Private chefs for homes and celebrations

Booking outside these areas
We arrange chef requests nationwide. Enter the full venue or property postcode and the actual dates you need. The location, role, food style and practical arrangements guide the chef match. For a larger private event or unusual requirement, send the booking team a message.
Travel and accommodation
Tell us about arrival instructions, parking, kitchen access and whether accommodation can be provided. If we need to arrange accommodation for the right chef, the extra cost is confirmed for your approval before it is booked. Ingredients for private dining are priced separately by invoice.
Planning a permanent chef role
For an ongoing role, use permanent chef recruitment and provide the salary, working hours, establishment and live-in terms. The £799 VAT-inclusive deposit starts a 14-day staff-led search and is credited against the placement fee.
