Bringing Culinary Excellence
To Your Home
private chef & signature catering
Chef Emrys is driven by the conviction that the highest level of culinary artistry is defined by precision, restraint, and an unwavering respect for the ingredient.
His decade-long career, honing this mastery, was forged in demanding kitchens across the UK and Australia. This has included refining his craft from Michelin-recognised restaurants, with their rigorous standards of execution and flavour pairing, to leading a high-end corporate culinary program at a Fortune 500 company. This path demanded the development of exceptional logistical expertise to deliver flawlessly executed, bespoke menus for exclusive executive and private functions and high-end galas.
When you engage Dinas by Emrys, you are leveraging a career dedicated not to spectacle, but to the effortless delivery of world-class culinary excellence.
Chef Emrys: Our Founder
The name Dinas (pronounced: Dee-nas) is not just a title; it is the philosophical core of our experience.
Dinas is named for the ancient legendary hill fort Dinas Emrys in North Wales—close to Emrys's ancestral family home, where myth, nature, and magic converge. This deep-rooted Welsh heritage inspires our commitment to grounded luxury. Honouring Emrys’s father, and the pride he carries in his roots, is at the very heart of the company name and defines the approach.
