Private Chef in Hampton

From Phoebus to Buckroe Beach — a from-scratch dinner cooked in your Hampton home, sourced the same day.

Private Chef & Catering · Hampton

One of the oldest tables in the country.

Hampton has been sitting down to dinner since the 1600s, and Chef Rawles is happy to add to that history one evening at a time. He cooks across the city — the historic streets of Phoebus, the homes near Buckroe Beach, the neighborhoods around Fort Monroe and Hampton University.

The arrangement never changes: he arrives with the day's ingredients, cooks in your kitchen, serves each course, and cleans up before he leaves. No restaurant, no reservation, no rush — just a dinner built for your table.

It works for a date night in Wythe as well as a birthday in Fox Hill or a dinner party near the water.
