A selection of the work in flight and the templates we return to. Each is a starting point, every commission is designed from scratch.

Group EscapeChâteau Saint Joseph, South of France
A five-day off-site for small leadership teams at a shuttered château in the south of France: private chef, long tables under flowering chandeliers, tasting itineraries, and quiet time built in. Not a corporate retreat, a considered one.

Group EscapeNaples, Italy
A working-week reset for a small executive team above the Bay of Naples. Mornings of strategy in a light-filled room, long lunches laid with wild herbs, lemons and Campanian ceramics, afternoons in the citrus garden with a rolling bar cart, dinners built around a chef in residence.

Concierge · TableBerlin, Germany
Whether it's a private dinner for a client, a closing celebration, or simply honest, brilliant cooking, Parker Bowles and a small book of Michelin-level kitchens across Berlin. We get you connected to the right room, the right chef, and the right table, often at short notice. Menus shaped with the kitchen, wine chosen for the table, service briefed before you arrive.

SignatureLondon · Art Deco Hidden Gem
A private art deco townhouse in central London, a hidden gem with a stone courtyard, a brass-clad hall and no in-house restrictions on catering, décor or timings. That freedom is the whole point: we bring in a private chef, a jollof and small-plates menu built with the family, hand-woven baskets from home, tropical fruit still-lifes, ochre pottery and pastel tapers on pale linen. Two heritages, one long table, one uncompromising standard of service.

SignatureRajasthan, India
A milestone birthday reimagined as a two-night stay in a restored fort, camel processions at dusk, thali dinners on rooftop terraces, folk musicians into the small hours. Cultural fusion at its most cinematic.

RetreatStone Town to the north coast, Zanzibar
Two islands in one. Mornings in Stone Town, spice markets, carved doors, Taarab musicians, dhows leaving on the tide. Afternoons at the resorts and private beach houses of the north coast, where the service is faultless and the sea does the rest. We move guests between both, so the trip has culture and comfort rather than one at the expense of the other.

SignatureFreetown Peninsula, Sierra Leone
The peninsula reads as coastline first: white sand, palm shade, a light that flatters everything after four o'clock. We built an evening around it, suspended blush florals over gold-framed rounds, a mirrored top table banked in roses, Moorish lanterns overhead, and a guest list dressed the way West Africa dresses. Local growers, local makers, imported nothing that could be found within an hour of the venue.

WeddingLeesburg, Virginia
A multi-day celebration on a private Virginia estate, bringing African and American traditions into one weekend. It opened with a traditional ceremony and cultural rituals at the bride's family residence, then a rehearsal dinner for guests arriving from three continents. Day two moved to the estate: a symbolic ceremony on open lawn, a reception inside the manor, candlelight, and a pace held quietly from start to finish.
London · Unexpected Spaces
We work with art deco townhouses, civic halls, converted warehouses and private courtyards, buildings with architecture worth photographing and, crucially, no house rules that flatten a culture. No fixed caterer. No approved supplier list. No last orders at eleven. That means a private chef cooking jollof and small plates properly, drummers at the entrance, a ceremony in one space and a feast in another, all inside a building most people walk straight past.
Architectural spaces with nothing dictated: catering, décor, music and timings all ours.
Chefs briefed to cook the food that actually matters to the family, at the standard the room deserves.
Ceremony in a civic hall, celebration in a hidden courtyard, movement handled so no one feels it.
The private chef · a signature celebration
Because the venue comes with no fixed caterer, the menu is written with the family rather than chosen from a list. We brief a private chef, build the menu across two culinary traditions, and hold it to one standard of service: everything arrives at temperature, at the same moment, for the whole room.
The menu, in movements
Suya skewers with red onion and micro herbs in palm-leaf dishes. Chapman punch with dried citrus and mint, alongside grower champagne and a proper zero-proof pour.
Jollof cooked over smoke, sweet potato and scotch bonnet velouté, grilled seabass with pepper sauce, ayamase, plantain three ways, and seasonal English vegetables handled with the same seriousness.
A tasting-menu discipline underneath it: one sauce per plate, correct temperatures, timed service to the table rather than a buffet queue. Michelin-trained chefs, family recipes, no compromise on either side.
Tropical fruit still-life, puff-puff with vanilla, chin chin and coffee, then a late table of small plates for anyone still dancing at two.
Zanzibar · Stone Town to the resorts
Stone Town gives the culture: the spice routes, the Taarab players, the food cooked the way families cook it. The north coast gives the comfort: five-star resorts, private beach houses, long tables under makuti thatch and a team who never let a glass sit empty. A week here should hold both, and the movement between them should be invisible.
Sierra Leone · The Freetown Peninsula
A second African portfolio, and a different register to Zanzibar. Here the work is couture-adjacent: suspended florals over gold-framed rounds, a mirrored top table banked in roses, brass lanterns, and a room that arrives dressed. Everything sourced within reach of the peninsula, styled with the restraint the setting already has.
Naples · The palace rooms
Access in Naples runs through the historic houses: gilded enfilades, coffered vaults, marble staircases lit like a stage. We open them for private dinners, drinks receptions and off-site openings, then style with restraint, because the architecture is the guest of honour.
Château Saint Joseph · The house
Pale stone, slate mansards and an ivy-covered wing in the south of France. We take the whole property for founders' retreats and private celebrations, so the house, the gravel courtyard and the long tables belong to one group alone.
Case studies
Weddings are one part of the work, and the clearest evidence of how we run multi-day, multi-country logistics. Each one has its own gallery.
The Concierge Desk
Not every request is a three-day production. Sometimes it's four seats at a Michelin table in Berlin on Thursday, a chef who'll cook off-menu for a client, or a private room found the same afternoon. That is the desk, quiet, personal, and built entirely on names we already know.
Chefs, maîtres d'hôtel and general managers we've worked beside, reached personally, not through a booking platform.
Same-week private dining, late additions to a table, a venue found in an afternoon. We work the phone so you don't.
Dietary needs, faith requirements, seating politics, the wine that matters, all handled ahead of the door opening.
Berlin, London, Lisbon, Milan, Marrakech. The same standard of introduction wherever the meeting lands.
Berlin · A great find
Not a hotel ballroom and not a restaurant booking. A small, seriously good kitchen that will cook off menu for eight or twenty eight, in a room held privately, with candlelight, proper glassware and service briefed before you arrive. This is the kind of address you only get through someone who eats there.
Six to thirty covers. One table, one menu, one kitchen paying attention all night.
Michelin trained hands, seasonal produce, and a menu shaped with the chef rather than chosen from a card.
Addresses most visitors never reach, opened by a phone call, often within the same week.
