South West Private Chefs

South West Private Chefs is an independent, bespoke private chef, wedding and event caterer located in Gloucestershire and Devon, England. South West Private Chefs started from a passion for travel, culture, fine wine, classic cocktails, and, of course, food. Our journey started in South West Devon, boasting tranquil farm life and gorgeous seaside; it is no surprise that it has influenced the menus with a ‘nose to tail’ and ‘fresh from the sea’ ethos. At South West Private Chefs, they craft unforgettable wedding experiences tailored to any budget, delivering the same finesse whether you choose high-end fine dining or a more budget-friendly menu. Their food and cocktail menus are fully bespoke, designed to match your taste, theme, and seasonality, ensuring a personalised celebration that reflects your vision. From intimate gatherings to grand receptions, they provide seamless, high-quality catering for every moment of your wedding journey. Partnered with the highly experienced Shaky Cocktails, SW Private Chefs offers a full bar service for your special day, from arranging table wine, bespoke cocktail packages, drinks receptions, recovery bars, negroni carts, etc., according to your needs. They can cater to outdoor events and can coordinate on-site catering facilities with the cooperation of your venue. They work with you to ensure the crockery, glassware and table linen are to your desired vision throughout the whole process, using Chipping Norton Event Hire. Our Menu Styles: Tastings An immersive scope that propels you through global flavours, each dish a homage to the South West’s coast and the Cotswolds’ farm life. With 5, 7 or 9-course tasting menus, which can all be paired by our in-house sommelier with fine wines to complement each course. Forged from seasonal, sustainably sourced ingredients, every creation dares you to crave more. Canapés Perfect for the drinks reception, these bite-sized appetisers are vibrant, delicious and packed full of flavour. Choose from our extensive menu, or let us create something to your taste. Why not add a cocktail and mocktail hour to accompany? Oysters & Caviar Our oyster menu is one that will wow! With over 30 options of flavoured and classic choices, hot or cold, this is really one not to be missed. With oysters from Porlock Weir, or Exmoor Caviar, this showcases luxury in the South West. Choose from various accompaniments and perfectly balanced with our premium vodka and fizz bar. 3 Course Dining Let us craft a bespoke 3-course menu tailored to your unique vision, ensuring every detail reflects your style. Choose our standard option, showcasing local produce transformed into fine dining excellence, or elevate your experience with our premium menu, blending luxurious ingredients with cutting-edge molecular gastronomy for an immersive culinary journey. Grazing Let us take the stress away with our grazing buffet tables, served to your guests with our experienced waiting team, letting your guests choose which delights to go for. We strive to meet all requirements where possible, offering budget-friendly buffets with a drop-off service, served in eco-friendly disposable packaging for convenience and sustainability. Feasting Invoke the grandeur of banqueting feasts, transforming tables into vibrant hubs of engagement, filled to the brim with meats, fish, and sides to tempt all. Whether it is a brunch style or lavish dinner, this is a colourful way to make the food the main event. Made with the idea of sharing, served on wooden boards and silver platters, this is a great conversation starter for all guests. Small Plates & Bowl Food If you are looking for a meal but do not want the full dining experience, then this is for you. Offering small plates, these ‘spirit of tapas’ flavourful dishes strike the perfect balance between canapés and a formal sit-down meal. Each meticulously crafted bowl or plate delivers classic dishes & flavours in smaller portions, inviting guests to spark conversation. Street Food Whether it is tacos, pizzas, asado bbq, or classic fish and chips, we have you covered. Our street food allows you to have all of your flavoursome favourites in one place. Again, our bespoke option allows us to take the stress away. Choose from plated or in eco-friendly disposable containers. Continue the fiesta with our themed bar service, from spicy margaritas to premium ale. Cotswold's Hampers Choose from our recycled polyester cooler bags or classic wicker hampers, filled with your favourite breakfast or lunchtime goodies. Ideal for the morning of the wedding, or to indulge the day after. Enjoy a premium bottled cocktail or a bottle of your favourite champagne, beer, or cider.
