Private Dining by Martin Frickel

Welcome to Private Dining by Martin Frickel, where I bring Michelin-starred flair and 16 years of Cumbrian culinary mastery straight to your table. As a Lake District chef with a passion for bespoke feasts, I transform your home or holiday let into an unforgettable fine dining escape - think fire-kissed dishes blending local ingredients with my Scandinavian roots and Asian twists.

My Story

I've honed my craft in top kitchens like Senior Sous Chef at The Forestside and alongside L'Enclume's legends, even reaching the National Chef of the Year finals. Now, I'm all about creating intimate, show-stopping experiences just for you, complete with my award-winning Sweet Treats to cap off the night.

What I Offer

Choose from 3-8 course menus tailored to your tastes - elegant classics, bold fire feasts, or fully customized for diets and pairings. I handle everything: sourcing, cooking, plating, and cleanup, so you just relax and savour. Perfect for Cumbria celebrations or elevating your stay.

Based in Kendal, I serve the Lakes and North with pop-ups like The Secret Table at Underscar. Ready to make your next event legendary? Book me for dining that wows.
