About Me
I’m a private chef based between Surrey and London, with 20 years of experience working with high-profile clients—from royalty to elite athletes and other high profile individuals. My background spans professional kitchens, private households, and bespoke wellness-focused services, all rooted in a deep passion for flavour, nutrition, and seasonal cooking.
I specialise in tailored meal prep, one-on-one and group cooking training, and recipe development for brands. Whether I’m designing weekly menus for busy families, teaching clients how to cook with confidence, or showing a brand’s audience how to use their product in fun, healthy ways, my goal is the same: to make food both delicious and functional.
My cooking is influenced by my mixed heritage, global travels, and a lifelong obsession with quality ingredients. From home-milled breads and nourishing broths to gluten-free bakes and fresh cold-pressed juices, I believe food should energise, heal, and bring joy — every day.
Testimonials
Charlie was a pleasure to work with in our estate. He ran the kitchen smoothly, adapted effortlessly to changing guest numbers, and made excellent use of local produce. Always friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about food – the clients loved his cooking.
Charlie and his team were an incredible support to our household. With two children managing type 1 diabetes, nutrition is extremely important to us, and Charlie helped transform the way we approach food. He trained our housekeeper/cook to confidently create healthier, minimally processed meals that the whole family enjoys. The new menus are not only nutritious but fun and exciting for the children too. Charliealso guided us in making the most of our farm’s produce, helping us preserve seasonal ingredients and reduce waste. His knowledge, care, and hands-on approach made a real and lasting difference to our home.
Charlie has been our part-time personal chef since 2022, and we couldn't be happier. His creativity in the kitchen is unmatched – every meal is imaginative, delicious, and beautifully executed. He’s passionate, professional, and a joy to have around. Charlie quickly understood our plant-based, low-carb preferences and adapted effortlessly, even when other dietary needs came into play. We’d recommend him without hesitation.
We were truly sorry to see Charlie and Julie leave – we only wished they could have catered for the entire holiday in St Tropez. Charlie’s food was outstanding: varied, interesting, and consistently delicious. His passion for cooking was evident in every dish and truly inspiring to witness. Julie was equally fantastic, providing seamless front-of-house service. Together, they made a wonderful team and created a memorable experience for us all.
Having Charlie as my private chef made a real difference. He helped me hit my fitness goals fast while still cooking amazing, flavour-packed meals from all over the world. With my Caribbean background, it was a real bonus to have authentic dishes with a healthy twist. The food was always varied, well presented, and perfectly balanced.
Charlie has cooked for us on multiple occasions, including Christmas and dinner parties, and his food is always beautiful and delicious. He’s attentive to dietary needs, easy to talk to, and makes every event feel special. We wouldn’t want anyone else cooking in our home!
Charlie is a skilled and reliable chef who produces consistently delicious, beautifully presented food. He handled large events with ease, made great use of estate produce, and created everything from scratch – from kimchi to fresh bread.
A plate of heaven
