How Much Does a Private Chef Near You in Mbombela / Nelspruit Cost?

ChefMaison allows you to discuss directly with chefs around Mbombela / Nelspruit and receive personalized quotes based on your unique preferences and budget, so every event is customized to your exact needs. Since every ChefMaison event is unique - there's no fixed pricing. However, we offer indication prices ranging from R59 to R194 per person for weekend bookings for 4 courses, depending on the menu and services selected.

What’s included in our indication prices:

  • Groceries and menu ingredients - you don't need to do any shopping or preparation
  • Chef preparation time and service during your event (cooking, plating, serving, and cleanup)

To make their event even more memorable, many of our clients choose extra options such as:

  • Extra courses, such as cheese platters, luxury amuses, wine pairings, and cocktails
  • Premium ingredients like wagyu, oysters, caviar, or Kobe beef
  • Children menus or special dietary requests
  • Servers for larger groups (usually for 10+ guests)
  • Equipment rentals (tables, heaters, fancy tableware, fireworks 🎇 etc.)

Tips for reducing the costs on your private chef experience

  • Booking during the week is an excellent way to save money, as many chefs offer weekday discounts for events.
  • The price per person decreases as the number of guests increases, making it more affordable for larger groups.
  • Book early: Booking your private chef well in advance gives you more time to discuss your preferences and budget, allowing you to secure the best chef at the best price. This also avoids premium prices during high-demand seasons and holidays or weekends.

You have the flexibility to work directly with your chef to create a completely personalized experience, whether you're planning a casual dinner with friends or a lavish celebration. Whatever your vision, ChefMaison ensures your event will be exactly as you imagine it because you have direct contact with your personal chef.
