Samuel

The kitchen comes to you

Travelling Chef

Villas, chalets, yachts, shooting lodges, houses taken for the summer. Samuel travels with everything a kitchen needs except the view.

The commission

Based in the South West of England, Samuel works throughout the United Kingdom and internationally — the Mediterranean in summer, the Alps in season, and wherever a yacht happens to lie. Equipment, sourcing and preparation are planned in advance so that an unfamiliar kitchen never shows in the food.

Whether it is a week in a chalet, a fortnight aboard, or a single dinner at the end of a long journey, the standard does not travel economy: the same produce-led cooking, the same calm service, the same spotless kitchen left behind.

Settings

Anywhere with a table. Or without one.

Villas & holiday houses

A stay in which no one thinks about food — long lunches, dinners timed to the light, a kitchen that runs itself.

Chalets

Mountain appetites, met properly: substantial mornings, restorative evenings, and a table worth coming down for.

Yachts & sailings

Galley-planned menus provisioned in advance, cooked to the conditions, served whatever the sea decides.

Lodges & remote houses

Where the nearest restaurant is an hour away and irrelevant. The kitchen travels complete.

An unfamiliar kitchen should never show in the food. Sourcing, equipment and preparation are settled before arrival — so the first evening tastes like the tenth.
