Private Chefs in Cornwall

Want restaurant‑quality dining without leaving your cottage? Our private chefs in Cornwall bring the kitchen to you—perfect for family gatherings, birthdays, intimate weddings or retreat groups. From Padstow and St Ives to Falmouth, Penzance, Truro, Newquay, St Austell, Bodmin, Wadebridge and Bude, talented chefs craft menus that celebrate Cornish produce.

What to expect

• Bespoke menus: seafood feasts, tasting menus, vegan spreads, BBQs and sharing boards

• Local sourcing: day‑boat fish, farm vegetables, artisan breads, Cornish cheeses

• Dietary confidence: gluten‑free, dairy‑free, vegan and allergy‑aware planning

• Service & wash‑up so you can relax (and claim the glory)

• Optional wine pairing with local bottles or your favourites

Booking tips

• Share guest numbers, kitchen kit and dining space—chefs can often bring extra equipment.

• Discuss budget (per head or set menu) and preferred service style: plated, family‑style or canapé & bowl food.

• Confirm timings, arrival windows and any children’s options.

• For big dates (summer Saturdays, Christmas, New Year), secure early.

Make it memorable

Add a welcome hamper, a local flower arrangement, or a mixologist for pre‑dinner cocktails. Pair your evening with a coastal walk, then return to sizzling pans and a beautifully set table.
