Chef Colin Clegg

Chef At Home In London

My journey began in some of the UK's finest restaurants, where I honed my professional skills and developed a deep passion for creating exceptional dining experiences. My interest in premium, quality food took me to the high seas, where I served as a private chef on luxury yachts, catering to discerning clients and perfecting the art of personalised hospitality.

I later took up several residencies in New York and London, providing private chef services in family homes. Often joining established teams of household staff, I made sure my kitchens were always the heart of the operation, ever the convivial host.

Driven by a desire to bring this level of excellence to a broader audience, I have now brought my bespoke catering skills to London. I am dedicated to delivering gourmet food and impeccable service, tailored to the unique needs of each client. Every detail is meticulously managed and every customer's needs are fulfilled.

For me, cooking is...

The best way for me to express my passion and craftsmanship

I learned to cook at...

after attending culinary school, I have worked in many top kitchens around the world.

A cooking secret...
