Prices start at £44 ($59) per person and can exceed £75 ($100) for luxury experiences, high-end tasting menus or wine pairings. Child-friendly options may be available upon request. Once you select your preferred experience and enter the guest count, the total cost (including VAT) is displayed. Special requests or menu adjustments may influence the final price. Whether you’re planning an intimate dinner or a birthday celebration, Cozymeal’s concierge team is ready to help you hire a chef for dinner near you.
What is included when you hire a chef for the night?
Transform your next event into a stress-free celebration that’s tailored just for you with a private chef experience in The Big Smoke.

What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?
Seasonality fluctuates demand for specific cuisines, but Italian, Asian and modern British fare are always popular. When you book an in-home chef for a dinner party, London chefs prepare a multi-course meal personalized to your tastes and event. From the refined Italian dishes served at Circolo Popolare London to the steak tartar and tuna crudo at One Club Row, your private chef experience can find inspiration from memorable meals. Whether you're hosting a chic dinner party with hand-rolled sushi in Soho, an intimate gathering with British pub food in Covent Garden or a luxury menu with whole lobster tagliatelle in Knightsbridge, your chef will create a gourmet experience using only the finest ingredients.
How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?

How much should I tip my private chef?
When you rent a chef through Cozymeal, you’re guaranteed transparent, upfront pricing that includes everything from food shopping to cleaning up. Tipping your private chef is optional but appreciated, just as you might do after a memorable meal at The Ledbury or The Harwood Arms. A tip of 10% to 25% is a generous way to acknowledge your chef’s incredible talent and impeccable service. Whether you’ve enjoyed classic British dishes like Beef Wellington, delicate fish and chips or an indulgent sticky toffee pudding, leaving a gratuity is a meaningful way to show gratitude for an extraordinary culinary experience that you won’t forget.
Where do the experiences take place?
From a Shoreditch flat to a garden terrace in Covent Garden or a historic townhouse in Notting Hill, when you hire chefs to cook at your home, they prepare restaurant-quality dishes wherever you want to celebrate your special occasion. As long as there’s access to a clean, fully equipped kitchen, top-tier chefs will travel to you.
