Fennell & Co was founded on a simple belief: the right chef can transform a household — but only if they're placed with real care.

Before starting the agency, founder Liv spent over 10 years working as a private chef, cooking in homes all over the world and extensively in London — for some of the most discerning and high-profile households. That experience sits behind everything we do. She knows first-hand what it takes to do this job well, what it means for a client to get the fit right, and what happens when they don't.

That's why we take the time to properly understand your household before we ever suggest a chef. We don't send a shortlist and hope for the best. We listen, we ask the right questions, and we place the chef who actually fits — your routines, your preferences, your home.

We understand that bringing someone into your home is personal. Discretion and trust are at the heart of everything we do, for clients and chefs alike.

And our support doesn't end at placement. We're on hand to help if anything needs adjusting along the way — because a great placement isn't a one-off transaction, it's a relationship we look after.

Whether you need a permanent chef to run your kitchen day-to-day, or a temporary chef for a special occasion, staff cover, or a seasonal stay, Fennell & Co is built on the experience of having done the job ourselves.
