Food prepared by Scran Doh — private chef and events in the Cotswolds
Cotswolds · Oxford · Real menus from real events

Seasonal.
From scratch.
Built around you.

Every menu is written from scratch for the occasion, the setting and the people sitting around the table. What you see here is real — food that has actually been cooked, at real events, in the Cotswolds and beyond.

The approach

French technique.
International
flavour.

The foundation is classical French — knife work, sauces, the long-built discipline that underpins everything else. What sits on top is a deliberate mix: Asian depth, Scandinavian restraint, South American boldness, and whatever the British countryside is offering right now.

Fire where the setting calls for it. Seasonality throughout. Every menu starts with a brief and ends somewhere specific.

Menus here are real examples — food that has been cooked at actual events. Every new booking is written from scratch. Dietary requirements are built in from the start.

How a menu is built

Every menu
starts with
a conversation.

  1. 01 The occasion

    A shared garden feast is a different brief to a six-course private dinner. The format shapes everything — from cooking method to pacing to how many hands are needed.

  2. 02 The setting

    Fire cooking needs the right outdoor space. A formal dining room calls for different things. The setting tells us what’s possible before the menu is written.

  3. 03 The season

    Menus are written to what’s good right now. A summer menu built around grilled peaches and charred sweetcorn is a different thing in October. That’s the point.

  4. 04 Your guests

    Dietary requirements, preferences, things you love, things you’d rather avoid — all of it goes into the brief. The menu works for every person at the table, not around them.

Talk about your menu

What’s your
occasion?

An enquiry is the start of the conversation, not a commitment. Tell us what you’re planning and we’ll come back with ideas.
