Over the past 15 years of cooking and travelling, I have gained a world of knowledge and technique. From Michelin kitchens (Gordon Ramsay at Claridges) in London, Private chalets in the French and Swiss alps, to private yachts such as 115m Motor yacht Luna.

I am an artistic and personable chef. Happy to adapt to your dietary preferences and culinary vision. Ready to take you on a food adventure.

For me, cooking is...

A passion that brings joy to others, and an opportunity to bring flavours, colours, and textures to life.

I learned to cook at...

The print room, Claridges, and superyachts

A cooking secret...

Bringing soul and energy to natures produce.

Richard arrived on time, well prepared and executed the most amazing dishes. They were beautifully presented and delicious. We would definitely recommend Richard and book him again. Thank you Richard. Suzanne and Nisha

Chef Richard was fab, the food looked and tasted amazing! He presented each course to us with a description and every part of it was so tasty. He was good with communication prior to the event and was friendly on the night. Would definitely recommend him and will use him when we next have a special event!

Richard was professional, innovative and engaging. He was faced with limited and unusual cooking facilities and rose to the occasion with an incredible menu and live cooking main. The food had layers if complex flavours and he had high attention to detail. This was a 24 hour request and he surpassed expectations and delivered a memorable meal. High recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our private chef experience. Richard was very helpful throughout the planning process and asked for feedback on his menu ideas to make sure that I was happy with the menu. I also asked for his advice on wine pairings and his suggestions went beautifully with the courses. The dinner was delicious, and he kept to the committed serving time that we agreed in advance. He cleaned the kitchen and left it spotless.
