Private Chef Service in Rossie Ochil Estate Forgandenny PH2 9DH in Perthshire
I recently catered a private dinner for a lovely family at this beautiful self-catering estate near Perth, Scotland — an anniversary celebration for a small group staying in the house for the weekend. The grounds are the first thing you notice on the drive up — pheasants and other wildlife roam freely before you reach the house. Rossie Ochil is a genuinely impressive self-catering property near Perth, and one I’d happily recommend to anyone planning a stay there.
The house also works well for weddings — I’ve cooked wedding breakfasts in the same kitchen for other clients.
The property is large, with plenty of space for a group to spread out and enough room in the kitchen to cook a full multi-course dinner entirely from scratch.
If you like to cook or if you hire your Catering Company or a Private Chef here they will prepare for you very comfortably any meal.
I was impressed by the size of the rooms and the whole house and how well is kept.

My guests usually love the homemade canapés — crispy haggis bonbons, crispy black pudding bonbons, arancini and a succulent pork belly bite. For this dinner I planned a fresh minestrone soup with homemade ravioli and a trio of salmon as two starters, then a Scottish fillet of beef, pan-roasted and served with honey-roasted vegetables. Dessert was homemade ice cream and a sticky toffee pudding. The family left a lovely five-star review on my Google Business Profile afterwards, and wrote about the ice cream specifically in the house guest book — you can see a photo of that below.

Rossie Ochil Estate is a large self-catering house near Forgandenny, easily big enough for a group booking a private chef rather than splitting off to separate restaurants. For a dinner like this one, I bring everything I need beyond what’s already in the kitchen — my own knives, pans and equipment — and cook every course fresh on site rather than reheating anything prepared off-site. A group staying the whole weekend can book more than one evening, and the menu changes each time so nobody eats the same thing twice.
Rossie Ochil is one of many Perthshire houses I cook in. See private chef in Perthshire for the full area and how a booking works.
