What We Do
Pick Your Occasion
Every event gets a custom menu and high-quality ingredients freshly sourced for that menu. Justin handles cooking, plating, service and cleanup. You host. We do the rest.
Gather your favourite people at home, holiday Villa or Airbnb. Justin creates a menu around your tastes and takes care of cooking, service and kitchen cleanup, leaving you at the table, not in the kitchen.
From €85 per person
A wedding menu that feels like you, not a package chosen from a brochure. From cocktail canapés to a beautifully plated multi course menu, Justin shapes the food around your tastes, your setting and the way you want to celebrate.
Custom pricing
Make one night of the trip all about your favourite people. Bold flavours, generous plates and a private chef cooking at your villa or Airbnb. Start the celebrations around the table, or make dinner the main event.
From €85 per person
Their favourite flavours. Your favourite people. A whole evening to enjoy together. Justin builds a personal menu around the guest of honour, turning a birthday, anniversary or reunion into something far more thoughtful than another restaurant reservation.
From €85 per person

Distinctive food and thoughtful service make your guests feel valued, leaving you free to build relationships and let your brand shine.
