How Private Chef Hire Works
1. Share Your Plans
Begin by telling us about your occasion, location, guest numbers, preferred style of dining and any dietary requirements. This initial conversation gives the Harper Privé team a clear understanding of your event and the experience you would like to create.
2. Develop Your Menu
A bespoke menu is shaped around your preferences, the season and the style of your occasion. Dietary requirements and menu preferences are considered throughout the planning process so the team can confirm what can be accommodated.
3. Prepare for Your Event
The details of your event are carefully coordinated ahead of the day. The most suitable chef is selected according to the cuisine, style of dining and requirements of your guests, ensuring they arrive fully briefed for the occasion.
4. Enjoy the Occasion
On the day, your chef prepares the menu in your home or chosen venue, with each course cooked and presented at a considered pace. This allows you to relax with your guests while the dining experience unfolds around the occasion. Following the final course, the kitchen is left clean and tidy.
