Private Chef · London

London is one of the most competitive cities
in the world for private dining.

London's restaurants are extraordinary, its club dining is excellent, and the expectations of its most discerning households are correspondingly high. When someone in Mayfair or Chelsea or Belgravia chooses to hire a private chef rather than book a table, they are not settling for a lesser experience. They are choosing a better one.

A private chef in London means a menu built entirely around your preferences, your guest list and the finest produce available that morning. It means service that operates in your home rather than someone else's dining room. It means an evening where you are the host rather than the customer — and everything looks and feels that way.

Andrés has spent the last fourteen years cooking in London's most demanding private homes, across its most significant postcodes, for clients whose expectations do not flex. His work spans intimate dinners for two to large private receptions, regular household arrangements to one-off occasions that require every element to be precisely right. The approach is always the same: absolute commitment to the quality on the plate, and complete invisibility in the process of achieving it.

Everything you need to know before making an enquiry. For anything else, write to hello@godsavethechef.co.uk

  • Andrés covers all of central and prime London: Mayfair, Belgravia, Knightsbridge, Chelsea, Kensington, Notting Hill, Marylebone, St John's Wood, Hampstead, Richmond, and all surrounding areas. For engagements outside London — the Home Counties, UK-wide or international — enquiries are welcomed and accommodated where possible.
  • A private chef works in your home, cooks to a menu designed specifically for your occasion and guests, and provides a personal, seamless service rather than a standardised one. There are no set menus, no generic platters and no compromise on quality. Andrés is one chef with one standard, working entirely to your brief.
  • For a one-off occasion, two to three weeks ahead is ideal. For regular arrangements, the conversation can begin at any time. Andrés will always try to accommodate shorter notice when the schedule allows.
  • Yes. All engagements are treated as entirely private. Andrés does not discuss clients, guest lists, homes or occasions. NDAs are available on request and treated as standard.
  • Shopping for the finest seasonal produce, arriving at your home ahead of the meal, preparing and cooking in your kitchen, serving the dinner, and leaving your home in immaculate condition. You do not need to organise, supervise or think about any of it.
  • Absolutely. Andrés cooks intimate suppers for two as readily as seated dinners for twenty-four. The menu, format and pace of service are all adapted to your guest list and the space available. For larger gatherings, additional service staff can be arranged on request.
