Signature Menu, Weekly Meal Plan, or Custom Menu: Which Chef Coast Service Fits You?

Chef Coast offers three ways to book a private chef, and picking the right one comes down to the occasion. Here is a simple way to decide.

Signature menus: for a special night

Each chef's signature menus are set, multi course experiences built around their specialty, ideal for birthdays, anniversaries and dinner parties where you want the chef to lead. They are priced by guest count, and the per person rate drops as your group gets bigger.

Choose this if: you want a memorable night and are happy to trust the chef's menu.

Weekly meal plans: for a busy household

3 day, 5 day and 5 day premium plans deliver a full week of chef prepared lunches and dinners, perfect for busy families, new parents, or anyone who wants restaurant quality food on tap without the daily cooking. Plans are priced per person and are cheaper per head for larger households.

Choose this if: you want healthy, fresh meals every week without planning, shopping or cooking.

Custom menus: for total flexibility

Cannot decide, or planning a larger event? A custom menu is built from scratch around your guest count, budget and taste, blending dishes from across a chef's repertoire or creating something new entirely. Larger events and special requests usually start here.

Choose this if: you have a big guest list, specific dietary needs or a very clear idea of what you want.

Quick decision guide

• Birthday or anniversary dinner for 2 to 12: signature menu

• Family that wants healthy meals all week: weekly meal plan

• Christmas, a party or a corporate dinner: custom menu

• Following a nutrition plan: weekly meals combined with our Nutritionist Program

What is the same for all three

Whichever option you choose, your chef shops for your booking, cooks in your kitchen and cleans up afterwards. Every menu can be adjusted for allergies and preferences, and a flat $150 deposit secures your date.
