Private Dining in your Holiday Home

A MasterChef Experience —
right here in your Lodge or Cottage

Elevate your stay at Toppesfield Hall with an unforgettable private dining experience in your holiday lodge or cottage.

We are delighted to recommend Claire Lara — the first female winner of MasterChef: The Professionals — who, alongside her French chef husband, creates bespoke dining experiences within the comfort of your holiday home.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, gathering with friends, or simply want to enjoy restaurant-quality food without leaving your holiday home, your evening will be completely tailored to you. Expect beautifully curated seasonal menus, refined techniques, and discreet, professional service — all in the relaxed setting of the Essex countryside.

Guests liaise directly with Claire and her team to design their menu and arrange every detail.
