What’s included in my private chef quote?

Even better news is that the quoted price you’ll receive from our private chefs doesn’t only cover the food. As well as a beautifully bespoke menu, your chosen caterer will also bring all of the equipment needed to serve your event alongside tableware and trimmings (from cutlery to serving dishes and glasses) - you just need to provide a table! Another benefit worth noting is that it's a requirement for our caterers to be able to serve without a kitchen on site if necessary - no stress, just great food.

What isn’t included in the cost of my private chef hire?

Drinks - of both the giddy and guilt-free variety - may be included on a caterer-by-caterer basis, but it’s best to discuss this with the private chef you have your heart set on. They’ll let you know whether drinks catering is included within their quoted cost or whether they will need to amend their quote to provide this service.

Waiting staff will not be provided by our caterers, however for an additional add-on cost this may be available upon request. When you book with us, you'll be assigned a personal account manager, who'll tailor your booking from start to finish, listening carefully to what you want and recommending only the best-suited caterers. Make sure to discuss your requirements with your dedicated account manager from the get go; if you tell us you want a private chef who can provide drinks and waiting staff from day dot we can make sure to recommend the perfect match with speed and gusto! Our team are all event experts who have planned hundreds of successful events, so you can sit back and relax in the knowledge that everything’s being taken care of.
