About the Chef
The Art of Private Dining with Chef Maciej
With more than fifteen years of professional experience, Chef Maciej has perfected his craft in some of London’s most celebrated kitchens including Oblix, The Ivy, Sexy Fish (Mayfair), Smiths of Wapping, and GreyFriars Hotel. His career has been shaped by precision, creativity, and a deep respect for ingredients.
Today, as a private chef, Maciej brings that same level of excellence into the most personal of settings: intimate dinners, family celebrations, and bespoke events where food becomes the heart of the experience. Every dish is crafted with purpose, refined yet generous, contemporary yet comforting, and always memorable.
Culinary Philosophy
Maciej’s cooking reflects his journey as a thoughtful fusion of French discipline, British heritage, Polish heart, and global inspiration. From classic European elegance to vibrant pan Asian creations, his menus celebrate diversity and depth.
Expect clean flavours, precise technique, and elegant compositions that highlight the true character of every ingredient. Whether you desire a refined tasting menu, a relaxed sharing feast, or something entirely unique, every menu is designed from scratch to match your preferences, your occasion, and the rhythm of the seasons.
Sourcing and Seasonality
Chef Maciej believes that exceptional cooking begins long before the pan is hot. Every ingredient is chosen with care and integrity, guided by a constant pursuit of freshness, provenance, and quality.
He works closely with independent farmers, small scale producers, and specialist suppliers across the United Kingdom. From the vibrant stalls of Borough Market to the historic Billingsgate Market, from trusted local butchers and day boat fishmongers to artisan cheesemakers and growers of indie greens, every product is selected for its character and flavour.
Expect Mersea oysters, line caught fish from the Essex coast, native breeds from heritage farms, and peak season vegetables grown sustainably in British soil. This dedication to local excellence ensures that every dish not only delights the palate but also tells a story of the land and the people behind it.
A Global Approach
While rooted in European technique, Maciej’s cooking embraces a worldwide culinary perspective. His travels and collaborations have inspired a repertoire that extends far beyond Europe, drawing from the bold and aromatic flavours of Southeast Asia, the refined simplicity of Japanese cuisine, and the vibrant spices of the Middle East.
This global influence allows him to design menus that are as adventurous or as classic as you wish, always balanced and true to the ingredient.
