What to Expect from a Personal Chef
When you hire a personal chef through Perfect Household Staff, you receive more than just a cook—you enjoy the talents of a culinary artist with a minimum of three years' experience in high-end restaurants or private homes. Many are Michelin-trained and transitioning to exclusive private service, making them ideal for your home dining needs.
While formal culinary training is not a requirement, our chefs demonstrate passion, creativity, and a professional background in food preparation. Whether you're looking to hire a personal chef for a dinner party or a long-term placement, we offer the most experienced professionals for our popular fine dining at home service.
Chefs collaborate with you to create bespoke menus, shop for premium ingredients, and prepare elegant meals. Although most personal chefs tidy up after themselves, we also offer service staff for a complete, hands-off experience.
What is the Cost of Hiring a Personal Chef?
Hiring a professional personal chef for a special occasion starts at £200 per day, with an additional agency fee of £100 + VAT. Rates may vary based on the chef’s experience, your location, and service type (e.g., single event vs. ongoing support).
