✦ Service 01 - Private Dinner

The Restaurant Experience, In Your Home Imagine hosting a dinner party where you never have to step into the kitchen. The Private Dinner service transforms your home into an intimate, elegant restaurant for up to 20 guests. Thomas arrives with everything; the produce, the equipment, the expertise, and takes care of it all, from the first plate to the last clean surface. You sit down. You enjoy.

✦ Service 02 - Cocktail & Event Catering

Elegant Canapés. Effortless Entertaining. For standing events and cocktail parties where the food should be just as impressive as the occasion, Thomas offers a full canapé catering service for up to 40 guests. Between 8 and 16 individually crafted amuse-bouches — a thoughtfully curated journey of savoury bites and sweet finishes, each one designed to be picked up, savoured in a moment, and remembered long after. Nothing generic. Nothing pre-packaged. Every piece made fresh, with the same attention to detail you would expect from a fine dining kitchen.

✦ Service 03 - Drop-Off Catering

Professional Food. Zero Fuss. Designed for busy professionals and corporate teams who want quality food without the logistics. The Drop-Off service delivers a premium catering spread directly to your location, ready to serve. Thomas prepares a fully customised selection of canapés or buffet-style dishes in his kitchen, packages everything in insulated, food-grade containers, and delivers it to your door. Along with all the service materials and presentation homeware you need. After your event, simply place everything back in the boxes and Thomas handles the rest at collection.

Why ?

✦ Fully bespoke, every time. There is no set menu, no rigid package, no “take it or leave it.” Every service starts with a conversation about what you want, and ends with food that feels made for the moment, because it was.

✦ 15 years of professional expertise. Trained in France, tested in Michelin-starred kitchens and high-volume brasseries alike, Thomas brings a depth of culinary knowledge that elevates every plate, no matter the occasion or the format.

✦ You just enjoy the moment. Shopping, cooking, plating, service, clean-up, Thomas takes care of it all. Your only job is to be present and enjoy.

✦ Dietary needs are a given, not a compromise. Gluten-free, vegan, allergen-specific, or simply strongly opinionated about food, every preference is accommodated with the same care and creativity as the rest of the menu.

✦ Quality without compromise. Premium ingredients, precise technique, beautiful presentation, at every price point, the standard stays the same.
