Hiring Steve as your personal chef

Start planning

When planning your event Steve will need to know about predicted numbers, food likes and dislikes, plus any special dietary requirements.

He will send you menu suggestions to choose from and may ask to see your kitchen in advance of the event so he can plan around any potential challenges and make sure everything goes smoothly. He can bring everything from glasses and cutlery to pots, pans and serving dishes if required.

Pricing

Every booking is bespoke and we do not offer fixed price menus, however the price of your event will be calculated and agreed with you before you commit to booking. Steve will usually quote a fixed price for his labour (which includes shopping, prepping, travel and the hours spent on-site), with an additional estimated price for ingredients. Serving staff and any tableware hire are costed separately and added to the total quote. Do call for further advice or information.

Serving staff

We recommend using serving staff for larger parties and we have highly skilled waiters, butlers, bar-tenders and mixologists we can bring to your event if required.

How much does it cost to hire a chef for an event?

We do not offer fixed price menus, however if you have a budget in mind this will help Steve to pick out dishes you will like. We will then calculate a cost for Steve’s labour and an estimated price for the ingredients.

Will you need access to a kitchen?

Steve has his own dedicated prep kitchen where the bulk of his cooking is done. From there, he can deliver ready-to-serve food for a cold buffet without needing to use your own kitchen. For sit-down dinners, he will need to use your kitchen and may ask to see this in advance of the event.

Do you do outdoor events?

Yes, where logistics permit, we can provide picnics and food for outdoor events. BBQs and al fresco lunches and parties are very popular over the summer months. All you need to supply is the space and the barbecue/grill.

Do you cater for specific dietary needs?

Yes. One of the first things Steve wants to know is, “do you have any special dietary requirements?” He is highly adept at accommodating food allergies, and gluten-free, vegan, and intolerant diets.

Do you provide waiting staff?

We can provide staff if required. It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the venue and what you would like for your event. Our staff are reliable, courteous and professional. Clients often prefer having staff if there are more than 10 guests. They can serve drinks, food and clear up when the party’s over.

My friends are hiring a holiday let near Hampton Court, can you provide catering services?

Yes, we can provide meals for your stay. If the holiday is to celebrate an occasion, Steve can cook a hassle-free feast for you and your guests. If it’s a large group, he can bring along serving staff if needed.

How far do you travel?

Usually within a 50-mile radius of East Molesey taking in London, Surrey, Berkshire, and parts of Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, and Sussex.
