The Chefpost experience includes preparing and cooking your selected food at your home, then plating, serving or storing the meals as appropriate for your service.

Your chef cleans the cooking area and washes the utensils, pots and pans used during the service. Your kitchen is left the way it was received.

Food containers are not included. If you do not have containers, please let us know in advance.

Ask our Customer Experience team about plates and table setting, decor, personalized or themed decor, servers, flower arrangements and buffet serveware. These additional services cost extra. Contact the team to discuss your event and the details.

The time you book is the chef's arrival time. As a general guide, allow approximately two hours for preparation and cooking. For a 7:00 pm meal, that would mean a 5:00 pm arrival. Preparation time varies with the menu and service, so this is a planning example.

Confirm the timing for your menu with our Customer Experience team before booking.
