The summer table.
Properly done.
A London-based private chef for select summer engagements on the East End — villa dining, weekend gatherings and seasonal arrangements where what is on the table is as considered as where it is placed.
at its finest.
At your table.
The Hamptons in summer is one of the most concentrated environments for private dining in the world. The houses are extraordinary, the produce from the East End farms is exceptional, and the expectations of households here are correspondingly high. The best Saturday evening in Sagaponack or Water Mill is not at a restaurant — it is at home, with the right people around the right table, and food that holds the room.
Andrés brings to the Hamptons what he brings to every engagement: a menu built entirely from what is finest that morning — the farm stands of Mecox Bay, the day boats out of Montauk, the early corn and tomatoes that the East End does better than anywhere — treated with a precision that is invisible in the eating.
The cooking here leans into the summer: light, unhurried, Mediterranean in spirit, generous without being heavy. The kind of food that suits a long evening on a terrace.

Three ways to work
together this summer.
Summer Villa Dining
A dinner for eight on the terrace. A Saturday lunch that runs into the afternoon. A gathering of twenty with a menu built around Montauk striped bass and East Hampton corn. Each meal is shaped by the occasion, the guests and what is best from the market that morning. Shopping, preparation, service and clean-down all included.
Seasonal Retainer
For households who spend the summer on the East End and want a private chef woven into the rhythm of the house — daily cooking, weekly dinners, weekend entertaining. A consistent presence that adapts entirely to the schedule, the guests and the mood of the season.
House Party & Special Occasion
The birthday weekend. The fourth of July gathering. The house full of guests who all need feeding beautifully and without fuss. Andrés coordinates the full occasion — menu, service, any additional staff required — so that you host without having to think about any of it.

The Chef
Trained to the highest standard.
Devoted to yours.
Andrés Ribera is a London-based private chef with over 14 years of experience across celebrated kitchens in Europe and the United States. His approach to summer cooking in the Hamptons is rooted in the same principle he applies everywhere: start with the finest produce available and do as little as possible to diminish it.
On the East End, that means the farms of Bridgehampton and Amagansett, the day boats from Montauk, the stands that open at six in the morning with what was picked or caught the night before. The cooking is Mediterranean in spirit — confident, seasonal, built for long summer evenings.
He has cooked for royals, film directors, private collectors and professional athletes across the UK, Europe and the United States — always with complete discretion and one standard.
