Chefpost is opening in Boston. We are onboarding vetted New England chefs now for in-home dinners, weekly meal prep, and summer menus out on the Cape and the islands. Tell our concierge your date, your neighborhood and how you like to eat, and we will match you with a background-checked chef who plans the menu, cooks in your kitchen, serves your table, and leaves it clean.
A private chef in Boston comes to your home, cooks a restaurant-level meal in your kitchen, serves it, and cleans up before leaving. In-home dinners in the Boston market generally run $85 to $200 per guest depending on the menu and the guest count, and weekly meal prep runs $300 to $500 per week. On Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard in season, expect the higher end and book further out.
Boston is Chefpost's newest market and chef onboarding is underway, so bookings here are arranged through our concierge rather than through the public chef search. Tell us the date, the neighborhood and the occasion and we will come back with chefs, menus and pricing. If you are a New England chef, you can apply to join the platform.
Two things worth separating: a private chef is not a caterer, and in this city it is often the more practical way to eat well.
Boston's problem is rarely the quality of the food, it is the logistics around it. The good rooms in the South End and the Seaport book out, parking is its own event, and a table has to be given back. A private chef removes all of it. They cook every course in your kitchen, plate it as it comes off the heat, and serve it when your guests are ready. Nobody drives, nobody waits, and the evening ends when you decide it does.
Chefpost is a marketplace of vetted personal chefs. Every chef is background-checked, food-safety verified, and rated by real clients, and each one publishes menus and pricing so you can see what a dinner costs before you commit. We run this way in eighteen markets across Florida, New York, New Jersey, Texas and Georgia, and Boston is the nineteenth. See how a private chef service works.
Four steps from first message to a clean kitchen. No cooking, no shopping, no cleanup for you.
Your date, Boston neighborhood, guest count, occasion, and any allergies or dietary needs.
Latin, Mediterranean, Italian, omakase, plant-based, seafood, or a fully custom tasting menu.
We surface vetted Boston chefs who fit your menu, headcount, and budget, each with real reviews.
Your chef shops, cooks in your kitchen, plates every course, serves, and leaves it spotless.
The formats we are building the Boston roster around. Every menu is planned with you, around the season and the coast.
Back Bay, Beacon Hill, the South End, the Seaport, Cambridge, Brookline, Newton. A plated multi-course dinner for four to twelve, cooked and served in your kitchen and dining room, with the cleanup handled.
A chef cooks several days of meals in your kitchen and leaves them portioned and labeled. The most-booked service in every Chefpost market, and the one that turns into a standing weekly slot. Around $300 to $500 per week. See how meal prep works.
The summer rental with a kitchen you did not plan to cook in. A chef shops the local markets and the fish piers, cooks at the house, and serves on the deck. Island weekends in July and August book out early, so ask well ahead.
Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, holiday tables, and the dinners that come with a Boston fall. A chef handles the menu, the service and the kitchen so the host gets to sit down.
An honest note on how a Chefpost market opens.
“Boston reached us before we reached Boston. The requests came in on their own, from people who wanted a chef at home and could not find a straightforward way to book one. That is usually the signal that a market is ready. We would rather open it properly, with chefs we have actually vetted, than switch on a page and hope. So the roster is being built now, and until it is, a person answers every Boston request.”
Boston pricing sits with the other premium metros we serve. In-home dinners generally run $85 to $200 per guest, with the exact number set by the menu, the course count and how many people are at the table. A dinner party of ten typically lands around $1,200 to $2,200. Weekly meal prep runs $300 to $500 per week depending on how many meals and how many people you are feeding.
Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard price higher through the summer, the same way the Hamptons do, because the season is short, the logistics are harder and the good chefs are booked. Off-season on the Cape is the value window most people miss.
Every quote covers the menu planning, the cooking and the kitchen cleanup. Whether the groceries are included depends on the service selected, and the chef's listing says which before you book. For the full national breakdown, see how much a private chef costs.
The neighborhoods and towns the Boston roster is being built to cover. If you are outside this list, ask anyway, because coverage moves as chefs come on.
