Welcome to PG Chef
With over 4 decades of experience, we pride ourselves in delivering a world class experience at your home, anywhere on your Estate even aboard your yacht.
You won’t find any pre priced menus or tick box order sheets here, we offer unique, bespoke menus to all our clients for all events.
After an initial chat to discuss your requirements, dates and amount of people, we will put together a suggested menu and anything else you may have requested as a draft document, once this has been agreed upon and finalised, we will then be able to provide an accurate costing on this for you.
We will then ask you to please sign off the menu alongside the associated quoted price, pay our small deposit and your booking will be confirmed.
We are based on a Highland Estate on the West Coast of Scotland so know a few things about remote location working and working to budgets. Give us a call, hopefully we can take some pressure of you and allow you to enjoy your time away.
Restaurant @ Home Experience
This exclusive service brings our years of top-quality restaurant style food into your home.
Menus are always bespoke as we don’t want repetition within a similar geographical area, so please allow us to guide you through what is seasonal, local and at its best. We strive to use suppliers we know well, who have the same moral and ethical standards as we do, especially when it comes to food quality, the environment and wastage.
We can arrange beautiful crockery, cutlery, Riedel or Kwarx stemware, linen and more should this be required, you can hire this through us from our trusted suppliers. Experienced waiting staff are also available whenever the number of guests or the situation requires this.
The only limitation is your imagination and sometimes but not often, the cooking facilities that are available.
Nothing is impossible, somethings though may just cost a wee bit more........
Bespoke Drop & Go Services
This fantastic service is the ultimate in home help for anyone hosting a group of friends or for a busy family weekend or gathering. We do all the work, we deliver the food ready for serving or for a quick reheat in our lovely selection of oven to tableware. Food not needing reheating comes on top-quality platters ready to be unwrapped and go straight onto your table with minimal fuss, alternatively we can do just part of a meal should you prefer to do some of it yourself.
We also do themed menus, so if you want to try an Italian, Japanese or you fancy another cuisine type to tickle your taste buds then we are only a phone call away.
This year 2023 the popular ones in the colder early months have been Nepalese, Italian, Moroccan and even one Senegalese evening meal. Now that the weather is warming, we will be offering Japanese small skewers Yakitori as well as Kushiyaki. We have our own small Japanese grills and charcoal for hire.
We aim to provide top quality ready to eat dishes (some may need heating) that encompass our world-wide travels and work experiences. Often clients just want hearty family style food that presents well, is packed with flavour and is suitable for a range of ages without the fuss, preparation and cleaning
We can factor all sorts of dietary requirements into your order as every dish is made just for you and never batch prepared. Spicy sauces can be served on the side, gluten free, diary free or any other requirement you may have. No this-No that=No problem.
If your order/party is for 10 or more, we can break the dish/order down into vegetarian, pescatarian or vegan, the same applies to spicy dishes we can do some mild and some that kick like a mule... just depends on what you and your guests/family require. Just remember a minimum of 2 people/servings per dietary requirement please.

Estate/Lodge/Personal Chef
Your week away or longer if you are lucky, should be a time for you to relax, spend quality time with friends and family, do things you don’t normally do, fish, hike, stalk, relax whatever. Allow us to take over the catering or at the very least the hassle part of it.
We are experienced in sourcing everything you may need for your time away; we will gladly take you into local towns or to farmers markets and introduce you to those great local artisanal producers that you may not have heard of so next time you will have some of our local knowledge to use for yourselves in the future.
We have had great fun with families covering all ages, teaching them to make pasta, bake and even master different types of open fire cooking methods, all strictly supervised and controlled but definitely not boring!
We can provide a chef for a few days, a week or longer whatever the need may be. Rates depend on length of time we are engaged and can include everything from breakfast/brunch, lunch if you wish, afternoon tea and cake followed by the main meal in the evening.
Nothing is impossible, somethings though may just cost a wee bit more........
Please contact us with any questions or enquiries below, 2024 full until November & 2025 June to end September full.
Game or Fishing Day
We regularly work closely with estates and fishing beats on the Tay, Isla, Earn, Dee, Helmsdale, Thurso, Annan, Lyon and many more, providing anything from gourmet BBQ's to formal sit-down lunches and even dinners, often we are called on to add something special for the rods/guns on the days when the river high or the wind is howling and the prospects aren’t great for the sport, this adds some excitement and fun to what can be a hard week’s fishing or disappointing days shoot........if that was ever a chore!
Dietary requirements are absolutely no issue, the menu and what we can do is only limited by your imagination and what’s left in the petty cash box after all your new tackle purchases for the weeks fishing/shooting.
We also provide a drop and go service to fishing beats and for shoots, lets us know your requirements and we will gladly do it for you.
Nothing is impossible, somethings though may just cost a wee bit more........
Weddings & Events
No two weddings or events are ever the same, we always start our first meeting with empty notebooks so that we can listen, digest and then suggest and create something that is totally unique and special, just like you are.
Our Live Fire Cooking is a showstopper even if we say so ourselves, everything or as much as you want is cooked in front of the guests, usually off to one side of the marquee making a great focal point whilst the bridal party is off having photographs taken. We can do almost anything you wish with our Live Fire Cooking.
We are guided by your dream and vision and part of what we can do is use our extensive experience to highlight the possible pitfalls and advise you on menu & décor choices so as to best utilise your budget and achieve the dream wedding you have always dreamt about. Our goal is always to create a truly memorable day for you and your guests.
There is often a tussle between the dream wedding and the budget, we understand this and will use all our experience to deliver your dream on the agreed budget, often we need to have separate discussions with those paying and those getting married, pointing out ways to achieve the same outcome whilst keeping the budget intact.
We specialise in small weddings but have been known to do huge ones numbering into 100’s.
We really enjoy challenging locations with little or no infrastructure the remoter the better, we have been known to even carry chairs, tables, white line and crockery up glens onto remote moors or beaches just to deliver a dream.
Please just ask, paint us the picture and let us do the work.
Remember nothing is impossible, somethings though may just cost a wee bit more........
