Chef Marius K

Chef At Home in Bristol

A personal chef with over 20 years’ experience and well known private chef profile – specialises in catering for casual, gastronomic home dining in and around Bath, Bristol and throughout Somerset, Cotswold, Oxfordshire and South West.

With well known and popular private chef profile I join Takeachef to share my culinary talent with my clients

With options to suit all tastes, sit back and relax knowing every course is covered by your personal chef with Michelin starred training.

Dedicated to showcasing the finest of British products and seasonal ingredients, my culinary journey has been shaped by invaluable experiences working alongside culinary luminaries including Marco Pierre White, Pierre Koffmann, and Raymond Blanc. I am honored to regularly prepare meticulously crafted dishes for residents and esteemed guests at Royal Highgrove House.

As a passionate chef I get guidelines, I learn from watching and also trying new techniques to make his own way of cooking. Then I practices my own recipes, improves, gets better and listens to your flavor palette. There are no limits to my culinary creations, taking flavors and textures into the next level.

From a young age, I always had a burning passion for food. I started my culinary journey by immersing myself in the vibrant flavors of different cuisines. I traveled the world, exploring the culinary traditions of France, Italy, Asia, and the Mediterranean, honing my skills in each culinary language.

I've always aspired to create a personalized private chef service, allowing me to share my culinary skills and unique recipes directly with clients in their own homes or during their travels. I'm especially grateful for the time I spent working with renowned chefs like Marco Pierre White, Rick Stein, Angela Hartnett, and Matt Gillan. These experiences were crucial for my development, providing opportunities to learn, experiment, and ultimately enhance my culinary abilities. My clients value my dedication and the passion I bring to every meal.

My esteemed repertoire includes cooking for high-profile events, including private gatherings for the Royal Family at Highgrove House Tetbury.

My attention to detail for sourcing the most wonderful and delectable ingredients translates into the much-loved dishes I create, ensuring that my customers are treated to an unrivaled culinary experience. My clients are greeted by oversized presentation cubes that are used to display my freshly made breads, homegrown ingredients, cheeses selected by the master fromager, pots of wild herbs and reels of freshly churned butter.

I spends time working on new menus, the core of which celebrates the

tastes and textures of each individual item of produce and utilizes them in unique combinations.

From fine dining to garden parties and weddings to corporate entertaining, I guarantee the highest levels of creative cooking and impeccable professional service, with great value for money and all the cleaning after the service.

I'm delighted to announce my close collaboration with Jana, a highly experienced energy healer and aromatherapist.

For clients interested in a truly special experience—be it a deeply relaxing massage, profound mental clearance facilitated by the beautiful sounds of singing bowls, or a thoughtful gift of wellness for a family member—I wholeheartedly recommend exploring Jana's exceptional services. Further details are available upon request.

We are a group of ‘6 golden girls’ who think the finer things in life are what we deserve ????????. So when Marius arrived at our venue we knew we were in for an enjoyable evening. He was very charming, personable, polite and above all professional. The food was cooked to a very high standard. He made our evening very special and unforgettable. Our whole group would highly recommend his services.

Marius was very engaging and responsive from the moment I made the booking. We had a baby and a toddler in our party and he very helpfully kept us updated/liaised with us about food course timings. The food was beautifully presented and described and was absolutely delicious. Marius gave us an extra course as a gift- a beautifully presented board of local cheeses, with crackers and nuts etc. This was extremely thoughtful, a wonderful surprise and the perfect ending to a perfect evening. Thank you Marius. We highly recommend Marius and would have no hesitation in asking him to cook for us again when/if we are in the area.

We had Marius as our chef for a family meal last night. And considering there was a weather warning, strong rain and winds he still managed to get to us and provide us with the most amazing dinner. Great tasting food all explained to us and paired with some lovely wines. We also had a cheeseboard prepared for us and a cake to celebrate the joint birthdays which we didn’t ask for and wasn’t aware was happening ! So we were thrilled and so impressed with all of his efforts. Would highly recommend

I had the most outstanding experience with Marius for my birthday dinner: everything was absolutely impeccable. Through the entire process (menu description, dish choices, vibes discussion…) he was deeply attentive and intuitive, understanding not only what I wanted but the vibe and spirit behind it. The food was simply divine - full of flavour, beauty, and heart and he truly captured the essence of food as a love language, bringing everyone together through each dish. What touched me most was his kindness and the soulful presence he brought to the evening. You can feel that cooking, for him, isn’t just about food… it’s about connection, care, and creating joy around the table. And just when I thought the night couldn’t get more perfect, he surprised me with a gorgeous cake and even a little extra cheese treat - such a thoughtful, unexpected gesture that made everything even more special. I’m incredibly grateful for the experience. I can’t recommend Marius enough if you are searching for an experience filled with love, warmth, and joy! You will not be disappointed, at all.

Marius was professional at all times, he engaged with guests appropriately was well prepared. The whole meal event was smooth running, and timely. The food choices were cooked to perfection and Very tasty. Thank you Marius, you helped to make our evening very special.

Marius came in the most difficult circumstances as we had both contracted COVID a few days earlier. He did everything he could to make our experience as good as it could be. He was warm, friendly and interesting, and the starters, particularly, were delicious. I would certainly have him again for a private party

Marius truly went above and beyond, we chose based on previous reviews and the look of the menu, but didn’t expect such a great experience. Nothing was too much, Marius even turned up with a beautiful surprise cake for the birthday girl, went to great lengths to source the best ingredients, and was an engaging yet non intrusive addition to our evening. The kitchen was left spotless. I’d highly recommend - one of the best meals we’ve had. Thanks Marius!

Marius was a brilliant host for the evening. This was our first but not last experience. He made my wife’s birthday truley special. Would highly reccomend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely outstanding experience with Chef Marius! He was brilliant — incredibly personable, professional, and a true pleasure to work with. The food was exceptional — every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. It was a seamless experience from start to finish, and the value for money was excellent. Chef Marius delivers world-class quality and hospitality. We’ll definitely be hiring him again and couldn’t recommend him more highly!

Mariuz was great, attentive, professional, passionate about what he does and above all an excellent chef! Cheers for a wonderful evening - Ant, Lee, Matt, Emma, Chris and Claire x

Chef Marius cooked an amazing Birthday dinner for my family and I. He provided an excellent and professional service from the original booking right through to the meal on the day. The food was stunning and it was very obvious he is a perfectionist in his work. I really can’t praise him highly enough and would absolutely recommend him. Many thanks for a memorable evening.

Marius was a pleasure to work with for a 13-person 3 course dinner. He offered a nice range of menu options and was communicative and helpful in the planning stage. On the day he was punctual and friendly, the food was delicious, and he left the kitchen cleaner than it started. We'd be very happy to hire him again.

Marius cooked for a group of 13 of us to celebrate my boyfriend’s 30th birthday. He was fun, chatty and attentive. On the lead up to the evening, communication was great and easy too. He gave me a very extensive menu to choose from, all of the options looked so good it was hard to choose! We went for prawns, steak & chocolate tartlet and it was AMAZING. I’d 100% recommend Marius to anyone looking for a private chef. It was great to have him spend the evening with us. Thank you for making our evening so special!

What can I say, other than the chef we chose, Marius, was utterly fantastic! From the communication, the support, the amendments to meet dietary requirements and everything in between, Marius made the whole process so easy. And the food was absolutely exceptional - Marius was the only chef who offered us two choices for each course, which meant everyone really got to choose something they really wanted. I would, without a doubt, choose Marius for any future event and also recommend him to anyone who needs a chef in the Cotswolds. Thank you so much, Marius, for making our experience unforgettable.

I cannot really put into words how absolutely incredible Marius was. From planning to prep to the actual meal, and the clean up afterwards - everything was just perfect. He went the extra 10 miles (not just mile) and provided us with a cheese board completely complementarily AND a delicious cake for my mother for her birthday. His patience with me during the initial stages was incredible, as I clearly didn't read all the information properly and he had to correct me a number of times. And his attentiveness and service during our evening was world class. An absolute gent and one of the best meals we have (genuinely) ever had. Thank you Marius for making our evening, and my mother's special birthday, so so great.

Marius was incredible from first point of contact, all of my questions were answered straight away and he was very helpful, communication is excellent, he even went out of his way to get scallops that we really wanted due to a shortage. On the evening he arrived at the time he said and interacted with all the guests before starting the cooking. The food was amazing, so many flavours and he explained every dish and was very well presented he even made a birthday cake as a surprise which was wonderful. Everything was cleaned up and left the place as he found it. Would highly recommend Marius and would certainly use him again.

Mariusz is an exceptional chef - you can tell he cares deeply about his work and really wants his guests to get the most from his service. Food quality, cooking, presentation and clean up were flawless. I would whole heartedly recommend Mariusz!

We recently had the pleasure of having Marius cook for 11 ladies, and the experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. From the initial consultation to the final bite, Marius demonstrated a level of professionalism, creativity, and passion that truly elevated our evening. The menu was a perfect balance of sophistication and comfort, with each dish thoughtfully crafted and beautifully presented. It was clear that Marius uses only the freshest, high-quality ingredients. The flavors were vibrant and complex, and every single lady at the table was raving about the food. The portions were also generous, ensuring everyone left feeling satisfied. Beyond the incredible food, what truly set Marius apart was his impeccable service. He was punctual, organized, and handled everything with a calm and friendly demeanor. He was also incredibly accommodating to our group's dietary needs and preferences, which was greatly appreciated. He truly made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable, allowing us to relax and focus on each other's company. In short, if you're looking for a caterer who delivers not only an exceptional culinary experience but also outstanding service, we wholeheartedly recommend Marius. He turned our dinner party into a truly memorable event, and we can't wait to find another reason to book him again. Thank you, Marius!

Chef Marius was a sensation! It was our first experience with a private chef and didn't know quite what to expect but Marius made us immediately relaxed, helping to coordinate a meal for my wife's birthday while we put two children to bed. The food was impeccable and he had several surprises that showed his dedication to go the extra mile. Very much recommended!

Mariusz was amazing and so was the food. He provided an exceptional service, was very friendly and approachable and cleaned up everything before he left. Fantastic value for the money and we would highly recommend him to everyone
