The privilege of being expected.

01 Private, by nature

The pleasure is in the knowing.

Limechilli is Mark Farmer's private culinary service, shaped around the way you live, entertain and travel.

Nothing is off the shelf. Menus, timings, suppliers and service move with your household, whether that means a calm Tuesday supper, a house full of friends or a table that simply has to be perfect.

04 Beyond the shoreline

“Service that knows when to say nothing.”

Mark has brought the Limechilli standard to special occasions aboard superyachts, where a day can change with the light, the water and the company.

It is a discreet experience built for dignitaries, royal guests and people from the film world: exacting, intimate and entirely unshowy.

05 The man behind the pass

A life in good taste.

  1. Grounded

    Cape Town

    Raised in Hout Bay, where the sea sets the menu. A hospitality training and the Cape's kitchens gave Mark a start built on produce and service.

  2. Refined

    Zermatt

    Seasons cooking in Zermatt from 2003 taught him the craft of quiet anticipation in one of the world's most exacting winter settings.

  3. Proven

    Yachts, estates & islands

    Two decades across superyachts, private estates, royal households and six-star private islands, with clients who expect everything and notice everything.

  4. Now

    Limechilli

    London-based experience, international composure and food that stays with people long after the evening has passed.
