Who we are

Personal, professional private dining in the heart of the Peak District.

Hearth & Table Peak is a private chef service based in Buxton, Derbyshire, serving the Peak District and surrounding areas. Founded by Adam, a professional chef with years of experience in top kitchens around the world, our mission is to bring high-quality, memorable meals directly to your table—wherever you are.

We believe in the magic of shared meals: the warmth of great food, good company, and unforgettable moments around the table. Whether you’re visiting a holiday cottage, hosting a small celebration, or simply want to enjoy exceptional food without leaving home, we bring the restaurant experience to you—without the formality or fuss.

Every menu is created to reflect your tastes and dietary needs, using fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced locally whenever possible. From romantic dinners for two to relaxed evenings with friends or family, we aim to create something truly personal and unique for every guest.

Hospitality is at the heart of what we do—and you can taste it in every course.

Meet the Chef – Adam

Adam’s culinary journey has taken him across Europe, where he has developed his craft in fine dining restaurants, rustic countryside inns and world-class hospitality environments.

His passion for food began in Italy, training alongside regional chefs who instilled a deep respect for simplicity, seasonality and exceptional ingredients. He later continued his development at a culinary school in Austria, where he refined his understanding of classical European techniques and precision.

Adam then spent six years working aboard Princess Cruises, preparing exceptional dishes for guests from around the world and mastering the ability to deliver outstanding dining experiences in any environment. This experience shaped his calm, organised approach and unwavering commitment to warm, attentive hospitality.

Upon returning to the UK, Adam joined a Two AA Rosette restaurant, further refining his fine dining techniques and strengthening his passion for elegant, ingredient-led cuisine.

Today, Adam brings this wealth of international experience directly into his clients’ homes across the Peak District and Derbyshire. Through Hearth & Table, he creates refined yet relaxed private dining experiences centred around exceptional produce, thoughtful cooking and genuine hospitality.

“For me, great food is about more than presentation or technique—it’s about connection. That’s why I love private dining. It allows me to create something just for you, in your space, with no distractions—just great food and great company.”
