About Chef Thomas Godfrey

My culinary journey is a result of passion and a commitment to excellence. I began my career in professional kitchens at a young age, developing a foundational understanding of the craft from the ground up. This early experience instilled in me a deep respect for quality ingredients and disciplined technique.

Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work in a variety of high-end establishments, where I refined my skills and developed a unique culinary voice. My approach is centered on innovation, taking inspiration from the finest seasonal ingredients to create memorable and elegant dishes. I believe that the best food is a balance of simple techniques and a deep understanding of flavor.

As a professional chef, I am dedicated to curating bespoke dining experiences that reflect my clients' vision and my own creative passion. My goal is to elevate every event, ensuring each plate is not just a meal.

Pricing & Payment

My pricing is designed to be transparent and flexible, tailored to your event’s unique needs. I always customize menus to suit your guests’ tastes, and ingredients are sourced and purchased by me. Where ingredient costs are charged to you, invoices will be provided for full transparency.

This is a 3-course dinner with an individual entree, main, and dessert, with sides to share. I work closely with you to craft a menu that reflects your preferences, ensuring every dish is memorable.
