Background
After holding senior chef positions in top hotels and restaurants, Dean Harper further developed his skills and taste by spending time overseas – gaining insight into local produce, trends and a multitude of cuisines. After years of restaurant experience, Dean wanted to bring fine dining into people’s homes so he began his private chef service. What began as a few upscale dinner parties, developed into a full-service fine dining company with a passion for luxurious cuisine, fine wines, professional presentation and flawless service.
Exceptional Produce From Leading Suppliers
Harper produce consultant Emma Trim worked as a manager in the Harrods Food Hall for many years and also in the Food Hall, Selfridges Oxford St. From this she gained contacts with some of the finest, world class food producers, with whom she maintains close working relationships. Emma is a Caviar specialist and has extensive knowledge in this field. If you choose to have our Caviar, Oyster and Champagne evening, Emma will organise this to perfection for you!
Exceptional Event Coordination
Michelle and Dean Harper have worked alongside each other from the start. She is meticulous with her planning and will go above and beyond for your brief, ensuring constant correspondence with your chef and waiter, so that your private dining event is delivered flawlessly. Michelle and Dean share a love of travel, discovering world cuisines and dining out in a range of top restaurants. This enables them to stay on top of the latest trends and gain inspiration within the industry to ensure this is conveyed throughout all of the exclusive Harper Fine Dining experiences.

Cooking Classes with a Michelin Chef
If you would like to learn a thing or two, some tricks of the trade, we can organise for one of our chefs to come to your home or venue to teach, either one-on-one or in a group. Maybe, you need some inspiration for savoury dishes, to brush up on your dessert and pastry work, learn dishes to impress your guests at your very own dinner party, or maybe, you need to learn the very basics. The lesson will be tailored to your exact requirements.
