Do I have to pay rightaway?

No. Your final costs will be entered by the chef after you've designed your menu

How can I purchase as a business?

During checkout, you have the opportunity to enter your VAT Number - which will appear on your invoices

Can I get an invoice up front?

Yes. Please contact us at operations@chefmaison.com for options

Is my payment secure?

Absolutely. We do not store your or the chef's banking details, and partner with Stipe - a global payments provider - for safely processing payments

How can I use my gift card?

During checkout, you can apply your discount code - this option is currently unavailable on our mobile app

Why do you charge a service fee?

The service fee helps us maintain the platform, cover transaction costs, and provide support

Yes, at checkout you can choose to pay a deposit. We’ll charge 30% upfront to secure your date with the chef, and the remaining balance will be charged 14 days before the event.

What happens if the chef cancels?

This rarely happens. We have strict rules on cancelling our guests's requests and incentivize our chefs to never cancel. However, there might be emergencies. In this case, we will try to look for a chef within 24 hours of the cancellation - we cannot guarantee anything though. Refunds are of course granted if we cannot provide an alternative chef

How can I apply for a refund?

Please contact us at operations@chefmaison.com.

What if the number of guests changes?

Please communicate this with the chef. The chef will adjust the menu and the price accordingly.

What time will the chef arrive?

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

What is the difference between a private and personal chef?

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.

What if I have dietary restrictions?

Our chefs are very creative - and can find a solution to any dietary restriction or preference. Please use the chat to communicate your wishes

What do I need to have in my kitchen?

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!

Our chefs are responsible for their own liability insurance. ChefMaison is not responsible for damages or accidents during the service of the chef - it is their responsibility. If you need more information, contact us at operations@chefmaison.com

I organized a 50th birthday celebration with friends in the beautiful French countryside near Sézanne. To make the occasion even more special, I asked Chef Nelson Neveu to create an Asian-French fusion dinner, something outside of his traditional menu. Chef Nelson exceeded all expectations. He designed an exquisite menu that was both creative and absolutely delicious. Every course was beautifully presented, and most importantly, everyone in our group loved the food. It was one of the highlights of our celebration. His colleague, who served us throughout the evening, was equally wonderful. As guests from Norway and the USA with very limited French, we relied on Google Translate, patience, and plenty of laughter to communicate. Their warmth, humour, and hospitality made the entire experience effortless and memorable. I wholeheartedly recommend Chef Nelson as your next private chef. He helped create a truly special evening, and I am certain you will be just as pleased with the experience as we were.

Reaction of the chef

Chère Tammie, Un immense merci pour ce magnifique commentaire qui me touche sincèrement. Ce fut un véritable plaisir de créer spécialement pour vous ce menu fusion asiatique-français et de participer à la célébration de votre 50e anniversaire. Savoir que vous et vos amis venus de Norvège et des États-Unis avez apprécié chaque étape du dîner est pour moi la plus belle des récompenses. Nous garderons également un excellent souvenir de cette soirée, de votre bonne humeur et de tous ces moments de partage… même avec l’aide de Google Translate ! 😊 La cuisine est aussi un langage universel, et cette soirée en était une belle illustration. Merci pour votre confiance, votre gentillesse et votre recommandation. J’espère sincèrement avoir le plaisir de cuisiner à nouveau pour vous lors d’un prochain séjour en France. Bien chaleureusement, Chef Nelson Neveu

I hired Chef Nelson for a birthday family style convivial dinner in Bourgone. We were a group of 15 people and were looking for a cozy experience. We co created a delicious menu of roast beef, chicken, a few salads, Apero, and cakes. The food was absolutely delicious and generous and the set up was exactly what I had hoped for. Chef Nelson and his team left the kitchen spotless after cooking and made sure all dishes are cleaned. Everyone was happy with the experience and I was incredibly grateful. Thank you Chef Nelson!i
