Chef Jay Geddes

Private Chef In Southampton

I am a professional chef with 15 years experience. I've been very lucky to work with some phenomenal chefs and had the opportunity to travel a little with my private work. I'm very discreet and professional at all times. The great thing about food is you can never stop learning and for me that's an amazing thing. Dining is all about trust. The customer comes to me to give them an amazing experience. I take it very personally, my aim is to give the best complete experience I can, to each and every person that I serve.

For me, cooking is...

I Eat, breath and sleep food. .

I learned to cook at...

Four seasons in Paris

A cooking secret...

Cook from the heart!

From start to finish it was a joy. It was easy to get in contact with the chef and discuss menu options. Jay was very flexible and intent on giving us a great experience which really shone through! I would 100% do this again and would recommend it to anyone who wanted a fine dining experience!

very good, we were able to sit down as a family group while our meal was being prepared and it was then served exactly at the time we want. all in all very good.
