Meet Diego
Diego's passion for cooking began at the age of 15, while he was studying at culinary school in San Sebastian, a city recognised for its gastronomy and unique culinary scene.
He has learnt his craft whilst working at some of the finest dining establishments, including Galvin Restaurant, London, the one Michelin star Alameda Restaurant in his native Basque country and Roca Moo in Moo Hotel Barcelona, another Michelin star establishment, part of the Roca dynasty and supported by the famous three Michelin star El Celler de Can Roca Restaurant in Girona. Currently, he is working in Aramark Defence Services at St James palace.
Recently, Diego was awarded "Chef of the Year" at Aramark Defence Services South East and London Regional competition and was a finalist in the European's Chef Cup.
Diego's passion for travel often takes him to some of the most exciting culinary spots across the globe, where he gets inspiration for his career as a private chef. With 15 years of experience under his belt, Diego can bring the fine dining experience to the comfort of your home with inventive mouth watering dishes. As a private chef, he works closely with his clients to help them choose the best option based on group size, occasion and budget. You can choose from a selection of menus, buffet options and canapes or opt for a bespoke dining experience, tailored specifically for you and your guests.
As part of the service, Diego will buy the finest quality ingredients, cook in your home, serve the food and clean up before leaving.
