Private Chef and Chocolatier


Bringing the complete restaurant experience to the comfort of your own home.

My thinking with SALT Cø. Private Chef and Chocolatier is also that if you are having guests round to your house and you have stepped out of the ordinary by hiring a chef to come to your home, why have an ordinary 3 course meal which almost anyone can get almost anywhere? 

We specialise in up to and beyond 7 course tasting menus using top quality, local, seasonal ingredients. All dietary requirements catered for, no one misses out.

After planning your bespoke 7 course tasting menu with you, we do the prep on the day in our kitchen in Upton. We then come to you to cook, serve AND do the washing up. We leave your kitchen as we find it when we arrive (just don't check the cupboards where we hide it all until after we have gone).

Have a look at our seasonal menus below so you get an idea of the style of food we do, and check out our social media for recent bespoke menus we have done.

Menu planning

Ø - Have an allergy or an intolerance? I will happily work around that, avoiding the ingredient on all the dishes or organising a separate dish for that course.

Ø - Want to invite 8 meat lovers and one vegetarian or pescatarian? Not a problem. I am happy to do alternatives to any courses including meat and fish courses for them.

Ø - Have a food allergy or intolerance? Do let me know when you first get in contact and where I can I will create a dining experience everyone can enjoy. The chocolate I use is made in a factory where nuts are used and sometimes, not very often, I do use nuts in my kitchen. So there may be traces of nuts in my food, but I do what I can not to include them where they are not required or requested.

Ø - Emails and time on the phone discussing menu.

Ø - Me arranging delivery of all the ingredients. Certain ingredients incur a surcharge (eg. Foie gras, certain types of caviar, lobster, fresh truffles). Do not panic, just as excellent menus can be created without these ingredients.

Ø - The preparation of all the ingredients in my kitchen.

Ø - Any extra staff that may be required. (I can do 10 people comfortably on my own, but any more guests I have people to help, just to ensure smooth service).

Ø - My travel, to pick up ingredients and to and from the event (if within the BH Postcodes. If the event is further away, there may be an extra charge).

Ø - Me cooking, serving and even doing the washing up.

Ø - Looking for a canapé reception, or a bbq, or a buffet, or afternoon tea or something completely out of the box? I have done most things so get in contact and we can start discussing ideas.

The price does not include

Ø - Tips. If you feel the service you have received has been good enough to deserve a tip, any is greatly appreciated at the end of the meal.
