Marie is the quiet force behind Portsmouth Private Chefs—ensuring every event runs smoothly, seamlessly, and with a touch of warmth. From your first enquiry to the final course, she manages the details behind the scenes with care, professionalism, and a genuine passion for delivering polished, personal experiences.

With a calm presence and a meticulous eye for detail, she ensures that guests feel cared for and every element of your private dining event is effortlessly executed.

Alongside her work in hospitality, Marie is pursuing her true passion—childcare. She is currently launching a full-time career dedicated to supporting families, with long-term plans to open her own nurseries across the South Coast and build one of the region’s leading nanny agencies.

Despite her busy journey into the world of early years education, Marie continues to support Portsmouth Private Chefs alongside her husband Jake, helping to grow the business and bring meaningful, memorable events to life.
