In-home fine dining

Share in my passion for food...

I am a Henley-based professional chef with experience spanning 25 years across the hospitality industry working in some of the finest hotels and restaurants across the UK and the Channel Islands for some of the industry’s greatest (and sometimes fiercest) chefs including Gordon Ramsey and Marco Pierre White to name just two.

 

I have experiences from running the pass in a two Michelin star restaurant to more recently heading up the kitchen locally at The Golden Ball through 2019.

 

During my career I have also worked in contract catering at the highest level to running a 12 bedroom gastro pub single handedly!

Weddings

Impeccable food really makes your big day extra special, creating memories that guests will treasure forever. I can create bespoke menus to your exacting requirements and budget – whether multiple course fine dining or expansive finger buffets and barbecues – with my team on-site to ensure the highest levels of service throughout.

Parties & Entertaining

From canapés and bowl food to afternoon teas and barbecues, I can deliver the same level of catering skill and finesse to more informal events. Whether a small family gathering or a party for friends, my team and I will deliver the 'wow' factor.

Celebrate the festive season

"It was a joy to have Chef Simon Mckenzie and his team serve us his appetizing canapes at our corporate event. The service was outstanding with impeccably dressed staff who were friendly, professional and incredibly helpful. The canapés were stunning and tasted heavenly. Thank you Chef Simon it was a lovely start to our event".

"Simon and his team did an absolutely fantastic job of hosting a small wedding lunch for us at our house. We worked with Simon on the menu choice who had some wonderful spring/summer suggestions but still allowed us the flexibility to decide what worked for us. Even in a small group he managed to cater for both dairy-free and vegetarian options. His team were highly professional, friendly and fun and made everything really special. I would highly recommend if you are looking for something special".

"Taking on board all my requests and wishes, Simon created an amazing evening for my guests and me – starting with snacks on arrival, followed by canapes and then a seven course tasting menu. We all agreed the food was absolutely exceptional, as was the service throughout the evening. I would most definitely use Simon again, and would recommend him without hesitation.".
