The Divine Time Philosophy
Divine Time is rooted in the belief that everything unfolds when it is meant to — in its own rhythm, in its own time. Guided by the cycles of nature — the seasons, the elements - it embraces flow, presence and a deeper connection to the moment. There is a return to simplicity and to what is real — where guests are invited to slow down, connect and experience something both elegant and meaningful. A way of gathering that feels natural, intentional and in harmony with time itself.
DIVINE FOOD EXPERIENCES
Each Divine Time experience begins with a commitment to quality ingredients. Wherever possible, organic produce is sourced alongside grass-fed or free-range meats and premium seasonal ingredients, ensuring every dish reflects both nourishment and flavour. Menus are thoughtfully designed around the seasons and the nature of each gathering, allowing the ingredients to guide the menu. On the day of the event, everything is prepared with care so hosts and guests can relax and enjoy the experience. Service remains calm, attentive and unobtrusive. Whether an intimate dinner or a larger celebration, the focus is always on creating a welcoming atmosphere where people can gather, connect and enjoy beautiful food together.

Divine Time gave us a stunning evening with food that excited and made us all drool, i can highly recommend them if you want a very special and private dining experience
Lynn Dudley-Owen
Intimate, unique, food was exceptional, more like Mitchelin star restaurant but in your private home. Toia is a very talented, vibrant fun chef. And having her little sous chef with her completed the exquisite evening. Highly recommended
Pauline Vijverberg
Magical evening with Divine Time. What a fantastic, unforgettable, most delicious experience I had with chef Toia at my house for my 60th dinner party. Her professional and creative approach made this magical evening of my dreams come true. The presentation of the plates was a feast to the eyes, the food was fresh and sophisticated and the nod to my Dutch heritage was a brilliant surprise. Her tiptop team assisted her in a delightful way.
