Chef Billy treated these food snobs to a culinary experience. The gourmet meal was well thought out and professionally done. We were very pleased with the entire product (food, service and the luxury of our own home). Job well done!!!

Extraordinary Experience!!

We had a work retreat where we rented a huge house for a couple days and had Chef Billy come prepare our opening night feast for us. Most went with the surf and turf which was fabulous!! We started with appetizers that were a-maz-ing, followed by a salad and finished up with eclairs for desert!! We couldn’t have asked for anything better. Chef and his helper were professional, prompt, and had everything covered and on time. They were so pleasant to chat with and saw to our every detail. Probably the most repeated comment from EVERYONE was how much the enjoyed spending the first night at the house, visiting with each other, and enjoying someone to come in and cook for us. That is their first choice for next year!! Accolades to Chef Billy for a wonderful meal.

Incredible!

Chef Billy did an incredible job for our dinner. He accommodated an additional request and all the food was so good. Some of the best we have had. His passion and the history of his roots in cooking from his grandmothers influence to his whole family truly show he has made the right career choice. We would highly recommend him for any special occasion or family dinner.

About

Chef Billy

My name is Billy, and I am a cook and pastry chef specializing in the creation of custom-built meal plans for individuals, families, and for small-scale events and gatherings of all kinds. As a personal/private chef and caterer, one with 25+ years experience in many facets of the food service and hospitality industries, I have built out a unique model, in that I am happy to work with my clients to create custom meals of their choice, prepared on-site in their vacation rental property or home kitchens, or made available for delivery (prepackaged in easy-to-reheat containers). As part of this, I handle all of the purchasing of food products, food preparation, meal setting, and clean up. It’s like bringing the restaurant or the pastry shop straight to the front door of my clientele.

How to Hire a Private Chef for Your Event

Pick a place, date, and time.
Select your chef and menu. (Each chef offers different menus which are fully a la carte. Simply choose the dishes you want for your occasion.)
Add details like the number of guests and any special instructions.
Pay for your reservation. Make any changes or even cancel up to a week before your event for a refund.

After you’ve made a reservation, the private chef you’ve hired will reach out within 48 hours to confirm the details and coordinate their arrival.
If you’ve added any special dietary restrictions or event instructions, they’ll work with you to implement those.

Your chef will arrive with everything they need, including ingredients, cooking equipment, and cleaning supplies. All you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the day with your guests.
The cleanup is included too! Hire a private chef with us and know that we’ll likely leave your kitchen cleaner than when you gave it to us.

Our Top FAQs

1. Can I customize the menu?

Absolutely! All our menus are fully a la carte. Once you’ve decided on a chef, you’ll see a list of all the dishes they offer and you can choose the ones you’d like for your event.

2. How is your service priced?

You pay a fixed price per guest based on your menu, plus a small, all-inclusive booking fee to our platform. You’ll be able to see exactly what you’re paying when you make a booking. No hidden costs, ever.

3. How many guests can I invite?

As many as you like! Although for events with over 30 people, we ask that you reach out to us to make an event inquiry.

4. My group has multiple dietary restrictions

That’s absolutely fine! When finalizing your menu, please mention these under ‘Special Instructions.’ For instance, you can specify that you’d like to accommodate one vegan guest and one gluten-free guest for your at-home catering and your private chef will prepare suitable dish variants for those guests.

5. Can I make changes to the menu or guest list?

Yes! You can make any changes to your booking. You can even cancel it up to a week before your event, and you’ll receive a refund.

6. Is my event insured?

Yes, it is. Our service includes full insurance for your private chef in case of any mishaps.

7. How are the Chefs chosen?

Each chef is fully vetted. We require at minimum one year of sous chef experience. Your chef has gone through an FCRA compliant background check and multiple interviews before joining our platform.

8. What is FFKs cancellation and refund policy?

We take pre-payment to secure your chef and simplify our service. No fumbling with payments after your event or dealing with multiple payments in different stages of the process. Much like our service, our return policy is simple and meant to protect you, our hosts and our amazing Chefs.

One week or more before your event we guarantee your refund.
During the week of your event we offer a 50% refund.
We will not be able to refund within 48 hours of your event. At this point your chef has not been available for other parties and has already planned for your event. *Please note all refunds are less processing and booking fees
