Private Chef & Events

HOW IT WORKS

Hiring us to cook for you privately or to run your event couldn't be easier. Simply give us a call on 07738 703450 and we'll run through everything with you and work with you every step of the way.

The first step is to agree a date and venue and number of guests.( If you are staying in a holiday venue we will more than likely have worked there before and will be familiar with the set up)
Your menu choice will determine your cost. Included in the per head cost are all food, chef, FOH* prep and fixed costs.
Mileage is charged at £0.45pence per mile.
We'll ask you for a 25% deposit to secure the date you've chosen.
We'll then discuss your menu - 90% of our menus are bespoke, we like to work with our customers to find the perfect menu for all guests, however, we do have some sample menus HERE if you're looking for ideas.
We cater for all dietary & lifestyle requirements.
You should flag allergies and intolerances as soon as you book your event.
Once we have agreed on your menu, guests can choose one dish from each course. You don't all have to eat the same dishes.
We'll then agree on what time you should eat. We'll be on site up to 1.5 hours prior to your event depending on the services required and the dishes being served.
We require you and your guests menu choices 14 days before the date of the event.
The final balance is due no later than 10 days prior to the event.
A lot of your meal will have been prepared in advance on the day so as to cause minimum disruption to you.
We are used to working in all sorts of different domestic kitchens so please don't worry, so long as you let us know have to switch the oven on we'll be fine !
All we ask is that the kitchen work surfaces are free to use and that you leave us two shelves in the fridge.
Unless agreed we will ask you to lay the table and decorate the venue for your celebration.
Service will last between 2 and 2.5 hours depending on the menu you've chosen.
We will leave you kitchen as we have found it. We will wash up crockery, pans and cutlery and put them back where we found them .

*FOH Subject to number of guests at the event.
