Can you serve our meal and clear plates?

The Intuitive Chef can offer full-service event catering, whatever the size of your gathering. Table service, bar tenders and event managers can be included in your bespoke event catering quote.

Should we choose a plated or family-style sharing menu for our catered event?

Plated options are more formal, but do allow you to start eating immediately and can work better if you have speeches or toasts, or if you want the meal to be finished in a certain timescale. Sharing platters make for a more relaxed and sociable dining experience, allowing everyone to choose for themselves. It’s also possible to combine the two: a plated starter and family-style dishes for main works really well.

Can you cook something different for the kids?

Of course! Whether I’m catering for a wedding or a smaller family celebration, we can discuss children’s food at menu planning time, according to preferences. Whatever we settle on, it’ll be freshly prepared, wholesome and beautifully presented.

What if we need to cancel or our numbers change?

To confirm your private chef or catering service with The Intuitive Chef, a deposit is payable to confirm the booking, which is non-refundable in case of cancellation. Full cancellation terms are set out in the Ts and Cs. Adding numbers is fine up to three days before the event date.

Where do you work?

The Intuitive Chef is based in Frome, Somerset and can cater for private dining, events, weddings and corporate functions across Somerset, Dorset, Wilshire, Devon, Hampshire and often, further afield! Just ask if you’re not sure whether our catering services can be delivered at your venue location.

Do you provide meal prep / fridge filling / delivery meals?

Yes! At busy periods when you have a house full of guests or when renting an airbnb, a helping hand with meals is always welcome. I can come and cook meals for you in advance, deliver freshly prepared platters (breakfast, sharing boards, afternoon tea, buffet meals) according to your needs. Get in touch to find out more.

Can you provide crockery, cutlery, glassware and linens for our catered event?

Absolutely. The Intuitive Chef has great relationships with a number of excellent local suppliers who can provide whatever you need. Please ask for a quote.

Can you decorate the table too?

Yes! A beautiful table is as important as the food, so I offer a tablescaping service that uses fresh seasonal flowers, foods and objects from nature to make your table as exciting as the meal. Again, please ask for a quote.
