Find Private Chefs in Somerset

Frome, Bruton, Castle Cary, Wells, Taunton and the Somerset villages.

Somerset is the home of Cheddar and of a long tradition of cider making, and its farms, orchards and dairies give a private chef excellent ingredients to work with. Menus here tend to follow the seasons closely.

Private dining in Somerset covers dinner parties in Frome and Bruton, family celebrations in farmhouses around Castle Cary and Somerton, and holiday-home weekends on Exmoor and the coast. Tell the chef about your kitchen and the setting before they plan the menu.

The county is large and largely rural. Ask how each chef charges for travel, and check the areas listed on their profile.
