The service · Festive flavours

Exceptional cuisine for your great occasions.

Private Chef Sean offers a private chef service for festive events and receptions in Lyon, birthdays, New Year's Eve, end-of-year celebrations, family gatherings, business dinners. Sean Ouler, who trained in the kitchens of the Paul Bocuse restaurant (Auberge du Pont de Collonges) and fine houses, with ten years in French haute gastronomy, composes a festive menu from a personalised brief: occasion, service format, number of guests, atmosphere.

Sourcing from Lyon artisans, full preparation and plating in your space, table service as an option. The service is operated by the chef alone for up to six guests (eight maximum), and up to fifty with a dedicated brigade organised in advance. Special diets integrated from the design stage. Food and wine pairing as an option.

Area: Lyon and all of France. Pricing on a written proposal after a 15-minute call according to menu, format, travel. During festive periods, booking recommended three to four weeks in advance.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know.

From 2 to 50 guests depending on the chosen format. Intimate dinner, family reception, dinner cocktail, large gathering, every configuration is possible. The chef works alone for intimate tables up to 6 guests (8 maximum); beyond that, a dedicated brigade is organised in advance.

After an initial conversation, I propose a menu suited to the occasion, your guests' tastes and the season. Everything is handled on my side: sourcing, equipment, logistics. You have nothing to organise.

No. I work with my own professional kit. A standard kitchen is enough, I adapt the menu and techniques to your configuration. Apartment, villa, private reception venue: everything works.

Yes. I can cook at your second residence, a rented property, a private reception venue or any other accessible location. Logistical conditions are reviewed together beforehand.

Absolutely. Each menu is built bespoke after a conversation about your tastes, your guests' dietary requirements, and your expectations. No diet or allergy is an obstacle.

A minimum of 72 hours is required for a standard service. For complex or large-scale events, 2 to 3 weeks are ideal to compose the perfect menu and secure the finest produce.

We had a special, celebratory work event for 50 people and were hoping to offer our international colleagues an exquisite culinary Lyonnaise experience. We approached Chef Sean who provided exactly the experience we were looking for. He took care to deliver a personalised, beautiful, stress-free experience from start to finish. Both meat and vegetarian options were divine, as were the desserts. I cannot recommend Sean and his team highly enough.
