I create seasonal, nutrient-dense private dining experiences at home, with thoughtful storytelling around ingredients and optional wine, spirits, and cocktail pairings.

Shaun Hall

I design seasonal, local menus that feel personal—and taste unforgettable.

I’ve spent 10 years in hospitality and food production, and I now bring everything I’ve learned in bars and restaurants directly to your home. Together, we can collaborate on a menu that fits your event and your personal taste, while I handle the cooking and service so you can enjoy your guests.

Working outside the conventional kitchen lets me stay close to nature and local producers. I focus on high-quality, seasonal, sustainable ingredients—regeneratively farmed meat and vegetables, day-boat fish, organic fruit, and foraged finds—always prioritising flavour. I’m also professionally trained in wine, spirits, and cocktails, and I can add pairings, welcome drinks, after-dinner cocktails, or a spirit tasting, with non-alcoholic options available. I adapt every meal for dietary restrictions and allergies, preparing separately to minimise cross-contamination.

I’m happy to chat about your ideas

For me, cooking is the best way to connect with others.

What I bring to your table

I cook to connect

For me, cooking is the best way to connect with others, so I build each course around shared moments—great flavour first, with just enough context to make the ingredients feel meaningful.

I’m grounded in craft and training

I learned to cook in a variety of restaurants that made everything from scratch, and I’ve continued to sharpen my approach through courses like the CxM Ecology of Food Masterclass.

I let ingredients lead the menu

I source from producers with the closest connection to their ingredients, then I showcase the very best of what they grow or raise—simple, seasonal, and focused on flavour.

Shaun Hall’s Menus

I offer seasonal menus built around local, sustainable produce, with the flexibility to tailor dishes to your tastes and dietary needs. I can also add drinks pairings and cocktails to match the pace and mood of your event.

Stories and testimonials

Absolutely incredible. Shaun made our New Years Eve party one to remember. The food and presentation were perfect and he was so friendly and professional. Would 100% recommend and use again. Thank you Shaun

Shaun was absolutely amazing! Couldn’t recommend him enough. The food was outstanding & he was an absolute pleasure to have in our home. He really thought of every single little detail. Would definitely be using him again in the future

Carmelina Taylor

Process of booking was great and interaction with chef was good. He tailored the dish to our event. Was polite, attentive and produced a lovely meal. Thank you

Hayley

Chef Shaun really made our evening so special. He was really helpful and listened to what we were trying to achieve when we were agreeing the menu and everyone was really impressed with the food and presentation on the night. We were worried that it might seem odd having a stranger with us for a celebration, but in fact by the end of the night he knew our silly jokes and felt like one of the gang! Would absolutely recommend

Shaun cooked for us to celebrate my partner’s 40th birthday, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. He was friendly and attentive throughout—from our initial briefing where he immediately understood my requests, to executing the evening itself. Shaun made thoughtful suggestions and offered alternatives during menu planning, tailoring everything to suit the occasion. On the day, he arrived punctually, worked discreetly, and even surprised us with a signature birthday cocktail, which was a lovely touch! Each dish in the four-course menu was delicious, made with fresh and locally sourced ingredients which we enjoyed. It was a surprise for my partner, who thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Shaun for a private chef experience.
