Why Pommes and Butlers
The food people talk about for weeks.
Not just a good meal. Clients tell us it was the best food they have ever had at a private event. That is what we aim for, every time.
Nothing is too much to ask.
Dietary requirements, last minute changes, limited kitchen equipment, unexpected guests. Whatever the situation, we adapt without fuss and make it work.
Present when needed. Invisible when not.
Friendly, professional, and completely at ease in your space. We take care of everything so you never have to think about it.
We leave your space spotless.
Every event ends with a full clean-down. Your kitchen will be spotless before we leave. Most clients say they were pleasantly surprised. We think it should be standard.

CLIENT STORIES
Meet the Founders
People behind your experience.
Lina and Lawrence met in their early twenties working in the same restaurant. Years in hospitality, long shifts, and endless conversations about food slowly shaped a shared philosophy, that exceptional food should not be reserved for restaurants or special occasions.
After running a traditional pub and walking away from it, they took time to travel and rediscover what they truly loved about cooking. Private dining gave them the answer. The creative freedom, the direct connection with guests, and the ability to make every occasion feel genuinely personal.
With over three decades of combined experience between them, Lawrence leads the kitchen and Lina manages client relationships and specialises in cooking for guests with complex or niche dietary needs.
“Food should always be the centrepiece of the experience.”
