Private Chef · Richmond

Richmond sits apart from
the rest of London.

The broad streets above the Hill with views across to the Surrey Hills, the elegant houses along the river in Petersham, the proximity to the Park that makes a Saturday morning feel genuinely different from anywhere else in the capital — these are not things people live in Richmond despite. They are the reasons they are here.

Entertaining in Richmond has its own character. It is generous and relaxed rather than formal, but the standards are not lower for that. A long garden lunch in summer, a big family Sunday roast that runs into the afternoon, a dinner party for the best twelve people in your address book — these are occasions where the quality of the food matters enormously, and where the effort required to produce it should be invisible.

Andrés brings to Richmond the same precision and commitment he brings to every private home, adapted to the rhythm and character of a weekend here. The garden gets the same attention as the dining room. The Sunday lunch gets the same care as the formal dinner. You do not need to think about any of it.

FAQ

Questions about hiring a
private chef in Richmond.

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

  • Andrés works across the range of Richmond properties — large detached Victorian houses in the streets behind Richmond Hill, riverside properties in Petersham and along the Thames, Edwardian family homes closer to the town centre, and the beautiful houses on the slopes above the Park. Every kitchen is different, and he adapts entirely to yours.
  • Yes — outdoor entertaining in Richmond is one of the most requested formats, particularly between May and September. Andrés plans and manages the full outdoor service, including cooking logistics, setup and clean-down. The standard of the food and presentation is the same outdoors as in any dining room.
  • Absolutely. A proper Sunday roast — built around the best available meat, with seasonal accompaniments prepared from scratch — is something Andrés approaches with exactly the same care as any other format. The menu is always adapted to the size of the table and the composition of the group.
  • Yes. Richmond and Kew are part of Andrés's regular service area and he travels there for both one-off occasions and standing arrangements. Travel to neighbouring Petersham, Ham, Twickenham and Teddington is equally straightforward.
  • Yes. A regular arrangement — weekly family dinners, Sunday lunches, or daily cooking during a demanding period — is discussed during an initial consultation and structured around your household's routine. There is no fixed template; it is always built around what you actually need.
  • 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.
