Why a private chef works for a girls trip

The restaurant always wants the table back.

Every group has had the dinner where the waiter hovers, the next booking is waiting and the best story of the night gets cut off at the bill.

A dinner where you’re staying means nobody has to leave. Shoes off, the good glasses out and the table yours until the last story is told.

The best nights with these women have always been the ones where nothing much happens except each other.

Dinner, without anyone asking for the table back.

What a private chef dinner is like

Dinner comes to you.

A private chef dinner usually means a chef cooking and serving where your group is staying, so dinner happens at your own table instead of a restaurant.

  1. The kitchen fills up.

    Someone else at the stove, the smell drifting into the living room while everyone gets ready.

  2. Course by course.

    Plates arriving at your own table, and nobody worrying about the time or the next booking.

  3. The table stays yours.

    Dessert, another bottle and the stories you only tell when nobody is waiting for the table.

  4. Friends in pyjamas at a candlelit birthday dinner

    Then make it a weekend.

    Book it, then pick a girls weekend in your city, with somewhere to stay, the food, the drinks and where to next, already in an order that works.

The food people.

Dinner is the main event.

The night in crowd.

The long table crowd.

Nobody asks for the table back.

Every age at the table.

From the twenty somethings to the friends who’ve been to every birthday since school.

A milestone birthday.

A cake at your own table and a toast nobody rushes.

Real girls trip reviews

In their own words, exactly as written.

THE LONG LUNCH.

Best part of the weekend.

No one making us leave just when we were having fun. We ordered another bottle and stayed put. Perfect.

Somehow the weekend felt full and lazy at the same time.

I mean that as a massive compliment.

A dinner, or a whole girls weekend

Stay in, then stay over.

A great dinner is a great night. Then the lifts home get booked and the best conversation of the year ends in the hallway.

A My Ultimate weekend is the whole thing in one booking: somewhere to stay, something to do built in, the food, the drinks and where to next, so the day turns into a weekend together.

Somewhere to stay, already in it.One living room for the getting ready, the debrief and the morning coffee.
One front door at the end of the night.Everyone stays in the same place.
