From the heat of the MasterChef kitchen to the warmth of your own home, Dan Merriman has always believed that the most unforgettable meals are the ones that bring people together.

Dan’s journey began not in a fine-dining kitchen, but at home—where food was always at the heart of family life. It was there he discovered the power of cooking to connect, comfort, and celebrate. That passion only deepened through years of hard work in some of the UK’s most respected restaurants, where Dan honed his craft, developed his signature style, and built a reputation for flavour-forward, beautifully balanced food.

In 2024, Dan’s commitment to excellence was recognised on the national stage when he was crowned MasterChef: The Professionals Champion. His creative flair, calm precision, and bold, seasonal cooking stood out from the very first round—winning praise from the judges and capturing the imagination of food lovers across the country.

But even after the cameras stopped rolling, Dan stayed true to what matters most: bringing joy through food. That’s what inspired him to launch At Home with Dan—a completely bespoke private dining experience where Michelin-level cooking meets the intimacy of your own space.
