Private Chefs in Singapore

You can expect the cost of a private chef for a dinner party to lie somewhere between S$77 ($59) and over S$130 ($100) per person. However, this is just a guide. The actual price you’ll pay can vary based on a few factors. For example, chefs in Geylang may charge different rates to those in Tiong Bahru. What’s more, experience prices are tiered based on group size, and high-demand dates like the Chinese New Year also tend to command higher prices.

If you’ve hired an in-home chef for a dinner party and want to know how much to tip, the amount is entirely down to your discretion. Just know that you are under no obligation whatsoever to give on. When you hire a chef, their goal is to provide a delicious and memorable experience for you and your guests, regardless of whether or not there’s a tip on the table. Of course, we understand if you’d still like to give one. Doing so is a wonderful way to thank your host for an unforgettable evening. If you would like to tip, again, the amount is up to you, but if you’re unsure, we usually recommend between 10% and 25% of the total experience cost.

When you hire a chef for the night, the first thing they’ll ask is where you’d like the experience to take place. It could be at your home, in your vacation rental or at another hired venue. All that’s required for your chef to prepare your menu is a clean and functional kitchen in which to work. Provided that’s in place — and that the venue lies within their city location — they’ll gladly come to you, bringing with them all of the ingredients and equipment required to deliver an evening of relaxing culinary indulgence that your friends are bound to remember forever.
