How Chef Coast Works: Booking a Private Chef for Your Gold Coast Home

Booking a private chef sounds like it should be complicated. With Chef Coast, it is five steps.

1. Choose your chef and cuisine

Browse all seven chefs on the team page, from Italian and Japanese fusion to Brazilian BBQ, vegan fine dining, seafood and modern Australian.

2. Pick a signature menu, weekly plan, or go fully custom

Each chef offers a set signature menu, a multi day weekly meal plan, and a fully custom option built around your guest count and preferences. Not sure which one fits? Read our guide to choosing between the three.

3. Book online

Choose your date, guest numbers and any dietary notes at checkout. A flat $150 deposit secures the booking, and payments are processed securely in AUD.

4. Your chef shops and cooks in your kitchen

Your chef buys the ingredients fresh for your booking and cooks the entire menu in your own kitchen, adjusting dishes on the day for allergies or preferences.

5. Sit back and enjoy, cleanup included

Dinner is plated, served, and the kitchen is left as it was found. No shopping, no cooking, no washing up.

Questions people ask before booking

How many guests can I book for? It depends on the menu. Intimate tasting menus can start from 2 to 4 guests, while larger signature menus and custom events can scale up to 30 to 40 guests.

Can you cater for allergies and dietary needs? Yes. Every menu can be adjusted for allergies, intolerances and preferences when you book.

Where do you cook? Across the Gold Coast, from Coolangatta to Surfers Paradise and the hinterland, in homes and holiday accommodation.

What if my plans change? Reach out as early as possible. Cancellation terms are shown before you confirm your booking.
