Our chefs are well trained, very adaptable and able to work in most environments. Please contact us for any queries.

7. What do I need to provide my chef?

Diners are expected to provide their kitchen, kitchen equipment and dining area - the chef will bring everything else!

Your chef will arrive one to two hours before the agreed dining time to allow for adequate preparation and set up.

9. What happens if my guests are late?

Please ensure you and your guests are ready on time to enjoy your meal in optimum condition. Our chefs can accommodate short delays to serving times but anything beyond 30 minutes causes difficulties.
