My Story

A Lifelong Passion for Food

My name is Steven, and food has been at the centre of everything I do since 2006 when I first entered the hospitality industry. What started as a passion quickly became a career — and that career took me across some of Europe's most exciting culinary scenes.

I worked in France, Norway and Belgium, absorbing the techniques, traditions and philosophies of each country's cuisine. Every kitchen taught me something different: the precision of the French, the purity of Scandinavian cooking, the richness of Belgian flavours. Together, they shaped how I approach every plate I create.

In 2019, I brought all of that experience back to London and launched Private Chef London — a service built on the belief that extraordinary food doesn't belong only in restaurants. It belongs at your table, wherever that may be.

What Drives Me

The Values Behind Every Plate

Seasonal Integrity

I cook with what is at its best right now. Menus change with the seasons because that is when ingredients taste exactly as they should — no forcing, no substitution.

Colour & Vibrancy

Every plate should look as good as it tastes. I use colour not as decoration but as a signal of freshness — vivid vegetables, vibrant sauces, beautiful natural hues.

Guest-Centred

Your event, your preferences, your dietary needs — these always come first. I adapt every menu around the people eating it, not the other way round.

European Craft

Two decades of working across French, Belgian and Norwegian kitchens gave me a toolkit that spans classical technique, modern minimalism and rich, hearty tradition.

Attention to Detail

From the sourcing of ingredients to the final garnish, every detail matters. No element on the plate is there by accident — each one earns its place.

Your Space, Respected

I treat your home with the same care and professionalism as any restaurant kitchen. I arrive organised, work cleanly and leave your space exactly as I found it.

"If you've got the occasion, we've got the food"
