Start the quizPrivate chefs based in London — from daily family cooking to regular entertaining and everything in between.

London has one of the deepest talent pools for private chefs anywhere in the world. Chefs who've cooked at The Ledbury, The Ritz, Nobu — they move into private service because the hours are better and the pay is comparable. That's good news for you.
We place chefs for full-time daily cooking, regular dinner parties, and households that entertain frequently. Many of our London chefs specialise in particular cuisines — Japanese, Middle Eastern, plant-based, classic French — and we match that expertise to your preferences.
Some London families share a chef with another household to keep costs manageable. Others want someone on call six days a week. We handle both arrangements and everything in between.

We place experienced butlers who know how to run a household properly — from staff management to formal service and everything in between.
Estate managers who keep large properties and multiple homes running smoothly — budgets, staff, maintenance, the lot.
