Frequently asked questions
How much does a personal chef cost for a dinner party?
A personal chef for a dinner party in Europe typically charges €400 to €1,200 for the service fee. Ingredient costs are usually passed through at cost or with a 10% to 15% sourcing mark-up. The service fee covers menu planning, preparation time, cooking, plating, and basic kitchen cleanup. Staff gratuity is separate.
What should a personal chef quote include?
Specify: number of guests, number of courses, the service scope (arrival time, setup, cooking, service, cleanup), whether groceries are included or sourced at cost, dietary restrictions accommodated, and equipment required. Also note travel costs if the location is beyond your standard area.
Do personal chefs charge separately for weekly meal prep?
Weekly meal prep is typically quoted as a weekly or monthly service: €200 to €500 per week depending on the number of meals and complexity. Ingredients are usually charged at cost. Quote the service fee and a separate estimated ingredient budget so the client knows their all-in weekly cost before committing.
