Meet the Team Behind the Taste
Joseph Baer I Executive Chef
I’ve traveled to more than 80 countries in search of flavor, technique, and meaning—and each dish I create carries a piece of that journey. From unlocking vintage French cookbooks to designing menus around memories, I’m driven by a single idea: that food can connect, transport, and transform. Every Bespoke Palate experience is a new story waiting to be told—and I’m honored to help you tell it.


Jeffrey Kirkland I Creative Director
I bring 25 years of design, hospitality, and storytelling into each event we create. My role is about more than atmosphere—it's about emotion, intention, and detail. From ambiance and place settings to the arc of a multi-course menu, I ensure your experience is seamless, elevated, and one of a kind. But most of all fun.
Together, we believe that food is a medium for connection, and we are here to help you create moments that matter.
”Having experienced many afternoon teas in London, I had very high expectations, and I'm delighted to say I was not disappointed! My guests and I had an incredible experience. Bespoke Palate's food and presentation were outstanding, and I don't think I've ever had better scones! Thank you again for such a wonderful time.”
