Small plates, guests on the move, a relaxed evening.
Chef & Chief caters walking dinners for weddings, birthdays, receptions and company events. At your home, in your garden or at a venue of your choice.
What is a walking dinner?
At a walking dinner your guests don't stay seated all evening. We serve a series of small plates that together make a complete meal.
Guests stand, move around and talk to whoever they like. It works well for family celebrations and for company events where people need to mingle.
There is no seating plan, and you need fewer tables and chairs than for a seated dinner.
Seven to eight dishes in small portions, from raw oysters and tartare to a warm dish and dessert.
We cook live on the barbecue or over an open fire during the evening. Ideal for a garden party or a summer wedding.
Raw and crudo, Mediterranean, international and tapas, dessert. Vegetarian and vegan always possible. See all small plates.
A homemade dessert or an artisanal dessert buffet. Wines, cocktails and alcohol-free options to match the menu.
