Amazing

Chef Robert was amazing! Best chicken parm I’ve ever had. Worth every single penny.

Robert prepared a fantastic meal at our rental property in Palmetto Bluff. Everything was delicious. Robert was a delight and took extremely good care of our 11 guests. It was nice to be able to gather and enjoy the company of friends “at home” while not having to lift a finger to prepare dinner. I highly recommend Robert, you won’t be disappointed.

Wonderful experience for all

Chef Robert Pierce was the highlight of my wife’s birthday on Jacksonville Beach. His food was EXCELLENT, and his warm demeanor and dedication to our satisfaction enhanced the overall dining experience. He served 16 people with great ease and provided us a surf and turf meal that consisted of filets and scallops as well as other outstanding items. We are so happy with our “in house” chef and look forward to having Chef Robert take care of us again some day. Thank you Robert and thank you Food Fire + Knives.

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.

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.
