Private Chef · Surrey

Surrey has its own
way of doing things.

Surrey's finest addresses are among the most beautiful in the Home Counties. The large private houses in Cobham and Oxshott, the gated estates near Virginia Water and Wentworth, the country houses with grounds that extend into the Surrey Hills around Dorking and Reigate — these are properties of real quality, occupied by families who have earned the right to have things done properly and who expect them to be.

The social calendar here is full and varied: the Ascot and Epsom season, polo at Cowdray, the cricket and rugby calendar, the summer that runs from May to September in gardens large enough to justify it. Entertaining in Surrey tends to match this — generous, confident, and with an appetite for quality that is just as demanding as anything in central London, with the advantage of doing it in considerably more space.

Andrés works with Surrey clients across the full range of occasions — from regular household arrangements for families whose schedules leave no time for the kitchen, to large estate celebrations, to the specific formality of a dinner party in a country house dining room. The same approach applies to all of them: produce of the highest quality, cooking of real skill, service that is entirely invisible, and a kitchen left immaculate.

  • Andrés covers the full range of Surrey's prime residential areas — Cobham, Oxshott, Esher, Weybridge, Virginia Water, Wentworth, Reigate, Dorking, and the Surrey Hills villages. Travel to adjacent areas in Kent, Sussex and Berkshire can also be accommodated on request.
  • Yes. The racing calendar is one of the most active periods for private entertaining in Surrey, and Andrés plans accordingly. Pre-race lunches, post-race dinners, and the full hospitality occasions that the season requires are all managed with the same precision as any other engagement.
  • Yes. Large-scale outdoor entertaining — a summer reception for 60 guests on the lawn, a marquee dinner in the grounds, a pool-side canaé party — is something Andrés approaches with the same planning and precision as any indoor occasion. Menu and service are fully adapted to the outdoor environment.
  • For a large occasion or a full estate event, three to four weeks ahead is ideal. For smaller dinner parties or household arrangements, two weeks is usually sufficient. Andrés will always try to accommodate shorter timelines when his schedule allows.
  • Yes. For occasions requiring more than a single chef — large receptions, multi-course seated dinners for significant numbers, or events with a complex service requirement — additional professional staff can be arranged and coordinated through Andrés. You manage one conversation. He manages everything else.
