Welcome to Max Wood Private Dining
Where a passion for exceptional cuisine meets the art of creating truly personalised experiences. I’m Max, and I’m proud to run a small, independent business devoted to creating unforgettable dining experiences for intimate gatherings, special celebrations, and small parties—all in the comfort of your home or chosen venue.
Based in Kent, the picturesque “Garden of England,” I serve clients across the South East, including Surrey, Essex, East Sussex, and London. Wherever you are, I bring my culinary expertise to your table, showcasing the finest local and seasonal ingredients in every dish.
With over a decade of professional experience in a range of kitchens, I’ve developed the ability to bring a creative flair to every dish, combining vibrant colours, intriguing textures, and bold flavours to craft meals that excite every sense. With professional qualifications in catering and hospitality, along with food hygiene certification, I approach every aspect of your dining experience with care, precision, and a commitment to excellence. For me, food is more than nourishment—it’s an art, a science, and a lifelong passion that I’m excited to share with my clients.
Each menu is entirely bespoke, designed through a thoughtful consultation process to bring your vision to life. Whether you’re hosting a family celebration or an evening of fine dining, I ensure your event reflects your unique tastes and preferences. From menu planning and shopping to preparation and clean-up, I handle every detail so you can focus on enjoying the moment with your guests.
