FAQs
How much does a private chef in New Braunfels cost?
The cost of hiring a private chef for a dinner party depends on the experience you select, your group size and any customizations. Pricing is tiered to suit a range of events and budgets — from intimate dinners to larger celebrations. Pricing typically starts around $59 per person, going above $100 for premium menus or wine pairings. Discounted kids’ menus may be available on request. Once you choose your experience and input your guest count, the full price (including local sales tax) updates automatically. From riverside gatherings to hilltop dinners, Cozymeal’s concierge team is happy to help you hire a chef for dinner near you.
What is included when you hire a chef for the night?
Hiring a chef for the night transforms your home into the most exclusive dining destination in Unicorn City. Your in-home chef manages every detail, from food shopping and bringing specialty equipment to preparing, cooking and serving your guests. They even take care of the cleanup. Whether you’re planning a dinner party in Gruene or a backyard bash along the Guadalupe, every detail is covered. Expect a fully customized, multi-course meal crafted to your tastes using fresh, seasonal ingredients from local farms. From Tex-Mex favorites to elevated Hill Country cuisine, your chef makes it all happen so you can kick back with guests and savor the flavors of a stress-free, restaurant-quality experience in your home.
What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?
Guests love menus that reflect local flair, like elevated Tex-Mex, surf and turf, Texas-style barbecue and handmade Italian pastas. Globally inspired menus featuring authentic sushi, Japanese hibachi or Asian fusion are also popular. Inspired by nearby dining hotspots like Huisache Grill or McAdoo’s, each dish is cooked on-site for a one-of-a-kind gourmet experience. If you’re looking to go all out, luxury private chef experiences with Michelin-star-level courses — think wagyu, truffles or foie gras — are available with optional wine pairings by an expert sommelier. Whether your palate leans Southern or international, hiring an in-home chef for a dinner party means a culinary expert will design a menu just for you.
How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?

How much should I tip my private chef?
Renting a chef through Cozymeal means there are no hidden expenses. Tipping your private chef is never required but is always appreciated for a job well done. Like tipping at your local favorites like Huisache Grill and Alpine Haus Restaurant, it’s a kind gesture that shows the chef that you noticed their attention to detail, courteous service and creative plating. If you want to leave a gratuity, 10–25% of the total cost is a great way to thank your chef for crafting a delicious, personalized meal from scratch. Whether you’re enjoying pecan-crusted catfish, smoked brisket sliders or a gourmet six-course experience, your chef puts serious care into every detail — from plating to cleanup.
Where do the experiences take place?
Private chef experiences are designed to meet you where you are in Unicorn City. Chefs can cook in your home, Airbnb or a premium third-party venue, whether you’re hosting in Vintage Oaks, Southbank or near Landa Park. As long as there’s a clean, functional kitchen, New Braunfels chefs will bring everything needed to prepare and serve a full gourmet meal. They’ll handle all the cooking on-site and clean up so you can savor the meal and enjoy time with your guests. From casual patio parties with Texas-style barbecue to elegant multi-course steakhouse dinners, the best dining room in town is yours when chefs cook at your home.
