Restaurant-level, produce-led cooking delivered into your home by a two-chef team with a decade of superyacht experience. I bring precision, polish and calm execution from working with high-net-worth clients at sea, now focused on refined private dining in the Cotswolds. Expect confident, modern European menus, beautifully presented plates and seamless service — whether an intimate dinner or a larger celebratory evening.

Tell Ivan what you have in mind: the occasion, the group, the twist. They’ll come back with a quote shaped around it.
I'm a private chef, cooking for people wherever they're staying, from relaxed family-style feasts to six-course tasting menus. Everything is built around organic, locally sourced produce and cooked in your own kitchen. Stevie looks after front of house, the styling, the service and the cocktails, so the evening runs itself and you get to enjoy your own party.
What I'm known for
Six-course fine dining, cooked in your kitchen and pitched where you want it, from relaxed to black-tie, using the best local produce.
My background and experience
I trained under Paul Heathcote at his Longridge restaurant, then spent the best part of two decades cooking on luxury superyachts, in private villas and ski chalets, and in Michelin-starred kitchens including the three-star Moor Hall, No 6 in Padstow and Gilpin Lodge. In 2023 I was runner-up at the Yacht Chef of the Year competition in Monaco. I've cooked for private clients around the world, and I bring that same standard to your table.
