Private Chef & Catering · Gloucester

Just over the bridge.

Gloucester is a short hop across the Coleman Bridge from Chef Rawles's home in Yorktown, and he is glad to make the trip. The Middle Peninsula's waterfront homes and country properties are a fine setting for the kind of dinner he does best.

Everything is cooked on-site — sourced the day of, prepared in your kitchen, served course by course. Nothing is transported cold from a restaurant across the water, because the chef simply comes to you.

From Gloucester Point to the Courthouse village and out toward Ware Neck, it is the same standard and the same published pricing.
