What can you expect

Our collaboration starts with an in-depth discussion about your preferences and ideas. Based on this, I design a surprising menu specifically tailored to you and your guests. We handle the shopping and lovingly prepare everything in advance.

On the day itself, we arrive well in time. We make use of your kitchen and appliances to prepare and serve the dishes. While I put the finishing touches on the dishes in the kitchen, Roos sets the table and creates a warm atmosphere where everyone feels welcome.

When your guests arrive, the enjoyment can begin. Roos serves the dishes with a smile and ensures everyone feels completely at home. After the event, we clean up and leave the kitchen spotless. You can relax and reminisce about a perfect evening.

Do you have specific wishes like a cocktail bar? We are happy to help turn your dream evening into reality.

The private dining experience was exceptional, especially the walking dinner we hosted with Chef Douglas. The walking dinner was perfect because we had a bigger group of people and multiple area's in the house and garden. We had a wine station with perfect wine pairings and a mocktail bar. Highly recommend!
