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 a 5-course meal?
Because a 5-course meal is so elaborate, it is more well-paced, and it can take some time to complete the meal from start to finish. For that reason, the best occasions for a 5-course meal are those where you can take your time sitting around the dinner table. This allows you to savour each dish, enjoy the spaces in between, and relish in conversation with friends and family.
5-course meals are a more traditional and formal dining style, so they are well-suited to events requiring luxury and exuberance. With two canapés, entrées, and mains per person, there is no shortage of incredible food. Order a 5-course meal when you are looking to treat friends & family or impress a client with a delectable meal.
Another reason you may want to order a 5-course meal is if you’d like a banquet-style of eating, where you can sample and enjoy several smaller dishes instead of just one or two larger dishes. This allows you to enjoy more flavour sensations and explore the signature cooking style of your private chef.
Is a 5 course meal too much food?
If you haven’t eaten a full-course meal before, 5 courses can sound like too many. However, each 5-course meal is carefully planned by our private chefs to deliver a harmonious and complete dining experience that’s not too little nor too much. Each dish is carefully portioned to not be too heavy on the stomach, and each course will complement the one that came before it.
The courses in this meal are not as large as a traditional serving but are designed to build your appetite and satisfy it slowly. You will not be bombarded with one dish after the other but will have the opportunity to sit and relish the afterglow of each course. These short breaks also allow you to digest your food and prepare for the next meal. By the end of the 5 courses, the goal is for you to feel as satisfied as eating one large meal.
