Settle in. We'll take care of the meals.

A holiday for the person who usually organises everything, too

You know how it goes. Everyone is finally together, but someone still has to work out what's for dinner, make the shopping list and disappear into the kitchen while the afternoon carries on outside.

It doesn't have to be you.

With the meals agreed before your stay, there's less to coordinate once you arrive. You can join the conversation, stay a little longer by the pool or head out for the day knowing there's something good to come back to.

From the first shared breakfast to the last dinner together, food becomes part of the holiday rather than another job to divide up.

Your days set the pace. The menus follow.

A slow morning calls for something different from an early start. A day out exploring might mean you only want dinner at the villa. Another day, you might want everyone to stay put and enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner together.

Tell Justin how you want the stay to feel. Together, you'll choose which meals you'd like prepared, when you'd like to eat and the style of food your group enjoys. You don't have to build your holiday around a fixed dining schedule.

Think a relaxed breakfast before everyone heads off, a colourful lunch to share in the shade, or a beautifully plated dinner that gives the evening its own sense of occasion. These are starting points, not a set package. Your menus are personal, with fresh variety across the meals you book.

For retreat hosts, one less thing to juggle

When you're hosting a retreat, the time between sessions matters too. Meals give your guests a chance to pause, talk and get to know one another without anything else on the agenda.

Justin plans the food around your programme, whether that's a leisurely lunch after a morning workshop, an earlier dinner before an evening session or a final meal to bring everyone together before they leave.

Share your timetable, the atmosphere you're creating and what your guests enjoy eating. Meal times and service are agreed around that plan, so you can focus on hosting rather than coordinating the kitchen.

From the shopping list to the kitchen clean-up

Your bespoke quote covers menu planning, shopping and ingredients, preparation of your chosen meals, plating and service, and kitchen clean-up. Chef equipment and any additional service staff needed for the agreed booking are included too.

You receive one tailored total for the complete stay, based on your group, menus and the meals you've chosen. There's no need to book every breakfast, lunch and dinner: we'll work out what makes sense for your plans and confirm what's included before you book.

Start with the stay you have in mind

Send Justin your dates, property location, number of guests and a rough idea of the meals you'd like. If you're organising a retreat, include your programme or the outline you have so far. It doesn't need to be perfectly planned.

Tell him what your group loves to eat and flag any dietary requirements for discussion during the consultation. From there, he'll shape a menu and quote around your stay.

Justin replies personally within 24 hours, often sooner, including weekends and holidays, with availability, a custom menu and quote based on the details you provide.
