Looking to hire a private chef in Durham?
I'm Shaun, a travelling private chef for hire in Durham. I come to you - your home or holiday cottage - and cook!
After agreeing a menu choice for your meal, I shop for the ingredients, bring all of my own kitchen equipment, plates and crockery to Durham, cook the meal, serve, clean up, pack up and leave the kitchen spotless - allowing you to relax and enjoy the food and company.
Durham is familiar stomping ground as I cook throughout the North of England. If you're looking for an independent, quality private chef who will travel to your home, holiday cottage or hired venue in Durham, have a look at what I do and get in touch. It would be my pleasure.
I am an independent, self-employed private chef. If you book me, I will be the one who comes and cooks for you in Durham.

I arranged a surprise 30th birthday celebration for my partner and wanted to make the evening extra special. After finding Shaun online and doing some research, I was blown away by how incredible his food looked.
From the very start, Shaun was fantastic helping us craft the perfect menu for our group of 14 while accommodating various dietary requirements. His communication and professionalism throughout the process made everything effortless.
On the evening of the celebration, Shaun arrived promptly and immediately got to work. Despite never having cooked in that particular kitchen before, he moved around with ease, as if he’d worked there for years. Every ingredient he used was fresh and locally sourced, and he took the time to explain each course as it was served.
The portions were generous, and every dish was bursting with flavour. The entire experience was flawless, and our guests were beyond impressed.
If you’re looking for a private chef who delivers outstanding food and a seamless dining experience, I can’t recommend Shaun highly enough!

Shaun is a delight to work with. We asked him to cook for six of us on a family holiday in the Lake District where we celebrated our Ruby Wedding Anniversary.
From our first enquiry right through to and including our dinner party he was professional, attentive and very flexible in his approach. He cooked and served us a fabulous meal making the occasion very special.
The produce he uses is the best and everything was cooked fresh on site. Afterwards the kitchen was spotless so no washing up!
We highly recommend Shaun and wish him well with his flourishing business.
