Frequently Asked questions
What menu will I receive for my event?
Your Personal Chef will create a fully customized menu once your reservation is confirmed. Every menu is tailored to your tastes, dietary needs, and event style — no two menus are ever the same. We’re confident you’ll love your chef’s creation, and if not, we’ll work with you until it’s perfect.
Can I choose a specific Personal Chef for my event?
After your booking is confirmed, our matching system reviews your preferences and pairs you with the most suitable chefs available in your area. You’ll receive a selection of chef profiles to choose from whenever possible.
During peak periods or last-minute bookings, a chef may be assigned directly to ensure your event is fully supported.
How does booking a Personal Chef work?
After you reserve your event online, you’ll receive a Booking Confirmation with your order details and next steps. You’ll then complete a short form with your dietary needs, food preferences, and event details.
From there, our system matches you with the best-suited chef, who will design a customized menu specifically for your event.
Do you have chefs available for my event?
Yes — and if for any reason we cannot assign a chef for your date, you will receive a full refund. We maintain a nationwide network of vetted Personal Chefs, giving us strong coverage across multiple cuisines, locations, and event styles.
What do I need to prepare for my event?
Please clear 1–2 shelves in your refrigerator and make some counter space available. When your chef arrives, they will need a brief walkthrough of your kitchen and dining area.
If your booking does not include waitstaff, you may need to set the table and provide your own plates, glassware, cutlery, and serving pieces.
What time does the chef arrive on the day?
Your Personal Chef will arrive approximately 1.5 hours before the scheduled mealtime with all the ingredients needed and will begin preparing your dishes right away.
If you’ve also booked waitstaff or bartenders, they will arrive separately.
Once service is complete, the team will clean the kitchen and event area, leaving the space spotless for you to enjoy the rest of your celebration.
Meeting meal ideas
What’s included in a 2-course meal?
All of our 2-course meals include two canapés and the main meal. You also have the option to choose either an entrée or dessert to complete your meal – the choice is up to you! If you like, you can also add wine pairing with your 2-course meal to add an extra dose of sophistication to your dining experience.
When should you order a 2-course meal?
A 2-course meal is a perfect option when you want high-end dining that you need to keep short & simple. Choose a 2-course meal if you are serving dessert separately or are short on time and have activities involving other food before or after the meal.
The addition of canapés makes our 2 course meals the perfect experience for in-home lunch parties, corporate lunches, board meetings, short and simple gatherings, and events where people may be mixing and mingling before sitting down for the meal itself – like a cocktail style function.
What’s the difference between a 2-course meal and a 3-course meal?
A 3-course meal will include an entrée, main, and dessert. A 2-course meal will always include a main, however, it’s up to you if you’d like to have an entree or a dessert. Since 2-course meals have one less dish being served, you’d typically spend a little less time around the dining table than you would with a traditional 3-course meal. As our 2-course meals come with 2 canapés, they allow for that extra time to be spent mingling and socialising rather than seated at a table.
What is an example of a 2-course meal?
Your canapés will be easy-to-eat, bite-sized pieces that can be eaten while either sitting or standing. An example would be seared scallops with anchovies mousse, and chives, or roasted cauliflower with spices and burnt tomato salsa.
Entrées will be a more substantial dish but still smaller than the main meal. You may get confit duck with quince and vegetable crisps, or prosciutto-wrapped quail breast with charred rockmelon and pumpkin dressing.
Main meals are the centrepiece of a 2-course meal and the largest dish you’ll be served. They typically consist of a meat-based dish with a side of vegetables (unless you have ordered a vegetarian menu). For the main, expect heavier dishes like spiced Moroccan lamb shank with reblochon potato puree and roasted fennel, or charcoaled beef short rib with leek, Lombok pickle, and croquette. A 2 course meal is designed to be light but filling enough.
Desserts will be a small but sweet end to the meal. You may be served black truffle ice cream with hazelnut delight or coconut panna cotta with wild berries compote and chocolate soil.
