Private Chef · Mayfair

Mayfair has a particular quality
that is sometimes misunderstood.

The people who live along the streets between Berkeley Square and Park Lane (in the Georgian townhouses on Mount Street, the discreet apartment buildings off Carlos Place, the large private residences behind the Connaught) have generally arrived at a point where they no longer need to signal anything to anyone. The standard is simply expected, and the expectation is high.

Entertaining in Mayfair tends to reflect this. A dinner party in W1K is rarely trying to impress. It is trying to be excellent. The guest list is selective. The menu is specific. The wine is chosen rather than selected. The evening moves at its own pace and leaves the right impression, not through effort, but because every element was considered correctly from the beginning.

Andrés has worked with Mayfair households across the full range: the investment dinner for eight where the conversation matters as much as the food, the private celebration that needs to feel genuinely special without being theatrical, the regular arrangement that becomes as much a part of the household as anything else. His approach is always the same: quiet preparation, absolute precision, remarkable food.

Andrés Ribera, Private Chef, Mayfair

The Chef

Trained to the
highest standard.
Devoted to yours.

Andrés Ribera is a London-based private chef with 15 years of professional experience, including more than six years in private households. Originally from Spain, his career has taken him through internationally respected kitchens, including Nobu, and celebrated dining rooms in New York, before moving into private work for some of the most discerning households and hosts in the UK and abroad.

He has cooked for royals, political figures, film directors, professional athletes, influential business leaders and some of the most recognisable names in music and entertainment, including Madonna. His cooking is rooted in Mediterranean elegance, Japanese precision and a deep respect for seasonal produce, with a strong command of accommodating complex dietary needs without compromising on flavour, balance or elegance.

Andrés works with a small number of Mayfair clients at any one time, which means his full attention (and his absolute discretion) is always available to yours.

FAQ

Questions about hiring a
private chef in Mayfair.

Everything you need to know before making an enquiry. For anything else, write to hello@godsavethechef.co.uk

  • Andrés works across the range of Mayfair properties: Georgian townhouses on the main residential streets, discreet apartment buildings off Carlos Place and South Audley Street, larger private residences near Grosvenor Square and Berkeley Square, and pied-à-terre apartments maintained by clients in London regularly but not always. He is completely adaptable to the size and layout of any kitchen.
  • Yes. Private home entertaining for professional purposes (a dinner for clients, a confidential discussion over an exceptional meal, a relationship-building occasion for partners or investors) is something Andrés handles with complete discretion and a menu designed to serve the purpose of the evening, not just to fill it.
  • Frequently. A number of Andrés's Mayfair clients are in London for specific periods (for work, for the season, or for particular occasions) and require a chef who can plan and execute a full evening with a short lead time. He manages everything from a single dinner to a full week of entertaining.
  • Entirely up to you and the occasion. Andrés is equally practiced in formal silver service for a large dinner party and simple, impeccably executed service for a quiet dinner of four. He matches your register rather than imposing one of his own.
  • All engagements are treated as entirely private as a matter of course. Andrés does not discuss, photograph or reference his clients' homes, guests or occasions, in any context, public or private. Confidentiality agreements are available as standard.
  • Yes, entirely. Andrés sources the produce, arrives well before your guests, cooks and serves through the evening, and returns the kitchen to order before he leaves. Everything from the shopping to the final tidy is taken care of, so nothing about the arrangements ever reaches the table.
  • Mayfair is part of Andrés's wider private chef in London service, with regular work in nearby Belgravia, Marylebone and Knightsbridge. For a broader view, see the private chef London page.
