What is included in a private chef service

Most private chefs offer a comprehensive service covering everything from menu planning to final clean-up. You can expect: a personalised menu designed around your preferences and dietary needs, shopping for fresh seasonal ingredients, full preparation of all dishes in your kitchen, professional plating, table service throughout the meal and complete clean-up at the end. Some chefs also offer wine pairings or signature cocktails as an add-on.

Frequently asked questions about private chefs

How far in advance should I book a private chef?

For special events and dinners we recommend booking at least 1-2 weeks ahead. During peak season (Christmas, summer) it is best to book a month in advance to guarantee availability.

Does the chef bring their own kitchen equipment?

Most chefs work with the utensils and appliances already in your kitchen. If they need specialist equipment (thermomix, siphon, blowtorch) they usually bring it themselves. Mention this when requesting your free quote to avoid any surprises.

Can I request a menu adapted to special diets?

Yes. Private chefs are experienced at preparing gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free or allergy-specific menus. Share your requirements when booking and the professional will design the menu to suit you.

Does the price include ingredients?

It depends on the chef. Some include ingredients in the per-person price; others charge separately with a shopping receipt. Check this detail in your quote so you know exactly what the rate covers.
