FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How is the pricing determined for a private dinner at my residence?
Pricing is presented as a singular, comprehensive fee for the evening with absolutely no hidden costs. This encompasses Chef Savin and his culinary team, the professional maître d'hôtel and front-of-house service, premium ingredients, fine tableware, glassware, full equipment, and elegant floral arrangements. The fee scales proportionately to accommodate larger guest lists and additional service staff. Upon sharing your date and guest count, Chef Savin will personally provide a transparent quotation.
Can the menu accommodate multiple dietary requirements, such as vegetarian preferences and severe nut allergies?
Yes, absolutely. Rather than being treated as a last-minute adjustment, all dietary requirements and preferences shape the menu design from the very first draft. Specialised vegetarian courses and allergy-safe alternatives are completely integrated into the culinary narrative, ensuring every guest enjoys an equally exceptional experience.
Is it possible to host the dinner al fresco on the terrace?
Yes, perfectly so, subject to seasonal weather conditions. Chef Savin meticulously structures the menu for outdoor dining, ensuring lighter starters are presented perfectly, while main courses are finished indoors and served the exact moment they are ready to preserve absolute temperature control.
