I go the extra mile to make your dinner party effortless, fun, and genuinely delicious—built around seasonal produce and your preferences.

Jacob Richards

I create bespoke dinner parties with modern European craft and subtle Asian influence.

I’ve worked in top restaurants across London and Bath, including 5-star kitchens such as The Priory, Bath. With 10 years of experience as a private chef, I design tailored dinner parties, develop recipes for well-known UK retail groups, and cook for teams and executive events—including the leadership of the UK’s largest theatre collective, AGT.

I started cooking professionally at 16, and I still bring that same energy to every event: I cook with the freshest seasonal produce, adapt dishes to your tastes, and set a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere so you can focus on your guests and the experience.

Cooking, for me, is an experience

Cooking is a way to experience life, and I bring that mindset to every course—building flavour, pacing, and atmosphere so the meal feels like an occasion, not just a menu.

I started young, and I built my craft in fine dining

I learned to cook in a local fine dining restaurant at 16, and I’ve carried those standards into private dining—precision, timing, and consistency, whether I’m cooking for an intimate table or a larger celebration.

My kitchen secret is precision and ingredients

My secret in the kitchen is careful ingredient selection and precision cooking—I rely on great produce and clean technique to make every dish feel confident, balanced, and memorable.

I offer curated menus that you can pick and mix to suit your guests—ranging from modern European classics to French bistro favourites, Italian sharing feasts, and a refined Japanese 4-course experience.
