Meet Your Private Chef

Santiago Ruiz

Private Chef & Founder

My passion is simple: creating exceptional food and memorable experiences for people to enjoy together.

My culinary journey has taken me through professional kitchens including Sushi Social in Reykjavík, The George of Stamford, The Black Horse and The Bull in Market Deeping. These experiences have shaped the way I approach food today — combining professional technique with the relaxed, personal atmosphere of dining at home.

Mediterranean Palate was created to bring that experience directly to you. No busy restaurant, no fixed timetable and no need to spend your evening in the kitchen. Just great food, your favourite people and an experience designed around your occasion.
