A Private Chef's Guide to a Hen Party in Somerset!
The hen party is one of the most memorable weekends before the big day, and Somerset, with its luxurious manor houses and stunning country retreats, is the perfect backdrop. As your dedicated Private Chef in Somerset, we at The Fig Pantry believe the dining experience should be just as spectacular and completely stress-free.
Forget the hassle of coordinating bookings, transportation, or kitchen rota chaos. A private chef transforms your hen party weekend into a seamless, high-end culinary escape.
🥂 Phase 1: The Arrival Feast – Setting the Tone
The first night sets the standard. After the excitement of arrival and decorating, no one wants to shop or cook.
The Menu: We recommend a relaxed yet indulgent sharing board experience or a sophisticated three-course dinner. Think vibrant Somerset charcuterie, artisan cheeses, homemade sourdough, followed by a bespoke menu designed around the bride's favourite flavours.
The Vibe: Elegant, fun, and totally effortless. We handle every detail, from the bespoke menu creation to the quiet, professional service, allowing the whole bridal party to start celebrating immediately.
🍽️ Phase 2: Brunch, Lunch, and Leisure
A great hen weekend requires flexible, delicious daytime dining. A private chef gives you freedom from fixed restaurant times.
Morning Indulgence: A luxurious hen party requires a spectacular brunch. Imagine freshly baked pastries, colourful fruit platters, and perfectly cooked Eggs Benedict—all served at your leisure.
Afternoon Treats: Planning an activity? We can prepare an exquisite afternoon tea catering spread featuring delicate finger sandwiches and sweet treats, or a light, gourmet lunch so the group can focus on activities, whether it’s a spa session or cocktail making.
✨ Phase 3: The Signature Dinner – Bespoke & Beautiful
This is where the magic happens. We craft a signature meal that the bride and her guests will talk about for years.
Bespoke Brilliance: We tailor every single dish to the group’s tastes and any dietary requirements (vegan, gluten-free, allergies). The menu celebrates the best locally sourced and seasonal ingredients Somerset has to offer, ensuring every plate is both beautiful and bursting with flavour.
Impeccable Presentation: Dining with The Fig Pantry means enjoying impeccable presentation and second-to-none front-of-house service. It’s restaurant-quality dining, delivered in the privacy and comfort of your stunning Somerset venue.

Booking a private chef for your hen party means:
Zero Planning Stress: We take the burden of shopping, prep, and cooking off the maid-of-honour’s shoulders.
No Washing Up: We discreetly clean the kitchen before we leave, allowing the party to continue uninterrupted.
Total Flexibility: From start times to dish requests, the experience is entirely designed around your weekend itinerary.
