Private Chef & Events
Meet The Team
Sam is a qualified chef with over a decade of experience in Melbourne’s culinary scene world. Having honed his skills in some of Melbourne’s most well known dining establishments, including Dinner by Heston, Donovan's, Tipo 00 and Hazel, Sam now focuses on bringing the restaurant experience to Victorian homes via Morel Dining.
The second half of the duo, Claire, is a project manager by day and an experienced bartender by night.
After throwing several gourmet dinner parties in their own home, Sam & Claire wanted to bring the at-home-restaurant experience to Melbourne locals, and so Morel Dining was born.
Focusing on local, seasonal ingredients, Morel Dining is all about celebrating incredible Australian produce and creating an unforgettable private dining experience.
Our Services
Private Chef
4-15 Guests
Experience private dining in your own home, with our Private Chef option. Best suited for 4-12 guests, this option allows us to work closely with you to curate a menu to your budget, requirements and dietary preferences and offer a gourmet dining experience in your home.
Sam, our Chef, runs the show in the kitchen whilst Claire will act as your front of house - serving food, drinks and cleaning up throughout the night.
We supply all ingredients, cooking equipment and serving ware, so you can sit back, relax and enjoy the night.
Private Bartending
4-8 Guests
Can be added alongside the Private Chefing experience or booked separately, our Private Bartending option includes 1 or 2 bartenders. We can either work with you to develop a cocktail list tailored to your event, or work off a set cocktail list you provide.
We supply all bartending equipment and can assist with the bar setup on the day.
Events
15-25 Guests
The Private Chefing experience but on a bigger scale - our events option allows us to work closely with you to develop a food and beverage menu best suited for larger groups. We’ll work closely with you to deliver a menu within your budget and requirements, and help you manage things in the lead up to the day.
We supply all ingredients, cooking equipment and serving ware (excluding individual guest plates) and can assist with the setup and pack down of your event.
