Are dietary requirements catered for?

Yes, every menu can be adjusted for allergies, intolerances and preferences when you book. That includes gluten free, dairy free and vegan requests.

Does the chef bring the ingredients?

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Bookings are confirmed manually and a $150 deposit secures your date. Reach out as early as possible if your plans change.

Which suburbs does Chef Coast cover?

What is included in the price?

Every booking includes the chef's grocery shopping, all cooking done in your kitchen, plating and serving, and full clean up afterward. There is no separate call out fee. See our price guide for typical costs.

Can a nutritionist plan my meals and a chef cook them?

Yes. In the Chef Coast Nutritionist Program, a certified nutritionist builds your plan and your chef cooks it at home. Read how a nutritionist and private chef work together.
