FAQs
A private chef through ChefMaison typically costs between £55–£105 per person, depending on party size, menu complexity, and extras like wine pairings — final pricing is always confirmed in a personalized quote from your chef. Each chef profile shows an indicative starting price, so you can compare options before requesting a quote. Every quote breaks down costs clearly upfront, meaning no hidden fees on the night itself. Once you approve the proposal, you can book and pay securely through the ChefMaison platform.
The chef should generally arrive between 1 and 2 hours in advance, although this will be variable on a per-request basis and will be communicated through the chat
A private chef is a chef who is hired by different clients for a specific event or time. A personal chef is a chef who is hired by one client full-time or part-time for a longer period of time - for example on vacation, for mealprepping or at home. ChefMaison offers both services.
Our chefs are very creative - and can find a solution to any dietary restriction or preference. Please use the chat to communicate your wishes
The chef will communicate with you anything he needs. Tableware, cutlery, and glasses can be provided by the chef on request. Use the chat with the chef to communicate your wishes!
