Private dining & event catering

Typically priced per event or per head for larger groups, covering the chef’s time, meticulous menu planning, and sometimes ingredients depending on your specific arrangement. Enjoy clear, upfront pricing so you know the cost before confirming your booking.

Weekly chef placements

Usually charged per week or per day, tailored to the required hours and duties. Our fixed-rate contracts provide a straightforward way for households or businesses to manage recurring culinary costs with predictability.

Temporary staffing for restaurants & hospitality

Often based on hourly or daily rates, adjusted for the chef’s role, experience, and shift length. This flexible approach perfectly accommodates short-term needs or provides essential support during peak demand.

Several key factors contribute to the final price of hiring a chef, ensuring you receive a service perfectly matched to your expectations and budget. We aim for complete transparency in every quote.

Type of service

Whether it’s an intimate private dinner, large event catering, weekly placements, or temporary staffing, the nature of the service significantly influences the pricing model.

Duration & timing

Longer events or extended shifts will naturally increase costs. Please note that short-notice bookings may incur a premium to guarantee availability.

Chef experience & speciality

Highly experienced chefs, those with specialised cuisine expertise, or Michelin-level training may have higher rates, reflecting their unique skills and culinary artistry.

Menu complexity & ingredients

Elaborate menus featuring rare or premium ingredients will affect the price. Conversely, simpler, standard menus or fewer courses can help reduce costs.
