Services & Pricing | gloom-rider

Choosing the right culinary service depends on your goals. Are you celebrating? Learning? Simplifying weekly meals? Our range addresses different needs while maintaining consistent quality across every offering.

Below you will find detailed descriptions and transparent pricing. We believe in clarity. There are no hidden fees, no surprise charges. The price listed is the price you pay, inclusive of ingredients, preparation, service, and cleanup.

Private Chef Experience

£185 per person (minimum 4 guests)

Our signature offering. A chef arrives at your home three hours before service, transforms your kitchen into a professional workspace, and delivers a multi-course tasting menu designed specifically for your evening.

The experience typically unfolds over three to four hours of dining. Between courses, your chef visits the table, explaining inspiration and technique. This is not catering—this is immersive gastronomy.

What's Included

Pre-event consultation to design your menu
5-7 courses showcasing seasonal British produce
All ingredients sourced and delivered
Full table service throughout the evening
Complete kitchen cleanup before departure
Printed menu cards for each guest

Optional Additions

Wine Pairing: £65 per person — Our sommelier selects wines matched to each course.

Extended Menu: £45 per person — Additional courses for longer celebrations.

Cooking Workshops

£89 per person (groups of 2-6)

Corporate Events

Custom Quote based on requirements

Food shapes corporate culture more than most recognise. Team lunches, client entertainment, away day catering, board dinners—each carries distinct requirements and unspoken expectations.

We work closely with executive assistants and office managers to understand context. A pitch celebration differs from a team-building exercise. A client dinner requires different energy than an all-hands lunch. We calibrate accordingly.

Corporate Offerings

Executive lunches and dinners
Team cooking competitions
Conference catering
Product launch events
Holiday party catering
Regular office meal programmes

Pricing depends on scale, location, and requirements. Contact us with details and we will provide a comprehensive proposal within 48 hours.
