Yes – hen party catering is one of our most popular bookings in Bath, and for good reason. The city and its surrounding countryside are full of stunning holiday rentals, and a private chef turns any of them into the setting for a Hen Do party to remember.
Instead of everyone taking turns at the hob, you get a private dining experience built around the group: sharing platters, brunch spreads, or a full sit-down dinner, depending on what the weekend calls for. Our Bath private chefs catered everything from relaxed grazing boards to a full fine dining experience for a hen weekend.
It also means the host gets and all the braid maids actually enjoy the weekend instead of running a kitchen rota.
It depends on the event. Some guests want a casual dining experience – simple, comforting food, minimal fuss, plenty of sharing plates. Others are after multiple courses, careful plating, wine pairing suggestions, and a formal approach. Our chefs cover both ends of that spectrum and everything in between.
Whether you need someone for cooking for events like a corporate dinner, or a Bath private chef who specialises in fine dining catering for , we got you covered. Cuisine-wise, our chefs handle everything from British classics to Mediterranean, Asian-inspired, and modern vegetarian menus, and every chef on our books has genuine restaurant experience behind them – so you’re getting proper technique, not just a keen home cook.

Our private chef menus are built around your guests so if half the table is vegan and the other half wants a Sunday roast, your private chef will adapt around that ,everyone eats well, nobody’s left with the one sad side dish.
We’d recommend 4-6 weeks notice for a standard dinner party booking, and 6-8 weeks for larger events like hen parties or milestone celebrations, especially in peak summer and Christmas periods when Bath private chefs get booked up fast.
That said, we know plans change. If you’re closer to the date than that, get in touch anyway – we’ll always try to make event catering work if a chef is available in Bath.
Pricing depends on guest numbers, menu complexity, and how many courses you’re after. A simple dining at home setup for four will cost less than a five-course fine dining experience for a dozen people.

Expect your kitchen to smell incredible,beautifully presented, served, and absolutely no washing up in the end .Home dining with a private chef means restaurant-level food without leaving the house – the chef arrives, preps, cooks, plates, and serves, while you focus on your guests instead of your oven timer.
It’s a different kind of home chef service to what most people imagine: this isn’t a meal kit or a delivery. It’s cooking at home, live, with someone who genuinely knows what they’re doing, from the first knife cut to the last plate cleared. Guests tend to remember it long after the plates are gone, which is really the whole point of booking a private chef in Bath hosts to keep coming back to.

This is especially popular for hen parties and bigger special occasion dining where you want to be a guest at your own event, not the person topping up drinks all night.
