Private chef with Michelin kitchen experience
Sustainable, seasonal catering for families, dinner parties, and events
Throughout The Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, and the UK, The Season Kitchen has been catering for countless special events since 2020. Your party, your guests, and your memories are in safe hands with our experienced chef Paul Evans.
Fresh, local, seasonal produce
Every ingredient is sourced by us, according to our values
The quality of the food at your event starts with the ingredients.
We create bespoke menus with locally sourced meat, fish, fruits, and vegetables. Supporting farmers and producers in our communities is important to us. You may even be eating food grown on The Season Kitchen’s allotment.
We work with the seasons and create dishes with produce when it’s at its most ripe, most fresh, and most flavourful. It’s the best way to guarantee each bite of your meal is delicious.
Restaurant standard food just for you
From intimate gatherings of loved ones to large parties, we’ve got you
The Season Kitchen’s founder, Paul Evans, oversees every part of the catering process. As a chef with two decades of restaurant experience, including in Michelin star kitchens, he is perfectly placed to ensure every morsel of food is exactly as it should be. Your menu will be unique to you, and we’ll handle dietary requirements too. No one should feel left out at a party.

People who appreciate quality and love to entertain
Our clients love excellent food and making memories. They’re also busy people. So, although they treasure getting together as a family, or with friends and colleagues, it happens too rarely. We get it.
Enjoying delicious food with loved ones doesn’t have to mean going to a restaurant… again. Our clients know that sometimes a crowded restaurant just isn’t special enough, and there’s another way to enjoy restaurant-quality food.
Whether we cook in your family kitchen or in a holiday home, we put you and your guests first. Your dietary requirements, your favourite flavours, and your stress- free evening.
-
Sustainable
Our suppliers produce incredible ingredients in and around the Cotswolds. That means no air miles, supporting our community, and organic farming practices.
-
Quality
Nothing leaves the kitchen without Chef Paul Evans’ approval. His experience in Michelin starred restaurants means his standards are high.
-
Seasonal
Flavour is everything. Food tastes best when it’s fresh, in season, and prepared properly. Working with nature and the seasons is at the core of what we do.
-
Bespoke
Chef Paul Evans creates every menu for every event from scratch. Your requirements are met, and your preferences are catered for.
-
Discreet
We’re often in our clients’ homes, at special events, and with important people. We do our jobs, make sure everyone is happy, and leave without a trace.
Paul Evans, Private Chef
A head chef with Michelin guide and 3 AA rosette experience…in your kitchen
Paul Evans cares about food, ingredients, and experiences, which makes him one of the best private chefs in the UK. After two decades of intense kitchen experiences, working his way up in pioneering kitchens all over Britain, Paul decided to take a new direction in 2020.
It was time to do things his way, on his terms. That meant working directly with producers, and directly with guests to create excellent food and excellent evenings. Flavour first, seasonal always.
The Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, and beyond
Private fine dining in homes all over the UK
The Cotswolds are famous because they’re beautiful, but we love them for another reason.
The producers, and their ingredients.
The rolling green hills of the Cotswold countryside don’t just look pretty. They’re responsible for naturally-fed animals, reared by expert farmers. They’re responsible for seasonal, fresh vegetables and orchards full of ripening fruit. Chef Paul Evans even organically grows product on his own allotment.
Perhaps the only thing The Cotswolds can’t supply - fresh fish and seafood - is sourced directly from Cornwall and prepared in the kitchen within 24 hours.

Level up your next event with a private chef
Stress-free events, restaurant- quality food, memories that last
If you love to entertain, or you’ve ever hosted an event with lots of loved ones, you know it’s tiring.
Planning the menu, sourcing the drinks, buying the food, preparing the ingredients, cooking everything to perfection, presenting it beautifully, serving it hot and on time… and then cleaning the kitchen. All while trying to spend time with your guests.
By working with The Season Kitchen you get to outsource everything. You get to breathe easy that every part of the menu is covered. You get to actually enjoy your event, laughing with your guests, topping up drinks, making memories.
