Get to know me better
Michelin trained chef, held 3 rosettes for 5+ years, modern British cuisine with a world influence. Customisable menus to you budget
I’m Carl cleghorn chef owner of Tyme by Carl Cleghorn, a private chef with 24 years of culinary experience—including running Michelin-starred kitchens and earning 3 prestigious AA Rosettes for culinary excellence. My mission? To bring that same standard of fine dining into your home—without the pretense, but with all the precision and without the price tag.
Throughout my career, I’ve led top-tier brigades, curated award-winning menus, and cooked for people who expect the best—and I’ve delivered every time. But behind all the accolades, I’m a family man who believes the best meals aren’t just technically perfect—they’re personal.
As a private chef, I bring restaurant-level quality with a deeply customized touch. Whether it’s an intimate dinner for two, an elegant gathering, or a weekly tailored meal plan, I craft every dish with care, ambition, and heart. I don’t do shortcuts. I don’t do “good enough.” I bring the same discipline and detail I did in Michelin-level kitchens—only now, the focus is entirely on you.
If you’re after food that excites, comforts, and leaves a lasting impression, let’s talk. Because you deserve a chef who treats your table like it’s the best seat in the house.
