**Private Chef Chronicles: A Week in the Life of Le Frog Private Chef**

Although the last 7 days have been a little quieter on the event front, we've still had some memorable moments!

1. **Prohibition-Themed Birthday at Lorton House, Weymouth**: We traveled to this Victorian house in the middle of a nature reserve for a unique and unforgettable celebration. Sometimes we really do get to cook in the most extraordinary venues!

2. **Hen Party at The Leaping Trout, Bickleigh**: This converted pub, now a holiday let, was a new venue for us. Despite the less-than-ideal conditions (dirty ovens, broken doors, mouldy shower curtains, and more), we made sure everything was spotless before prepping any food. Our delightful guests had a fantastic time, and we left the place cleaner than when we arrived.

3. **Milestone Birthday in Silverton**: Just a stone's throw away, we catered for returning guests celebrating a special birthday. A bit of unexpected fun ensued when the sheep from the neighboring field decided to join the party, leading to some impromptu sheep herding in party dresses, high heels, and prosecco in hand!

We've also been busy in our test kitchen, working on new dishes, garnishes, and sauces. Trying new suppliers and sampling fresh ingredients keeps our culinary skills sharp. A chef's work never stops, and we look forward to more culinary escapades ahead!

As manic May continues, we've been busy with more events and exploring new locations. Let's dive into our culinary adventures:

Exploring the Paths to Private Chef Services: Email Inquiry vs. Quotation & Deposit

In the realm of event planning, securing the right culinary experience can elevate any occasion from ordinary to extraordinary. Whether it's an intimate dinner party or a grand celebration, the role of a private chef is paramount in creating memorable moments through delectable cuisine. But what are the differences between making a simple email inquiry versus opting for a quotation and deposit to secure your private chef services? Let's delve into these two pathways to culinary excellence.

**Email Inquiry: Exploring the Options**

The first avenue to consider is the straightforward email inquiry. This method allows potential clients to express their interest in private chef services for their event without committing to anything upfront. Here's how it works:

1. **Initiating Contact**: Clients reach out via email, outlining their event details, including the date, location, and any specific preferences or dietary requirements.

2. **Information Exchange**: Upon receiving the inquiry, the private chef service promptly responds, providing comprehensive information about their offerings, including sample menus, pricing, and availability.

3. **Menu Brochure**: As part of the response, clients often receive a menu brochure showcasing the diverse culinary creations available for their event. This allows them to peruse the options and envision the perfect dining experience for their guests.

4. **Exploration Without Commitment**: This approach grants clients the freedom to explore their options without any immediate financial commitment. They can review the information provided, ask questions, and decide if the private chef service aligns with their vision and budget.

5. **Time Sensitivity**: It's important to note that at this stage, clients take the risk of losing their preferred dates if they do not reply within a couple of days. The date remains open on the booking diary, and most private chefs operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Prompt communication ensures that clients secure their desired date before it's booked by someone else.

**Quotation & Deposit: Securing Your Date**

On the other hand, some clients prefer a more decisive approach, opting to request a formal quotation and secure their date with a deposit. Here's a closer look at this process:

1. **Requesting a Quotation**: Instead of a casual inquiry, clients formally request a quotation for the desired private chef services. This typically involves providing detailed information about the event, such as the number of guests, preferred menu options, and any additional services required.

2. **Customized Proposal**: The private chef service prepares a tailored proposal based on the client's specific requirements. This includes detailed pricing, menu options, service inclusions, and terms of agreement.

3. **Securing the Date**: Upon reviewing the proposal and confirming their decision, clients proceed to secure their date by paying a deposit, often around 20% of the total cost. This deposit serves as a commitment to the booking and ensures that the private chef service reserves the requested date exclusively for the client's event.

4. **Peace of Mind**: By securing their date with a deposit, clients enjoy peace of mind knowing that their culinary needs are taken care of, and they can focus on other aspects of event planning with confidence.

**Choosing the Right Path**

Ultimately, the choice between an email inquiry and a quotation with a deposit depends on the client's preferences, timeline, and level of commitment. While an email inquiry offers flexibility and exploration without immediate financial obligation, opting for a quotation and deposit provides a more structured approach, ensuring that the desired date is secured in advance.

Whether clients choose to dip their toes in with an inquiry or dive right in with a deposit, one thing remains certain: private chef services promise a culinary journey filled with flavor, creativity, and unforgettable moments for any event.

🌟 Chef's Chronicles Weekly Recap 🌟

Another whirlwind week in the culinary world, filled with surprises and challenges! Here's the rundown:

🍔 Friday: We kicked off the weekend with a double bill at Wonham House near Bampton. First up, an informal street food-style arrival dinner featuring smoked burgers, hand-cut chips, and grilled lobsters. Then, we curated a special 4-course custom menu to celebrate a memorable 60th birthday. Little did we know, we had a couple of A-listers in attendance – a delightful surprise once we caught them on TV later!

🌊 Sunday: Our journey took us to North Cornwall in Bude to cater to some Irish guests. Navigating through farmyards, muddy tracks, and tight lanes was just the beginning. The venue itself presented a myriad of challenges, from a greasy and non-functional extraction system to broken oven glass and worn-out settings. Our front of house team even stumbled upon sticky placemats and dirty cutlery in the service cupboard! Talk about an adventure.

🥜 And the plot thickens: Amidst serving starters, we were approached by a guest with a serious peanut allergy inquiry. Fortunately, none of our dishes contained peanuts, but our thorough deep-cleaning of the kitchen pre-service uncovered a half-open tub of peanut butter and a spoon – a risky discovery, but thankfully our sanitization practices saved the day!

🇫🇷 Monday: A quick day trip to Kensington brought back some sweet treats from the French consulate and Pâtisserie Paul's. However, our visit to Philippe Conticini left us a bit disappointed.

As we wrap up this wild week, we eagerly anticipate the madness that awaits us next week. Stay tuned for more culinary adventures! 🍽️

🔍 Thursday: We journeyed to Ashley Manor in North Devon for a thrilling Murder Mystery evening, complete with four-legged friends courtesy of Le Frog even the dogs get fed!

😂 On the funny side, we also received a food order for an event that had booked & paid a deposit for with another private chef, but they did choose from our Tasty Hen party menu. They were so disappointed when we told them that although the menu was ours, the chef they booked was a competitor! 🙈

Even if our chef is very talented, unfortunately, he cannot make dishes magically appear out of thin air.

🏦 Saturday was Peaky Blinder theme evening at Perys Hill with our Bistrot menu. Blinding event in a Fabulous Venue.

March has been a whirlwind of culinary adventures! 🌪️ From Hen parties to 90th birthday celebrations, each event brought its own unique challenges and triumphs.

👨‍🍳 Chef's Chronicle with Le Frog Private Chef 👩‍🍳 What a week it's been, filled with culinary adventures and unexpected twists! 🍽️✨

We kicked off with our second visit to Wonham House, where we had the pleasure of catering a double birthday celebration! 🎂 Our Seasonal Taste of Exmoor menu stole the show, featuring a delightful selection of locally sourced game, fish, and seafood. 🐟🦌 The flavors of Exmoor truly brought the festivities to life!

But our culinary journey didn't stop there! Our next stop was Pound Farm, where we encountered a plethora of dietary requirements. From allergies to nuts, seeds, and pulses, to gluten-free, egg-free, and lactose-free preferences, we were ready to accommodate every need. 🥜🥚🥛 We take your dietary requirements seriously and go above and beyond to ensure there's no cross-contamination or allergen present in our prep kitchen.

To our surprise, upon arrival, we found nuts, gluten, and dairy scattered throughout the host's kitchen. 😱 But fear not, we swiftly adapted and ensured a safe and enjoyable dining experience for all.

Next up, we made our debut at Croftview for the Dance Business Lab annual get-together. 💃 Despite initially simple dietary requirements, some guests hadn't communicated their needs, leading to a few surprises at mealtime. But fear not, we're experts at thinking on our feet! From nut and stone fruit allergies to unexpected dietary preferences, we quickly offered suitable alternatives to ensure everyone could enjoy the feast.

And finally, our last event took us to Shepton Mallet for a Valentine's Hen Party with a twist! 💖 From cheeky Greek cheeks to cocktail-making masterclasses, it was a night filled with laughter and joy.

As we look ahead to next week's culinary challenges, we're excited to continue serving up delicious dishes and creating memorable experiences for all our clients. 🌟 Stay tuned for more mouthwatering adventures with Le Frog Private Chef! 🍽️🎉

Despite the less-than-ideal conditions (dirty ovens, broken doors, mouldy shower curtains, and more), we made sure everything was spotless before prepping any food. Our delightful guests had a fantastic time, and we left the place cleaner than when we arrived. 3. **Milestone Birthday in Silverton**: Just a stone's throw away, we catered for returning guests celebrating a special birthday. A bit of unexpected fun ensued when the sheep from the neighboring field decided to join the party, leading to some impromptu sheep herding in party dresses, high heels, and prosecco in hand! We've also been busy in our test kitchen, working on new dishes, garnishes, and sauces. Trying new suppliers and sampling fresh ingredients keeps our culinary skills sharp. A chef's work never stops, and we look forward to more culinary escapades ahead! Stay tuned for more adventures with Le Frog Private Chef! 🐸✨ #PrivateChefChronicles #LeFrog #CulinaryAdventures #GourmetExperience #UniqueVenues #FineDining #HenParty #BirthdayCelebration #TestKitchen #NewDishes #FoodieLife

A week of culinary maddness

🍴 Le Frog Private Chef Chronicles 🍴 With 9 private dining events in the past 10 days, we've been keeping busy and creating culinary magic! Here's a glimpse into our recent adventures: 🏡 "The Cottage Beyond" saw us thrice, serving up traditional Sunday lunches, fish & chips with a French twist, and fully custom seafood menus. Our third visit came with an added challenge of navigating flooded roads after a night of torrential rain – a true test of our dedication! 🌳 Yggdrasill Treehouse in Morebath hosted our "Pour Deux" Chef's table experience three times. Picture this: an intimate dining affair for two, high in the treetops, featuring our specially curated 5-course menu. 🥃 From stag dos to "Same Pen*s Forever" parties, we've brought our culinary flair to @holwellfarmhouse near Bampton and The Coach House in Dawlish, complete with whiskey tastings and celebrations aplenty. 🦞 And who could forget the ever-popular "Lobsters & Burgers" at the Cider barn in Ashcombe? Despite narrow roads and fords, we braved the journey to deliver our signature dishes with flair. ☀️ As the sunshine beckons, we eagerly anticipate more culinary adventures in the weeks to come! Stay tuned for delicious delights and unforgettable experiences. #LeFrogPrivateChef #CulinaryAdventures #PrivateDining 🌟

🌟 Chef's Chronicles Weekly Recap 🌟 Another whirlwind week in the culinary world, filled with surprises and challenges! Here's the rundown: 🍔 Friday: We kicked off the weekend with a double bill at Wonham House near Bampton. First up, an informal street food-style arrival dinner featuring smoked burgers, hand-cut chips, and grilled lobsters. Then, we curated a special 4-course custom menu to celebrate a memorable 60th birthday. Little did we know, we had a couple of A-listers in attendance – a delightful surprise once we caught them on TV later! 🌊 Sunday: Our journey took us to North Cornwall in Bude to cater to some Irish guests. Navigating through farmyards, muddy tracks, and tight lanes was just the beginning. The venue itself presented a myriad of challenges, from a greasy and non-functional extraction system to broken oven glass and worn-out settings. Our front of house team even stumbled upon sticky placemats and dirty cutlery in the service cupboard! Talk about an adventure. 🥜 And the plot thickens: Amidst serving starters, we were approached by a guest with a serious peanut allergy inquiry. Fortunately, none of our dishes contained peanuts, but our thorough deep-cleaning of the kitchen pre-service uncovered a half-open tub of peanut butter and a spoon – a risky discovery, but thankfully our sanitization practices saved the day! 🇫🇷 Monday: A quick day trip to Kensington brought back some sweet treats from the French consulate and Pâtisserie Paul's. However, our visit to Philippe Conticini left us a bit disappointed. As we wrap up this wild week, we eagerly anticipate the madness that awaits us next week. Stay tuned for more culinary adventures! #ChefChronicles #CulinaryJourney 🍽️

👨‍🍳 Chef's Chronicle with Le Frog Private Chef 👩‍🍳 What a week it's been, filled with culinary adventures and unexpected twists! 🍽️✨ We kicked off with our second visit to Wonham House, where we had the pleasure of catering a double birthday celebration! 🎂 Our Seasonal Taste of Exmoor menu stole the show, featuring a delightful selection of locally sourced game, fish, and seafood. 🐟🦌 The flavors of Exmoor truly brought the festivities to life! But our culinary journey didn't stop there! Our next stop was Pound Farm, where we encountered a plethora of dietary requirements. From allergies to nuts, seeds, and pulses, to gluten-free, egg-free, and lactose-free preferences, we were ready to accommodate every need. 🥜🥚🥛 We take your dietary requirements seriously and go above and beyond to ensure there's no cross-contamination or allergen present in our prep kitchen. To our surprise, upon arrival, we found nuts, gluten, and dairy scattered throughout the host's kitchen. 😱 But fear not, we swiftly adapted and ensured a safe and enjoyable dining experience for all. Next up, we made our debut at Croftview for the Dance Business Lab annual get-together. 💃 Despite initially simple dietary requirements, some guests hadn't communicated their needs, leading to a few surprises at mealtime. But fear not, we're experts at thinking on our feet! From nut and stone fruit allergies to unexpected dietary preferences, we quickly offered suitable alternatives to ensure everyone could enjoy the feast. And finally, our last event took us to Shepton Mallet for a Valentine's Hen Party with a twist! 💖 From cheeky Greek cheeks to cocktail-making masterclasses, it was a night filled with laughter and joy. As we look ahead to next week's culinary challenges, we're excited to continue serving up delicious dishes and creating memorable experiences for all our clients. 🌟 Stay tuned for more mouthwatering adventures with Le Frog Private Chef! #

👩‍🍳 Chef's Chronicles 📖✨ This week's culinary journey was nothing short of extraordinary! 🌟 We kicked things off at Pound Farm for a unique Hen Party where the Husband-to-be joined the fun—a first for us! Despite facing oven challenges, we persevered to deliver a memorable dining experience. Note to self: always double-check those holiday let amenities! 🔥 Fuzzy Orchard welcomed us next for a birthday bash with French guests, allowing us to converse in our native language—an enjoyable twist! 🇫🇷 Then, it was off to Woham House Near Bampton for a Lobster & Burger feast that delighted our international guests, who hilariously mistook our chef's French flag for the Italian one! 🎉 Our final stop? Viney Hill, Gloucestershire, via Avon & Monmouthshire, for a grand 30th Birthday Private Dining Experience. The journey may have been long, but the celebration was worth every mile! 🎭 Fun facts of the week: Our chef got an unexpected nickname, "Mikado," courtesy of an autocorrect mishap from a supplier. And, a surprise call from our shoot master offered fresh game meat, including two Chinese water deer!

Remember @ursabear_cabin's feature on George Clarke's Amazing Spaces? Yes, that's the one! 🏠 We stepped into the heart of Bristol, gracing a stunning private home for a corporate Christmas Party that dazzled with festive cheer. 🌲 Discovering new local gems, we ventured to the captivating Lake View near Witheridge, where the ambiance added an extra sparkle to our culinary creations. 🚚 Ah, the perils of narrow lanes and dark nights! Our trusty truck encountered a hidden sharp stone, leaving its mark on our front splash guard. A reminder that the adventures come with their own tales! 🎉 The spirit of Christmas took us to Nigel's in High Bickington for a delightful "La France" themed gathering, a heartwarming tradition we cherish. 🎅 With more excitement brewing this week, we're geared up for another 5 extraordinary events before a brief pause to celebrate Christmas with our cherished families.
