We all love to support our local independents as much as we can and times are tough now. What we are offering is a little bit different. Maybe even with your slippers on!
The Best Private Dining Experience in Herts, Beds & Bucks
At Home Dining Thyme, by Michelin-star-status Phil Thompson, operates in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire. As a family run venture, our niece Leiandra joins us as head waitress. We believe the most exclusive table, is private dining in your own dining room! You may never have tried a home chef experience. Phil has been a restaurateur for 12 years. His 30 year plus career is littered with Michelin Star and 3 Rosette kitchens. Most recently he ran his own restaurant at THOMPSON St Albans. You are in safe hands with Phil as your private chef for the evening.
It is officially the new way to celebrate in Herts, Beds & Bucks.
Why Fine Dining at Home is the Ultimate Celebration
Choosing fine dining at home, is completely relaxed and intimate. It’s personal, all about you, your bespoke menu and celebration. You choose the playlist, the guest list, enjoy wine from your own collection, no need for childcare with just a few steps to your sofa or bed afterwards. All you have to do is enjoy your friends or family and your at home dining experience. See the testimonials page on our website and what our guests say about us, including Phil leaving the kitchen sparkling… (if only he did that at home!). Regardless of whether you’re in the heart of Hertfordshire, a rural village in Bedfordshire, or a leafy corner of Buckinghamshire, we bring the restaurant to you.
A Michelin Standard Home Chef Experience in Your Kitchen
Your home chef experience with Phil Thompson is fun and interactive. First you can watch and learn. See a Michelin-trained chef in action in your own kitchen! Additionally, you can ask away. Phil loves to share the secret to the perfect recipe. He is frequently asked about the inspiration behind each dish. Most importantly you get to taste his passion and the love of his craft on a plate. Phil uses seasonal ingredients, from his own garden or his father-in-law’s allotment. Phil sources ingredients locally, such as oil from Mrs Middleton in Bedfordshire, vegetables from Sparshott Fruitiers in Hertfordshire or the plentiful supply from Buckinghamshire, see Love British Food for full details.
