Frequently Asked Questions

Can a private chef cook in an Airbnb or rental cabin?

Yes. The majority of our Chefs are renters and supply all their equipment. Please speak to your host in advance of your stay to find out what is available in the kitchen and what tools your Chef will require to be brought in order to prep menus.

What is the minimum time for booking a private chef?

Four to six weeks ahead is best, for a summer weekend it pays to book earlier rather than later as these are the busiest periods of the market year. Some chefs will take same day bookings but you will find your menu choice is very restricted.

Do private chefs cater for special diets?

Yes. During the booking process, please tell us if there are any special dietary needs for allergies, vegans or gluten free. A dedicated chef will create bespoke menus and serve up healthy options for all to enjoy.

Do private chefs get tips?

Most of our guests tip 15 to 20% for fabulous service. See if the gratuity is included in your quote.
