I AM SYLVESTER, A PRIVATE CHEF PASSIONATE ABOUT PRECISION & PRODUCE. FROM MICHELIN KITCHENS TO PRIVATE VILLAS, I CREATE MEMORIES NOT JUST MEALS

BASED IN YORKSHIRE, UK,

AVAILABLE Nationally & Internationally.

MY EXPERIENCE SPANS FROM HAUTE CUISINE TO INTIMATE FAMILY MEALS, SHAPING A STYLE THAT IS REFINED, CREATIVE, LUXURIOUS, BESPOKE.

MY INTERNATIONAL CAREER HAS TAUGHT ME TO WORK WITH THE BEST EACH LOCATION HAS TO OFFER: FROM LINDISFARNE OYSTERS TO IBIZA’S RED PRAWNS, I CREATE A PLATE THAT IS SOURCED WITH INTENT.

IN PRIVATE SETTINGS, I UNDERSTAND THAT EXCELLENCE GOES BEYOND THE PLATE. AS A PROFESSIONAL, I SHOW DISCRETION, RELIABILITY AND SEAMLESS INTEGRATION WITH THE HOME.

MY ROLE IS NOT ONLY TO COOK, BUT TO CREATE AN EXPERIENCE THAT FEELS EFFORTLESS AND PURPOSEFUL.

My Services

  • I have strong experience in working as a private chef in the home, for extended durations. I work to the rhythm of a household by staying present when needed and unseen when not. I make effort to know what each family member loves to eat so I can deliver seasonal, refined meals that are bespoke to the diner, allowing natural integration into daily life.

  • I am available to hire privately in villas and on yachts, delivering a service that’s built around the space, the people and the moment. No fixed menus. No unnecessary complexity. Just well-executed food, clear thinking and smooth service. Plus peace of mind you will be sure to wow your guests.

  • I collaborate with hotels and creative spaces to develop food concepts and events that actually fit. No generic menus. No copy-paste ideas. Something built for the place, always considering the audience and essence of the place itself. I fit into your team and fuse our creativity to deliver on-brand, unique dining experiences. Short-term or seasonal.

  • I take over kitchens and spaces for high-impact events and experiences. This is about doing something specific, not just filling a calendar. One night or a short run. If you’re looking to activate a space, do something out-of-the-ordinary, create something that people actually remember… this works!

  • I design and run catering for retreats, so you don’t have to. Quality, considered, and aligned with the purpose of the retreat. I deliver great food that supports the retreat without overcomplicating it.
