Chef Damon Fletcher

Private Chef In Bristol

I am a professional chef with a catering business based in Bristol. After spending the majority of my career in high end fine dining restaurants my aim is to bring my knowledge and experience from my career and provide the same experience of these levels of establishments to your own private soiree. We believe in adding that extra flair and fanatical detail into all our events and provide innovative dining experiences & memorable moments. We work closely with you to build your dream menu & make your event a success, with a passion for creating something extra special every time.

For me, cooking is...

A pure joy, I am very passionate about the food I create and have found the most enjoyable way to provide this as a service.

I learned to cook at...

An apprenticeship in professional cookery, several rosette restaurants & boutique 5* hotels in Bristol & West Wales

A cooking secret...

No secrets, just tasting everything until I am sure it’s the best it can be & always cooking with love.
