Quick tips
What to Check Before Hiring a Chef
- Timings & access – confirm when they need access to your kitchen, how long preparation takes, and how service will be timed.
- Guest numbers & pacing – make sure they are comfortable cooking for your group size and managing the flow of courses.
- Clean-up and service add-ons – check what’s included after the meal and whether waiting staff or additional service comes at an extra cost.
- In-home setup requirements – understand what they need from your kitchen and what equipment they can supply.
- Service scope – clarify whether they handle shopping, preparation, cooking, service, and clean-up, or only specific stages.
