FAQS ABOUT PRIVATE CHEFS in Philadelphia
How much does a private chef in Philadelphia cost?
The cost of a private chef for a dinner party depends on your final guest count and the type of culinary experience you select. Prices typically start at $59 per person and can go beyond $100, depending on the menu and number of courses. Each dining experience displays the price per person, and once you enter your group size, the total cost will adjust accordingly. Local sales tax is included in the final price. Please note that special requests, menu modifications, and wine pairings will influence the total cost. If you need assistance booking an in-home chef for a dinner party, please contact our concierge team.
What is included when you hire a chef for the night?
When you hire a chef for dinner, you can relax and enjoy the event as much as your guests. Your personal chef will take care of everything, from sourcing the finest ingredients to cleaning up afterward, ensuring a seamless, stress-free culinary experience. All dishes are prepared on-site, guaranteeing the freshest flavors and beautifully plated presentations, whether it’s an elegant sit-down meal or a relaxed buffet. If your menu requires specialty equipment, like a hibachi grill or bamboo sushi mats, your chef will provide it. Hire a chef for the night and sit back and savor the experience, knowing every detail is expertly handled.
What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?
Private chef experiences offer fully customizable menus based on your event, location, and season. While classics like Italian, Asian, and surf and turf are always popular, Philly chefs will work with you to create a menu that suits your style, whether it’s a cozy French meal in winter or a plant-based spread in summer. Throwing a casual watch party to cheer on the Eagles? Your in-home chef can prepare Philly favorites like hoagies, soft pretzels, and cheesesteaks (with or without Cheez Whiz) that rival Pat’s. Hosting a more formal affair? Your chef will prepare a five-star feast from caviar to chocolate soufflé, all while keeping the Veuve Clicquot flowing.
How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?
It's as simple to hire a chef as it is to enjoy water ice on a hot summer day. Browse through the hand-picked selection of culinary experiences in your area and choose the one that best suits your event. Pick your date, time, and guest count, and voilà, the hard part is over. Once your reservation is confirmed, your personal chef will reach out to fine-tune the menu and ensure every detail is to your liking. Please contact our helpful concierge team to rent a chef if you need any assistance with finding a date or have special requests.
How much should I tip my private chef?
When you book a private chef for a dinner party, leaving a gratuity is entirely optional and at your discretion. However, if you’d like to show your appreciation for the chef’s exceptional service, friendly manner, and mouthwatering dishes, like their seared rib-eye and homemade cannoli, a tip of 10% to 25% of the total cost is suggested as a thoughtful gesture.
Where do the experiences take place?
From the Main Line to Downtown, when you hire an in-home chef for a dinner party, they create a bespoke dining experience wherever you are. Whether you’re craving traditional Japanese sushi-making in Rittenhouse Square, indulging in homemade cavatelli in South Philly, or enjoying wagyu beef and lobster tails in Ardmore, when you book chefs to cook at your home it’s a customized culinary experience. Hosting a romantic fireside dinner for two? Or a milestone birthday bash under the stars? Whatever the occasion or size of your party, you can expect a gourmet meal prepared with the freshest ingredients and exceptional service.
