Private Chef (Part-time)
Overview
A family of three, based in Notting Hill, is seeking a talented and reliable part-time Private Chef to prepare evening meals five days a week. Food matters a great deal to this family – they care about the quality and provenance of ingredients and are looking for someone who shares that standard and takes genuine pride in their cooking. This is a role with significant autonomy: the chef will own the full process from menu planning through sourcing to service.
Job duties
Responsibilities of the part-time Private Chef in Notting Hill, include:
- Prepare and serve dinner for the household five days a week (service typically around 6:00pm)
- Plan menus weekly, incorporating family preferences and feedback

- Maintain the kitchen to a high standard of cleanliness and organisation, and manage food stock
- Provide occasional weekend support (e.g. family lunches, small gatherings), agreed in advance
- Adjust menus for the family’s young child (4 years old, not a fussy eater — the family mostly wants her to enjoy the same food as the adults)
Candidates must be/have:
- Prior experience as a Private Chef, or a strong background in quality restaurant kitchens looking to move into private service
- Experience cooking for families with young children (desirable)
- Experience in healthy, ingredient-led cooking, comfortable across a wide range of cuisines (slight preference for Asian cooking) – a value on freshness, balance and skill over elaborate presentation
- Demonstrable experience sourcing high-quality ingredients in London, with (or the ability to quickly build) trusted supplier relationships
- Reliable, self-motivated and discreet, with excellent time management and the ability to anticipate needs proactively
- Punctual and consistent
