I create restaurant-level Italian, French, Spanish, and Mexican experiences—crafted with passion, precision, and great produce.

Francesco Caruso

I bring decades of restaurant expertise to your table—tailored, seasonal, and full of heart.

I’m a head chef with more than 30 years of experience in top restaurants across England and Italy, and I also work as a private chef. I’m used to fast-paced kitchens and I bring that same calm focus, clear communication, and strong management to every event at home.

My cuisine is rooted in Italian cooking, and I also love working with French, Spanish, and Mexican flavours. I design menus that feel generous, balanced, and memorable—whether you want a refined seafood night or a bold, festive table.

Let’s plan your menu

I’ve never lost my passion for cooking, and I love teaching and showcasing what I do—Italian, French, Spanish, and Mexican food are my strongest points.

What you can expect when you cook with me

I cook with passion and range

I’ve never lost my passion for cooking, and I love teaching and showcasing my food. My strongest points in the kitchen are Italian, French, Spanish, and Mexican cuisine—so I can keep your experience classic, vibrant, or a bit of both.

I built my skills from the ground up

I decided to become a chef very young (12) after visiting a professional kitchen. At 14 I worked as a KP, at 16 I became an assistant chef, and I also enrolled in cookery school—those early years shaped my discipline and my respect for craft.

I trust simple rules for great food

I believe great cooking is about patience, good produce, controlling the heat, and tasting constantly—so every dish is spot on before I plate it.

Francesco’s Menus

I offer curated, multi-course menus inspired by my experience in Italy and the UK—seafood-led evenings, French classics, Mediterranean comfort, and lively Spanish and Mexican nights. I can adapt for your occasion while keeping the spirit of each menu intact.
