FAQs

If you’ve never hired a personal chef for a private event such as a dinner party, you might have some questions about the process. Read our FAQs here.

  • A range of people enjoy my private chef services, including busy professional couples, time-poor families who wish to treat themselves, and people who want to host a special occasion and enjoy their guests.

  • Each menu and event is completely bespoke and quotations are provided on receipt of the client brief. Our traditional French menus start at £55.00 per person for a minimum of eight guests. French Chef at Home prices are inclusive of all ingredients and the chef’s time in your kitchen.

    We ask for £100 deposit in order to confirm and secure the booking. The full amount must be paid one week before the event.

  • French Chef at Home uses all fresh ingredients that are all sourced locally in Yorkshire, and are organic wherever possible. A selection of our ingredients are brought from France when we visit our home country. I would be delighted to discuss my ingredients with you in more detail when we create your menu.

  • Most clients prefer to use their own, but we can provide the above for small dinner parties. There is an extra charge for this service.

  • For three-course meals and more, it is likely that I will be creating various courses from scratch. This will take several hours in most cases, but we can make arrangements for this to fit with your schedule – for example, I can start cooking while you are at work.

  • Please have a clean kitchen and empty sink with room in your fridge and freezer, as well as a working space for French Chef at Home to work. Also make sure your oven and gas are working.

  • We will cater for a minimum of 8 people (or £440) up to 50 guests. As Yves cannot cook and serve, we are happy to book a professional waiter at an extra cost of £80 for the whole evening.

  • No, all of our menus are completely bespoke. The menus on the website are only a guide. We can tailor your menu to the tastes and preferences of you and your guests.

  • We take a £100 deposit from clients on receipt of their booking confirmation. The balance of the cost of the party is due one week before the party. Cancellations made up to a week before to the event will receive 50% of the deposit back. Cancellations later than a week before will not be refunded.
