Marylebone · Private Chef

Marylebone entertaining.
Understated.
Exactly right.

Bespoke private dining for Marylebone's most considered homes — from a perfect dinner for eight in a Georgian townhouse to a long weekend lunch in a Wimpole Street apartment. Seasonal cooking, complete care, and service that leaves nothing for you to think about.

Marylebone occupies a particular
position in London.

A genuine neighbourhood within the city, with the character of a village and the standards of somewhere much more expensive. The Georgian terraces behind the High Street, the quiet residential streets around Wimpole Street and Queen Anne Street, the beautiful apartment buildings north of Cavendish Square: these are homes chosen for quality, proportion, and the sense that everything is exactly as it should be.

The households here tend to be professionals of considerable accomplishment — doctors, architects, writers, senior figures in finance and the arts — who entertain with real confidence but without fuss. Dinner in Marylebone is rarely formal for its own sake. It is precise. The ingredients are right, the menu is interesting, and the evening feels considered without anyone having been made to feel it required much effort at all.

Andrés works with Marylebone clients on everything from regular weekday cooking arrangements to dinner parties for the right twelve people, from Sunday family lunches to the kind of quiet private celebration that deserves an exceptional table without the performance of a restaurant. The standard is the same for all of them.

  • Andrés works across the range of Marylebone properties — Georgian townhouses in the streets behind the High Street, apartment residences in the larger period buildings around Cavendish Square and Wimpole Street, and the quieter streets running north towards Regent's Park. Every kitchen is different, and he adapts entirely to yours.
  • Absolutely. Some of Andrés's most considered menus have been for two. The format, the number of courses, and the style of service are all adapted to the size and occasion. A dinner for two deserves the same care and quality as a dinner for twenty.
  • Yes. Many Marylebone clients are professionals who want consistently excellent food at home without having to think about it. Andrés offers flexible standing arrangements — from a single weekly dinner to daily cooking — structured around your schedule and your household.
  • The approach is modern European with a strong seasonal foundation — considered and refined without being complicated or showy. The right dish for the season, made with the finest available ingredients. For clients who want something different — a Japanese-inflected menu, a Spanish degustación, a menu built around a particular wine — those conversations are always welcome.
  • After an initial enquiry, Andrés will arrange a brief conversation — by phone or in person, whichever suits you — to understand your occasion, your guests and your preferences. A bespoke menu proposal follows, refined until it is exactly right. The process is simple, personal, and takes no time at all.
  • Entirely. The full service includes sourcing the finest seasonal produce, arriving at your home ahead of the meal, preparing everything in your kitchen, serving at the table, and leaving your home in immaculate condition. You do not need to think about any of it.
