Hiring a private chef is a great way to take the stress out of hosting a party or event, or to make a special occasion even more memorable – but how much does it cost?
How Much Does A Private Chef Cost?
Understanding the Cost of Hiring a Private Chef
The cost of hiring a private chef will vary depending on a number of factors – from the number of guests to the type of event and location.
Most personal chef services will cater for everything from BBQs and buffets, to a sit down dinner – your style of meal will impact the cost. A baby shower buffet for 15 will be a lower price per head compared to an 10 course tasting menu for 2. Whether it is a small dinner at home or a wedding for 100, UK based Private Chef Direct will deliver exceptional food and flawless service every time.
Factors Influencing the Cost of a Private Chef
By hiring a private chef you are getting a completely tailor-made dining experience in a location of your choice – whether that’s in your home or another venue. The private chef and their team are completely dedicated to you and your guests, unlike in a typical restaurant experience. This gives the chef more time to focus on you and your needs – explaining each course or dish on the menu in detail.
As well as creating a completely bespoke menu to your tastes, most chefs will also do all of the planning and preparation. This will include the food shopping and travel time to your event which is covered in the total price. At Private Chef Direct, we deep clean your kitchen when we’re finished, leaving no sign we were ever there! We also provide all of the crockery and tableware, taking one more stress off your plate.
What Services Are Included in the Cost of a Private Chef?
As well as a completely tailor-made menu and travel to the location, all clean crockery, water glassware and cutlery are supplied and taken away dirty.
All ingredients will also be supplied (even salt and pepper!), so no need to worry about stocking the cupboards beforehand. Private Chef Direct only use high quality ingredients, sourcing produce organically and locally where ever possible.
