Questions
Private chef in Williamsburg, answered.
Do you cook in vacation rentals in Williamsburg?
Yes — Colonial-area rentals, Kingsmill, and resort homes are among the most common places Chef Rawles cooks. A standard rental kitchen is all he needs.
Can you cater a small Williamsburg wedding?
Yes. Intimate weddings, elopements, and rehearsal dinners are a specialty — cooked on-site and plated, or set as catering depending on the guest count.
You worked at Kingsmill and the Lodge — is this that level of food?
That is exactly the background he cooks from. The difference is the setting: the same care and technique, served in your home instead of a dining room.
