Chef Terry Stewart

Private Chef In Brighton

With over 25 years of experience in some of London’s most prestigious kitchens, I am a classically trained chef dedicated to delivering exceptional culinary experiences.

My love for cooking began at just eight years old, inspired by watching my mother create delicious home-cooked meals. That early curiosity soon grew into a lifelong passion, leading me to train and work alongside Michelin-starred chefs in high-end restaurants across the capital.

Over the years, I’ve held senior positions at renowned establishments including The Collection in South Brompton, 60 St James near Green Park, and Café Nico by Hyde Park. I also served as Head Chef at the acclaimed Pasha restaurant, where I developed a deep appreciation for Moroccan and North African cuisine.

Today, I specialise in creating bespoke menus tailored to each client’s tastes and dietary needs. Whether you're planning an intimate dinner or a larger celebration, I work closely with you to craft a unique and memorable dining experience.

For me, cooking is...

For me, cooking is an art form and my passion. It’s a way to express creativity, emotion, and heritage all on a plate.

I learned to cook at...

I started professional cookery at a small 4 star hotel in a picturesque setting in Surrey whilst also attending catering school.

A cooking secret...

I use the best ingredients and treat every component with love and attention to detail.

Booked Chef Terry for a Valentine's (2021) treat, he came to us and prepared the most amazing meal, we have eaten at some great restaurants in the UK and France but the flavours Terry brought to our table were truly amazing he is a culinary artist. My wife is a fussy vegetarian with a couple of minor intolerances he listened to us and produced a lovely menu which was everything we wanted, with spectacular smells from the kitchen our taste buds waited in anticipation and then in heaven when the good arrived. He explained each dish as he served us, he was really polite and accommodating. A big thank you absolutely prefect. Paul and Claire
