I create flavour-driven private dining experiences, with the same care I’d cook for my own family.

Guilherme Tavares

I cook with passion, precision, and a guest-first mindset.

I trained as a chef in Portugal (Estoril) and I’ve been cooking since I was a little kid. For me, great food is about pleasure, connection, and making every moment at the table truly enjoyable.

My career has taken me from high-end yacht kitchens to cooking for a Premier League professional footballer, and I bring that same consistency, discretion, and attention to detail to every private service I do.

Tell me about your event

My secret in the kitchen is treating food with respect and love.

What you get when you book with me

I cook with real passion

Cooking is my whole life—I talk about food with passion and love, and I bring that energy into every dish I serve.

I’m grounded in training and real kitchens

I learned through school and my family—my family had a restaurant, so after school I was always there, building discipline and skills from the ground up.

I respect ingredients and the experience

My philosophy is simple: I treat every ingredient with respect and love, and I focus on creating an experience that feels warm, personal, and memorable.

Guilherme’s Menus

I offer curated menus inspired by the cuisines I love—ideal for intimate dinners or larger gatherings. I keep flavours bold and balanced, and I always aim to deliver a smooth, enjoyable experience from the first bite to the last.

Wesley Hughes

Its been the first time we've hired a private chef, and it definitely won't be the last. We had the most fantastic night. Having chef G made the night so relaxed, he was engaging but not intrusive, and the food was thorougly enjoyed by all the guests. I would not hesitate to recommend chef G to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

Guilherme was fantastic from the moment we booked him. He went above and beyond, even preparing two additional dishes to make sure the guests were satisfied. He came in, did his job, no questions asked, and was tidy in cleaning up afterwards. The whole experience was extremely comfortable and professional from start to finish.

Adam Kitchen

Guilherme was so fab! Such a nice guy, made a new unknown experience so comfortable! We dined in an outside area and he was a champ in contending with the horrendous weather, he wasn’t phased and the food was still presented beautifully. Couldn’t have done enough, and the food was incredible.

Eleanor Cope

We had chef Guilherme cook our Christmas dinner. It was a fantastic way to spend Christmas. I had no worries and could just enjoy the whole day. From the very beginning he was brilliant. The commutation was really good and he quickly replied to any of my queries. Nothing was too much trouble. He helped decide on a wonderful Christmas menu and really delivered. The food was unbelievably tasty and cooked perfectly. Everyone commented on the fact they had never had carrots and parsnips so delicious. It was beautifully presented on our plates. I have a houseful of men with big appetites and there was plenty of food to fill them and have second helpings. The desserts were served later in the day because everyone was so full and we wanted to be hungry enough to enjoy them. They did not disappoint and were worth having had later because like everything else they were delicious. I would definitely recommend having a chef for your special occasion. Chef Guilherme was the first chef we have used and if you want tasty food,beautifully prepared with no worries then he definitely fits the bill. Thankyou chef
