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 team@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

What happens if I cancel?

We offer an optional flexible booking service designed to give you peace of mind. By adding this service when confirming your reservation, you'll have the flexibility to cancel your event up to 3 days before the scheduled date, ensuring you have extra security if your plans change. Unfortunately, cancellations within 3 days of the event cannot be refunded due to grocery shopping and chef preparations. For a worry-free experience, consider taking advantage of this additional service when you book. Otherwise, our standard terms and conditions will apply.

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 team@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.

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 team@chefmaison.com

How much does a private chef cost?

The cost of a private chef can vary greatly depending on several factors. Chefmaison ensures transparent pricing communication so that customers know exactly what to expect. There are no additional costs on the evening itself.

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.

Elevate Your Cottage Getaway with a Private Chef

Imagine this: You’ve spent the day soaking in the serene beauty of nature, exploring hidden trails, or simply unwinding in the peaceful seclusion of your luxury cabin.

Available Anywhere, Anytime: No need to settle for the one restaurant in the nearest village or venture out after a long day of relaxation.

Personalized Menus Crafted Just for You: Every dish is tailored to your preferences and dietary needs. Whether you’re craving traditional comfort food, vibrant international flavors, or fresh, innovative cuisine, your private chef will design a menu that suits your taste, drawing inspiration from the local surroundings.
An Intimate, Unforgettable Atmosphere: Picture your cottage or AirBnB turning into an exclusive dining venue, where every meal is a private, intimate affair. Whether it’s a special occasion, a family reunion, or simply a night to remember, your private chef creates a restaurant-quality experience in the comfort of your cozy retreat.
Seamless Integration into Your Stay: Our chefs adapt to your pace and preferences, whether you're planning an early breakfast before a day of exploration or a leisurely evening dinner under the stars. Every moment is thoughtfully curated, making sure your culinary experiences are as restful and enriching as your surroundings.
