages or choose from a range of freshly-prepared entrees, mains and desserts. Otherwise, browse our degustation menu and allow guests to try 5 courses or 8 courses for a varied and exciting taste experience.

We prepare your chosen plates in our commercial kitchen, then complete them and plate the dishes carefully in your kitchen to create fresh delicious dining experiences.  Choosing to hire our home chefs allows you to create a relaxing, enjoyable event that’s complete with a tailored menu.

“Jacob came to our home and provided canapes and a three course meal for my wife’s birthday dinner. The whole experience was fantastic from my initial enquiry (which was answered extremely promptly) through to the evening itself. The food was out of this world and Jacob made the whole process so easy. All of our guests were blown away and he played a huge part in making the evening truly special and one we will remember for a very long time. Thank you Jacob!
