Private Chef Events: A Bespoke Dining Experience

Step into the kitchen with Gus Longstaff and discover the art of French cooking through hands-on, personalised classes. Whether you’re a beginner looking to master the basics or an experienced home cook eager to refine your skills, Gus’s classes are designed to match your level and interests. Each session is an immersive experience, blending traditional techniques with modern touches to help you create authentic, flavourful dishes.


Classes can take place in your own kitchen or at a charming venue in France, providing the perfect setting for a relaxed and enjoyable learning experience. You’ll learn step by step how to prepare classic French dishes—perhaps a rich, slow-cooked Boeuf Bourguignon, a delicate soufflé, or a perfectly balanced sauce that elevates any meal. If desired, sessions can even start with a visit to a local market, where you’ll select the freshest ingredients before bringing them to life in the kitchen.


Perfect for individuals, couples, or small groups, these classes are as much about enjoying the process as they are about the final dish. After cooking, you’ll sit down to enjoy your creations with expertly paired wines, making for an unforgettable experience.

We booked a one day wine tour with Angus and it was really nice experience. We visited 3 different vineyard and tasted more than 20 different wines! Lunch at a local restaurant during the trip was also exceptional. I could recommend Angus to any friend who wish to visit the region.
