For The Inner Circle

Private Chef

Shapsy in your kitchen. A four-course Caribbean tasting menu, 8 to 24 guests, all the showmanship of the truck without the queue.

How It Goes

The Experience

We arrive 90 minutes before service with everything we need — pimento wood already lit on the way in. You don't lift a finger.

Shapsy cooks in your kitchen, plates in your dining room, and explains every dish as it lands. Front-of-house staff bring it out, top up drinks, and clear down. By the time you're on dessert the kitchen is already spotless.

You wake up with a clean house and a story your guests are still talking about.

Tonight's Menu

A Sample Tasting

Every booking is bespoke — but here's a typical evening to anchor the imagination.

Welcome
Saltfish Fritter, Pickled Scotch Bonnet
Crisp outside, soft inside. The bite that wakes the palate up.
— with sorrel-rum spritz
Starter
Pumpkin Soup, Brown Butter, Coconut
Roasted Caribbean pumpkin, slow-toasted spice, a swirl of coconut cream.
Main
Jerk Chicken Supreme, Rice & Peas, Charred Plantain
Free-range thigh and breast, pimento-smoked, finished over open flame. Side of pickled slaw.
— with overproof punch or alt-pairing
Dessert
Sweet Potato Pudding, Rum Caramel, Coconut Snow
Slow-baked, sticky, deeply spiced. Lighter than it sounds. Heavier than it looks.
— with single-estate Jamaican coffee
The Practical Bit

What You Need

A Working Kitchen

Standard hob & oven. We bring everything else. We don't need fancy.

Outdoor Space

For the grill — patio, balcony, garden. No garden? We have a portable rig.

8–24 Guests

Smaller and we struggle to do four courses well. Bigger and you want full catering.
