Customer Reviews
Robin Hutton
ISO in Melbourne has been tough and not being able to go to a restaurant for our anniversary was deflating, so we created one at home. The food that CHEFIN provided was outstanding and the flavours brilliant. And easy to follow instructions as well. We had a great night. Thanks
Your menu will be fully customised based on your requirements by a Private Chef.

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.

When should I order the 5-course meal prep package?
This package is perfect for occasions when you want a luxurious feast without leaving your home. Order the package for celebrations and special moments that deserve an incredible meal, but for which you may not want to leave your home.
- If you’re hosting a dinner party but don’t want to cook,

What’s included in a 5-course meal?
As part of this meal prep package, you’ll receive 2 entrées, 2 mains, and 1 dessert. The actual dishes themselves can be any cuisine of your choice, and if you have any ideas or specifications then feel free to let your chef know at the time of purchase. Typically, the entrées will consist of smaller meals or appetisers. These are still complex and intriguing but served in a smaller portion than the main meal. The mains will be two extravagant chef-made dishes. Finally, there is dessert.
Since this meal is prepped to be served and eaten on your own, you are free to eat at your own pace and enjoy lengthy conversations and laughter over the dinner table. To enhance your dining experience, you can also add wine pairing to the meal prep package.
