An evening with friends
A long, talkative evening to see the year out at the table. Shared dishes or a menu served course by course; the rhythm follows the mood of the gathering.
An evening with close friends through December, a year-end family dinner or New Year’s Eve itself… Pınar İshakoğlu sets the last table of the year with a menu written for the occasion and the people around it.

QUESTIONS
Questions about New Year
When should I get in touch for New Year’s Eve?
There is no fixed lead time. For the last week of December, sharing your request early makes planning easier; availability depends on date and scope.
Is there a set New Year menu?
No. Date, guest count, tastes, allergies and December’s produce are discussed, and the menu is written within that frame.
Which cities do you work in?
Pınar İshakoğlu and her team are based in Istanbul. Year-end dinners outside Istanbul are considered according to date and scope.
Do you also cater large New Year parties?
Private chef work is more personal in scale. Large gatherings, company year-end events and catering are handled through OH Dining.
