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.
What does a 3-course meal consist of?
What is a 3-course meal?
A 3-course meal is any meal that includes one entrée, one main course, and one dessert. Also referred to as a standard course meal, 3-course meals are considered the starting point for fine dining. You can have more courses added to a 3-course meal to turn it into a more extravagant affair with more time spent taking in great food and excellent company. In this case, more dishes will be added, such as hors-d’oeuvres, soups, salads, amuse-bouche, and palate cleansers. Have a look at our Full Course Meal by clicking here.
When should you order a 3-course meal?
Order 3-course meals for events when you want formal dining that’s still relaxed. As a traditional style of French fine dining, 3-course meals are synonymous with elegant eating that has just the right amount of sophistication to keep you comfortable. They’re a fuller meal that includes the full spectrum of flavours with an entrée, main, and dessert.
Since they’re more slow-paced than 2-course meals, 3-course meals are best when you want to enjoy your time at the dining table, taking in everyone’s company and relishing the moment. Spike your senses with delicious food, engage in great conversation and enjoy a long dinner with more space between each course.
All of the above makes 3-course meals the best choice for longer events when you want time to pass by quickly with good conversation and great wine. Consider ordering 3-course meals for special occasions such as family celebrations, weddings, elegant birthday parties, awards nights, graduations, corporate dinners, and anytime you want an extravagant meal that has you seated at the table for longer.
Why are 3-course meals special?
Every 3-course meal is carefully planned and considered by your private chef. The entrée, main, and dessert will not be designed separately but holistically, delivering a food experience that has a complete nutritional profile and takes your taste buds on an amazing journey. If you think of your meal as a story, the entrée is the beginning, the main course the middle, and the dessert the finale that wraps it all together and leaves you feeling satisfied.
The slower pace of 3-course meals also gives you more time to savour the flavours in each dish and see how your chef has woven in different ingredients, elements, and techniques. Being served one dish at a time really highlights what is on that plate and allows you to appreciate the food you are eating in a different way than when eating a buffet, for example. You truly engage your senses and taste buds and can indulge in each dish slowly and appreciatively.
