Traditional Christmas Feast – Christmas Day Private Chef (Public Holiday Service)

Yes, 14 days before the date of your event. As you can understand, we require full payment before we can confirm and secure your booking. Once you’ve submitted your booking online through our platform, one of CHEFIN’s friendly team members will get in touch to go over the finer details of your event and requirements. After we’ve established your needs and what CHEFIN will provide, you’ll book directly through our website—the final price will be displayed on the checkout page, you make the payment, and that’s it. Once payment is received and confirmed, it’s party time! We’ll begin organizing and preparing your event, including all the fun stuff like curating the menu. As much as we’d love to settle for just a deposit, we’ve found that people tend to be a little unreliable when it comes to partial payments. That’s why we require full payment upfront before the chef can begin sourcing all your high-quality ingredients!

You can absolutely choose a chef! Once your booking is secured and confirmed, we’ll reveal a selection of chefs and menus tailored to your reservation. CHEFIN uses a sophisticated data algorithm to identify and select the chefs that best match your needs. This selection is based on your food preferences, dietary requirements, seasonal availability, event details, timing, location, and many other factors. What’s the point of hiring your own private chef if you can’t choose the best one to suit your needs? Take a look at the featured chef profiles for your booking—feel free to browse their pages to get a solid idea of each chef’s background, interests, and specialties. If you’re still hungry for more, head over to our Facebook and Instagram pages to see photos from various events and dishes created by our chefs. We also regularly upload videos to YouTube where you can dive deeper into the menus and culinary journeys of our chefs. If you’re not sure which chef is the best match for your event—or simply don’t have time to do the research—that’s totally fine! Just send us your event requirements when you book, and we’ll select the best chef to meet your needs.

CHEFIN chefs create each menu just a few days before the event date. The ingredient selection is based on seasonality, dietary needs, requirements, and preferences. This ensures that only the highest quality local produce is used to deliver an irresistible menu for everyone to enjoy the chef’s creations. All CHEFIN menus are personalized and uniquely crafted for each event. Our chefs are highly creative and love cooking new and distinctive dishes every time. While some dishes may appear similar, they are slightly different depending on seasonal produce and availability. CHEFIN clients collaborate with their private chefs to create delicious menus for their guests. Every menu requires your approval before being finalized and before the chef heads out to purchase fresh, local ingredients. If you’d like to be surprised, just let us know—we can even organize a blindfolded dining experience for you!
