Every Your Private Chef booking is built from a blank page. We do not recycle set menus — we ask about your guests, your venue, the kind of night you want, and we design the food around that. Fourteen years operating from our Caulfield kitchen, over two thousand catering events served across Melbourne, full public liability and food safety compliance, 400+ verified customer reviews. Trusted regularly with Melbourne corporate end-of-year functions, office Christmas parties, partner appreciation dinners, team celebrations, and milestone year-end events.
Because our chefs stay in the kitchen rather than being shipped to events one at a time, we hold a consistent five-star standard at every booking and pass the efficiency back to you in honest pricing. You are not paying for chef travel time and downtime. You are paying for great food, properly delivered.
Your Private Chef delivers across the City of Melbourne and the surrounding metro area — from the CBD and Southbank through to Caulfield (our kitchen base), South Yarra, Toorak, Brighton, Hawthorn, Carlton, Fitzroy, Richmond, Docklands, and most established Melbourne suburbs. For events further out — Mornington Peninsula, Yarra Valley, the Dandenongs — call us on 0497 333 100 for a tailored delivery quote.
Melbourne is one of the world’s strongest food cities — see City of Melbourne, Visit Melbourne, Broadsheet, and Time Out Melbourne for the wider Melbourne food and culture scene, or Wikipedia for a broader profile of the city. Catering in a city this competitive means the bar is high — we have spent fourteen years meeting it, then raising it ourselves.
Your Private Chef is a top-rated Melbourne end-of-year caterer. Permanent Caulfield kitchen, 30-minute CBD hot-delivery radius, full festive menu range, dietary care across every plate. Trusted by Melbourne corporates through their busiest catering season.
Our dedicated team is available to talk from 8am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday. But but we can deliver by arrangement outside those hours.
We almost never have a chef on location. Our chefs create everything in our Caulfield kitchen and we bring it to you ready to enjoy — it is much more cost-effective for our clients than splitting chefs across multiple events. For larger events (typically 80+) we can arrange a styled table solution — buffet, BBQ, or grazing table — with a staff member available to set up and maintain.
We travel all over Melbourne to deliver catering from our Caulfield kitchen. Delivery fee is based on kilometres travelled (weekend deliveries may be a little more). Pickup is also available from our Caulfield kitchen — just click the pickup option at checkout.
Hot delivery is available for most menus, with the food timed to arrive just before you plan to eat. Buffet-style, meats, and large platters travel up to about 1 hour from our kitchen. Hot finger food (gyozas, spring rolls, party pies) needs to be within 20–30 minutes of our Caulfield kitchen. The only additional cost on hot delivery is the time-specific delivery fee. Cold delivery is the same high-quality food packed for easy reheating at the venue — better for events later at night, public holidays, or venues where hot logistics will not work.
Per-person pricing depends on the menu style and headcount.Delivery is a flat fee based on kilometres; equipment hire and extra service staff are quoted separately. All prices include GST.
Our shopping cart takes bookings up to midnight for next-day orders. For larger events, allow 1 week notice. For very urgent catering with less than a full day notice, we may be able to help with platters of sandwiches and fruit — call 0497 333 100.
Weekdays: from $40 + delivery fee. Saturday: from $150 + delivery fee. On Sundays our kitchen operates with a $400 minimum spend — see our Sunday Catering Ideas tab on the menu.
Yes — gluten-free (GF), dairy-free (DF), vegetarian (V), vegan, halal, nut-free, low-FODMAP, and kosher on request. The menu uses standard dietary symbols. You can also note dietary needs in the text box at checkout. We take cross-contamination care seriously but do not claim to be a celiac-friendly kitchen.
Default is a clean delivery service — eco-friendly disposable platters professionally presented, ready to serve. Three upgrades are available: VIP High-Rise Delivery (from $20) for delivery to your lobby or floor; Catering Setup (from $50) where our driver takes the catering to your eating area and lays out the platter boxes; full styled-table setup with chafing dishes, grazing styling, and service staff for events of 80+ guests, quoted per event subject to availability.
For most catering, no — our chefs cook in the kitchen and we deliver. For large events (typically 100+ guests) staff usually make sense. For mid-size events around 80 guests, table setup with a staff member is often the better fit.
Yes — recurring orders are available through the checkout portal, or call our office to set it up for you.
Our kitchen starts at 5am for corporate breakfast deliveries. Last weekday delivery is 5pm unless arranged by prior approval. Weekend cold deliveries wrap up by 3pm. Evening event deliveries are possible by prior approval. The office is staffed 9am to 5pm weekdays.
A private chef cooks individual events on demand — typically dinner parties, corporate dinners, celebrations. A personal chef tends to be an ongoing service.
