Luxury homes with a private chef in East Sussex
Imagine waking to the sound of sizzling eggs, butter scraping across homemade sourdough, and freshly-pressed orange juice sloshing in a morning carafe. In our luxury homes with a private chef in East Sussex, you won’t have to imagine.
While it’s true that the ideal holiday looks different for everybody, catering tops the list for being one of the most indulgent short break add-ons. When adding private dining to your holiday in East Sussex, there’s no such thing as trekking down to the supermarket, wrestling with jars, or hollers of “is something burning?” rattling down the hall. Even the dreaded clean-up’s a thing of home-life past. Think of luxury homes with a private chef in East Sussex as a self-care staycation, an opportunity to sip the coffee while it's still hot and point out recipes that appear like magic.
Whether you have your heart set on a charming beach house hideaway or a larger-than-life manor where all your family and friends can dine in style, we offer exclusive access to some of East Sussex’s most talented private cooks. We’re talking twisting strings of spaghetti vongole in a starlit courtyard, scoffing buddha bowls on the sand-dusted deck, and peering around leaning stacks of syrup-drenched pancakes at the brunch table. Be it a creative in-house dining experience fit for a family celebration, or a taste of the finest produce East Sussex has to offer, we have a luxury home for you.
