Private Catering and Events

Have you ever thought ” I’d love to throw a dinner party at home, but it’s too much work, where do I start?” This is where we can come in.

About the Chef:

My name is Selina Periampillai I have accumulated years of food experience, from starting a cake business, running a stall, cooking for diners to hosting supperclubs and pop up events all over London. My travels and love of different and exciting foods means I can turn my hand to most cuisines. And I’m  constantly looking out for and cooking a range of vibrant, diverse dishes that will surely meet your needs. Give yourself a break and let me and my team bring the restaurant or supperclub experience to your home or venue.

I am available to hire as a private chef for your dinner party or event, providing a taste of the exotic island with an all Mauritian themed menu to seasonal British or WorldWide cuisine menus to entice your guests.

After devising a bespoke menu with you, we provide waitress service to lay the table, serve drinks and canapés.  All you have to do is enjoy yourselves, there won’t even be any washing up and your kitchen will be spotless at the end.  While you’re planning your outfit, doing your nails, maybe a spot of shopping ,leave the hard work to us and get ready at your leisure, all you have to do is relax and play the great host.
