We handle every detail so you can simply enjoy hosting your guests.
Pricing for private dining depends on the number of guests, the style of menu you choose (degustation, plated or shared) and the date of your event.

From boutique Victorian producers to premium international selections, our pairings are carefully chosen to enhance each course. We can also arrange bar staff if you’d like cocktails or broader beverage service as part of your evening.
Private dining is most popular for smaller gatherings, but we can cater anywhere from a romantic dinner for two up to 40 guests in most home settings. For larger events of up to 400 people, we can scale with additional staffing and equipment, provided the space and facilities allow. We’ll work with you to determine the best format for your venue.
We recommend booking at least 4–6 weeks in advance, especially for peak periods such as Christmas, Spring Racing and other busy social seasons. For smaller dinners, shorter notice may sometimes be possible, but securing your date early ensures the best menu planning and produce sourcing.
