The Table philosophy

Dining experiences that deserve more.

At Table we believe dining should be more than just a meal, it should be an experience. Each event we create is thoughtfully curated using the finest seasonal and organic ingredients, carefully sourced to highlight natural flavour and quality.

From beautifully plated dishes to elegantly set tables, every detail is designed to create a warm, refined atmosphere where guests can relax, connect, and enjoy exceptional food together.

From the moment you book, Ivan will guide you through every step of creating your perfect dining experience, tailoring the menu, atmosphere, and presentation to ensure an unforgettable occasion.

With more than 20 years of experience working in renowned restaurants, luxury superyachts, and exclusive private homes and lodges, we deliver refined dining experiences with exceptional attention to detail.

  • I booked Ivan as a surprise for my daughter's 30th birthday and we were not disappointed. He arrived on time and was lovely and chatty. He talked us through the menu and got on with it while we got ready. The food he prepared was absolutely amazing. Scallops to start then the best steak I have ever eaten. Panna cotta for dessert. My daughter was blown away with the experience. Something we will all do again. Definitely recommend Ivan.
