Your villa. Our feast.

Long tables, big bowls, real food. Cooked in your kitchen, then we clean up and slip away.

Why book us

You’re here for them. Not the dishes.

You finally got everyone together. The last place you should be is the supermarket queue, or up to your elbows in pans.

Pick a menu and leave the rest to us. We shop the markets, roll the pasta, dance round your kitchen, then clean up and slip away. Every allergy and dietary need handled.

You get the long table, the laughing, and one more plate of pasta.

You bring the people. We’ll bring the feast.

How it works

Three steps to dinner.

1

Tell us the crowd

Date, guests, the occasion, and anyone who can’t eat what.

2

Pick your menu

Choose one of our four menus below. Dietary needs handled, no fuss.

3

We cook, you don’t

We arrive with the shopping, cook, serve, and leave your kitchen spotless.

What our guests say.

It felt like bringing a high-end restaurant into our home. Warm, friendly and a truly delicious dinner. Cannot recommend Chef Lara enough.

Lara was the first of our international superstars. Not only has she raised the bar in the kitchen, she’s our kind of ambassador.
