The ultimate holiday indulgence: Private in-house dining in the South West

Imagine this: a chef in your kitchen, a five-course menu on top of your plate, restaurant-quality dishes served to you and your guests, and wine sipped until your heart’s content.

Private dining experiences are the ultimate in-house indulgence, and one of the best ways to enjoy a taste of South West luxury, without ever needing to leave the house. Whether it’s an intimate dinner for two, a birthday celebration, or a long table extravaganza with friends, these local chefs are ready to create an unforgettable feast during your next Private Properties escape.

Our in-house dining go-tos

Tiller Dining

From their 50-acre Yallingup farm, George and Kayleigh Cooper create beautiful paddock-to-plate experiences for their guests, using produce grown onsite and sourced from trusted local suppliers. While they’re renowned for the jaw-dropping weddings and stunning functions that they host at Tiller Farm, the couple also offer bespoke, three- and seven-course in-home private dining experiences (with or without matching wines, of course). Focused on sustainability and locality, the Coopers’ menu is tantalising, luxurious and magical. A must-try for those expecting something a little extra from in-home dining.

South West Fine Events

South West Fine Events has fast been turning heads, thanks to chef Denver Stevens delivery of his three, highly sophisticated private dining offerings. There’s a Stand Up menu designed for meat and seafood lovers, a Sit Down four- or six-course feast for guests after an elevated, seated option, and a Feast menu, perfect for sharing. No matter what you choose, we guarantee it’ll be an impressive accompaniment to your Private Properties staycay.

Francesca Gosling

Passionate about provenance, chef Francesca Gosling creates seasonal private dining menus showcasing produce from her kitchen garden and trusted South West suppliers – think eggs from her own chooks, honey from her bee hives, and herbs, leaves and edible flowers from her backyard. Having lived and cooked across the globe, she blends international influences with a deep love of the region, ensuring every gourmet journey feels grounded, adventurous and memorable all at once.

Ben Jacob

He’s worked for the likes of Gorden Ramsay, did his apprenticeship at acclaimed Perth restaurant Balthazar, and made a name for himself in the South West as the head chef at Wise Winery, Lagoon Yallingup and now, Italian haunt Masseria, but where Ben Jacob really shines, in our humble opinion, is as a high-end private chef. His food is bold, playful and contemporary; refined dining that’ll linger in your memory banks well after dinner.

Epicuriosity Catering

Do you consider yourself a food connoisseur? Are you willing to put your gourmet knowledge to the test, while enjoying five courses of the South West’s best? Then you should try Epicuriosity’s Eat Think Laugh experience, which intermingles sumptuous eats with epicurean challenges that’ll excite and delight. If competition isn’t your thing and you’re just looking for a great night in, chef Greig Olsen and his team can cater anything from a romantic dinner for two, to an elegant cocktail party. They even do self-service finger food, which takes the fuss out of preparation. A huge yes in our books.

Tim Whitty Kitchen Takeovers

With a “fresh is best” philosophy, Tim and his team use only the very best of seasonal produce to bring your restaurant-quality dinner party to life.
