Cayetano Rangel

I bring global technique and Spanish soul to bespoke private dining.

I’m a professional chef with 38 years of experience cooking around the world—Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, the USA, Japan, and now England. I’ve absorbed cultures and gastronomy along the way to shape a cuisine that feels personal, generous, and precise.

I trained at the Escuela Superior de Hostelería y Turismo de Madrid and I’ve worked at Michelin-starred level. I design tailored menus for every kind of event—from casual sharing and buffets to fine dining and tasting menus—and I adapt to dietary requirements with the same care and attention to detail.

Talk to me about your event

For me, cooking is not only a job—it's a lifestyle, and the most generous way to share.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook with generosity and purpose

Cooking is more than passion for me—it’s a lifestyle. I use food as my way to share, to connect, and to create memorable moments with honest flavor and careful execution.

I’m grounded in classic training and real experience

I learned my craft at the Escuela Superior de Hostelería y Turismo de Madrid, and I’ve spent decades cooking internationally. That journey shaped my technique, my palate, and my ability to adapt each menu to the occasion.

I lead with quality, honesty, and love

My kitchen philosophy is simple: quality, honesty, and love. I choose ingredients carefully, cook with respect, and build menus that feel genuine—because that’s what I want for my guests.

Cayetano's Menus

I offer menus for everything from casual celebrations to refined tasting experiences. I tailor each menu to your event style, your guests, and your dietary needs—always with a focus on quality ingredients and bold, balanced flavors.

Chef Cayetano was just incredible. The food was amazing, and all our guests commented on just how good it was. It was some of the best tapas we have ever had, and we had guests who live in Spain and said them same! He was really lovely but at the same time was very discreet and professional. The clean up was immaculate and would not hesitate to recommend chef Cayetano to anyone!

Chef Cayetano did an excellent job for a special 70th birthday meal. He was very accommodating in creating a menu which worked for our group. The meal itself was delicious, presented beautifully and he explained each course in detail. The kitchen was left spotless by him and his assistant. Overall a great experience, thank you!

Delicious food and a great host! The kitchen was left spotless afterwards which was so helpful during a busy hen party!

This was a wonderful experience for my parents' 60th anniversary, thank you so much Cayetano. The aromas from the kitchen while he prepared the meal were amazing and the dishes were sublime, a true Spanish experience. All the dishes were introduced perfectly, informing us of the origin of the ingredients and how he made each dish. We had 5 courses in total and all of them were so well cooked and tasted remarkable. No delays between courses, everything was timed to perfection. And the kitchen was left cleaner than when he arrived! I lived in Madrid for 7 years and this was the true Spanish experience, it brought back so many memories of fine dining. I cannot recommend highly enough, a wonderful experience.

Chef Cayetano was exceptional! He was very flexible with us as one of our party was running late so ended up starting later than planned. The food was delicious and there was so much of it!! It was a great evening and it felt like great value for money. Would use Chef Cayetano again without hesitation.

After initially being very disappointed due to extremely poor communication with the chef I’d booked and then him cancelling 2 weeks before our event, Chef Cayetano stepped in and we are so happy he did! The food was amazing! He made our event really special and we will definitely be contacting you again for future events. Thank you!

Natasha

Chef cay stepped in less than 2 weeks before and wow what a substitute. Turned up bang on time. Was great to watch. Great information on each dish and the food was perfect. Portion sizes were big! Can't recommend the experience enough. And the chef was first class. Would definitely rebook this chef and use tale a chef again.
