Private Chef in the Yorkshire Dales

Looking to hire a private chef in the Yorkshire Dales?

I'm Shaun, a travelling private chef for hire in the Yorkshire Dales

My home turf – I was born and bred near Skipton, the Gateway to the Dales – I cook at homes, holiday cottages and venues throughout the Yorkshire Dales. At home I look out across Craven to Malham Cove, the Three Peaks and beyond, and source many of my ingredients – including meats, veg, bread and honey – from local farms and shops in Settle, Skipton and Barnoldswick.

Shaun came in and cooked for a 50th birthday party where one of the party was gluten free and dairy free. We had a beautiful 3 course meal, flavours were delicious and all ingredients were top quality. Shaun was great with all the organisation... he is friendly, diligently works in the background and left a very tidy kitchen. Would highly recommend.

Book the Cook

How much does it cost?

A meal cooked fresh at your property is typically from £45 to £60 per person for a two or three course meal (which includes the cooking, serving, cleaning up and to cover ingredients).

A £100 deposit books and secures the date. Half of the remainder is due a fortnight before the meal, with the balance payable on the night, either when I arrive or after the meal.
