Pricing

What a private chef costs

Every dinner is custom, so pricing is too. Here is what goes into it, plainly, with no games and no obligation to book.

Private dinners

By custom quote

Tell Chef Josh your menu, your guest count, and your date. He sends back a clear quote with everything itemised, so there are no surprises.

What affects the price

Number of courses

A three-course dinner and a seven-course tasting menu are different evenings, and priced differently.

Guest count

More guests means more food and more time. Smaller, intimate dinners and larger tables are quoted differently.

The menu itself

Premium ingredients like seafood or specialty cuts affect the cost of the courses you choose.

Service level

Extra servers for a larger event, or a simpler setup for a dinner for two.

Always included

  • Custom menu design
  • Grocery shopping and sourcing
  • On-site cooking
  • Plating and full table service
  • Kitchen cleanup

Not included

  • Alcohol and other drinks
  • Glassware and specialty tableware, if you want it
  • The kitchen and dining space

One thing worth remembering: hosting at home means you serve your own wine with no restaurant markup, and you wake up to a clean kitchen. A private chef is often closer to a night out than people expect.

No obligation. Tell Chef Josh about your evening and he will send back a menu and a price.
