Restaurant food,
made for life at home.
YouBeChef is the meal kit arm of Chef Robert Thompson's RT Café Grill, on the Isle of Wight.
A great restaurant night,
in your own kitchen.
YouBeChef was created to bring the feeling of a great restaurant night into your own home. Not as a replacement for going out, but as a way to enjoy the same care, balance and flavour in a more relaxed setting.
It's about slowing down, sharing a meal and enjoying the moment together — without pressure or performance.
Robert Thompson.
Robert is a British chef who's been cooking professionally since his early twenties. He's held Michelin recognition during his career and was appointed MBE for services to hospitality.
He now runs RT Café Grill on the Isle of Wight — a relaxed restaurant cooking to restaurant standards, in a dining room people actually want to spend an evening in.
YouBeChef is what happens when that same kitchen ships its menus across the country.
Visit RT Café Grill.
YouBeChef ships from the same kitchen that cooks for guests at RT Café Grill every week.
If you're on the Isle of Wight, the dining room's worth the visit.
Book at RT Café Grill ↗The hard work, done.
Every menu begins life exactly as it would in the restaurant. Ingredients are chosen carefully, flavours are balanced, the hard work is done in advance.
We prep, cook and pack everything — so when your box arrives, the focus shifts away from cooking and back to the experience you're sharing. Clear guidance is included so you can finish, plate and enjoy with confidence.
This isn't about learning to be a chef. It's about having a great evening at home.
