I bring refined classic cooking into your home, from intimate dinners to large-scale events—always with fine-dining precision and warm hospitality.

Alan Irwin

I create refined, seasonal Modern European dining experiences in your own home.

I’m Alan Irwin, and I’ve built my career in top fine-dining restaurants, leading gastro pubs, and luxury hotels—bringing the same attention to detail to private dining as I do in professional kitchens. I started young, driven by a fascination with food and the ambition to be the best I can be, and that path took me to London where I helped win and retain a Michelin star and achieve four AA rosettes over the better part of a decade.

I’ve cooked in flagship two-Michelin-star settings, reached the finals of the Gordon Ramsay Scholarship and the Roux Scholarships (top 3 twice), and earned awards as a head chef—including Good Food Guide Restaurant of the Year for South East England and Best Restaurant in Kent two years running. Today, I also bring this experience to private residences and charters across Europe, tailoring each menu to your occasion—from 2 guests up to 300.

Plan my event with me

For me, cooking is my life and my passion—if I want to live well, I must eat well.

I cook with fine-dining standards, but I keep the experience relaxed and personal.

I cook with purpose and passion

Cooking is my life and my passion, and I believe that to live well I must eat well—so I focus on flavor, balance, and execution that feels special without ever feeling fussy.

I’ve trained in the best environments

I learned by working in some of the best establishments in the country, from Michelin-starred kitchens to luxury hotels and top gastro pubs, and I bring that discipline and consistency to every service I deliver.

I let seasonality lead the menu

My secret in the kitchen is seasonality and simplicity—when ingredients are at their best, I keep the cooking clear and confident so the produce speaks for itself.

Alan’s Menus

I offer refined, course-led menus with thoughtful choices across each stage of the meal. I keep the cooking rooted in classic technique, guided by seasonality, and tailored to your guests and occasion.
