HERTFORDSHIRE
The Table

Dinner, cooked
in your kitchen.

Private dining in your home. Seasonal menus built around whole animals and named local farms. Tell me the date and the table, and I'll build the rest.

I'm Mike, a senior chef with over twelve years in London's top kitchens. I've worked every section at Goodman Steakhouse, Zelman Meats and Galvin at Windows, and cooked everything from intimate dinners to wedding parties and weekly meal prep.

Everything I cook is built around one principle: the best ingredients, treated with respect. Native Beef and Lamb from Chalfont St Giles, pasture-fed and butchered on site. Chicken from Potash Farm in Hertfordshire, free-range and slow-grown. Vegetables seasonal and organic where possible. No seed oils, ever.

My specialisms are fermentation, gut-health cooking, low carb and keto. Plant-based tasting menu, farm-to-table barbecue, or fine dining for eight, the philosophy is the same: real ingredients, real technique, nothing unnecessary.

Also available: a seven-course British fine-dining tasting built on Native Beef, and weekly meal-prep plans, organic and gluten-free. Ask when you enquire.

The Compass

Find your
way back.

Health was never only about food. It's how we cook and eat, how we move, how we rest, and who we gather with. Nine layers, worked in order, from the body's foundations to the deepest questions.

Tap a layer to look inside.

A residential retreat is in the making: a few days to cook, eat, move and slow down, and carry the old skills home.
