Chef Mihai Ostafi
With over a decade of professional experience across restaurants, luxury Cotswold hotels, and golf clubs, I’ve developed a deep and versatile skill set that translates seamlessly into private
chef work. From baking alongside my grandmother in her village bakery at the age of five to leading high-pressure kitchens and curating bespoke dining experiences, my journey as a chef has been defined by both heritage and hands-on expertise.
Rooted in my Greek and Turkish background, my cooking style celebrates the bold, fresh flavours of the Mediterranean. I’ve mastered the art of pasta during time spent training in Italy’s Amalfi Coast and have delivered everything from rustic barbecue feasts to refined 9-course tasting menus. My experience includes working at renowned venues such as Badminton Estate and The Swan at Bibury, as well as delivering tailored private dining through services like Dineindulge.
I’m Level 3 HACCP certified and accredited by Coeliac UK, ensuring not only safety but also inclusive, thoughtful dining for guests with dietary requirements. Whether preparing a relaxed breakfast in a private holiday home or orchestrating a wedding celebration, I focus on creating beautifully balanced, seasonal dishes that leave a lasting impression. Let me know if you’d like to tailor this even more for a specific job or client.
