Your Preferences Briefed in Advance to a St Barts Private Chef

Who is this kind of service actually for? Chef's Barth works with a broad range of guests rather than one type. A couple might want a single dinner to mark an occasion during an otherwise quiet week. A family staying in a villa may prefer a chef throughout, with meals shaped around children's schedules and beach days. A group aboard a charter needs someone who understands provisioning, galley constraints and the pace of eating while cruising. The common thread is that the food is planned around the guests rather than fitted into a set format.

What does each arrangement include? For houses, menus are planned to preference, ingredients sourced accordingly, shopping and cooking handled, and the kitchen left clean afterwards. For events, chef and service staff are arranged together, with local concierge and event partners available when a celebration needs them. Who chooses the chef? Luigi Fumarola, the founder, an Italian chef with more than twenty years of international experience taking in Michelin-starred restaurants in England, France and Spain, luxury private residences and more than a decade aboard superyachts, including head chef roles on vessels up to 115 metres. He selects from professionals he knows through his own work and briefs them before arrival.
