Private Chef Dinner: The Ultimate Hen Party Indulgence at Your Bath Spa Hens House
Let’s be honest — going out for dinner is great. But staying in and being served dinner by a private chef? Now that’s hen party heaven.
If you’re planning a hen weekend in Bath and want something seriously special (without anyone being on dish duty), a private chef experience at the house is the answer. It’s elegant, indulgent, and full of those “I feel so fancy right now” moments.
Think: fizz in hand, the smell of something amazing wafting from the kitchen, and the bride-to-be basking in candlelight with her favourite people around the table.
Here’s how to make your hen night dinner unforgettable — no taxis or table bookings required.
1. What Is a Private Chef Experience?
It’s exactly what it sounds like: a professional chef comes to your hen party house, cooks a delicious multi-course meal, and serves it up like you’re in a boutique hotel restaurant — but in your slippers if you fancy.
You’ll usually get:
-
A tailored menu (veggie, vegan, or full-on surf & turf? Totally your call)
-
All the ingredients sourced and brought in
-
A beautifully plated dinner served at your table
-
Someone else doing all the clearing up (yes, really)
You eat, drink, chat, laugh — and your biggest job is choosing which dress to wear.
2. Why It’s Hen Party Gold
A private chef dinner gives you all the perks of dining out… without the crowd, the cold walk back, or someone shouting, “Table for 14!”
Here’s why it’s a standout option:
-
Luxury without lifting a finger
-
Totally private and personal – no sharing space with strangers
-
Perfect for speeches, toasts, and hen games at the table
-
Suits all ages – from glam grans to party-loving bridesmaids
-
You’re already home – so no worries if wine flows freely
It’s the kind of night that makes the whole group feel spoiled, without a single person stuck in the kitchen.
3. Menu Ideas to Get You Drooling
Private chefs in Bath offer all sorts of menus — from rustic Italian feasts to Michelin-style tasting menus. Some popular themes include:
-
Seasonal British Dining – think roast chicken supreme, wild mushrooms, sticky toffee pudding
-
Mediterranean Evenings – mezze starters, grilled meats, lemon sorbet
-
Plant-Based Luxe – creative, colourful dishes that’ll wow even the meat-eaters
-
Posh Comfort Food – gourmet mac ‘n’ cheese, sliders, fancy brownies
-
Tasting Menus – 5–7 courses of tiny plates and big flavours
-
Bottomless Brunch – for daytime hens who love mimosas with their eggs
Got a theme? Some chefs can match the vibe — think pink plates for a Barbie bride or Aphrodite-style platters for a Greek goddess night.
4. How to Make It Extra Special
Want to level-up the experience? Here are some hen party favourites to add into the mix:
-
Matching table decor – candles, flowers, name cards, the full works
-
Bridal toast round – a heartfelt (or hilarious) speech mid-meal
-
Hen games between courses – like “Mr & Mrs” or “Guess the Memory”
-
Dress code – go glam, go themed, or just go full satin pyjamas
-
Personalised menus as keepsakes
-
Photo station near the table to capture the glitz
You could even combine the dinner with other activities — like a cocktail class beforehand or a pamper night after.
5. No Stress, All Style
One of the biggest perks of hiring a private chef? It takes the pressure off. No one’s responsible for the food, the timings, or the mess. You just show up, sit down, and enjoy.
It’s ideal for the last night of your weekend — the one where everyone wants to unwind, reflect, and soak in the good vibes before heading home.
