A private chef comes to your home and runs the whole meal end to end. They plan the menu with you, do the food shopping, arrive with their kit, cook in your kitchen, serve each course, and clean down before they leave. You get restaurant-standard food at your own table without booking a table, driving anywhere, or doing any of the work. On CaterKin you see the chef's set menus and the price per head before you book, so there are no surprises.
People book private chefs in Ireland for all sorts of occasions: dinner parties with friends, milestone birthdays, anniversaries, family gatherings, Christmas and festive meals, and corporate dinners or team lunches. Plenty of bookings are simpler than that too, like weekly meal prep or batch cooking where a chef fills your fridge and freezer for the week ahead. Some chefs do one-off special occasions, others happily take recurring slots, and you can see what each one offers on their listing.
Typical Irish market rates run from about €55 to €120 per person, depending on the size of your group and the number of courses. Each chef sets their own price. Smaller groups cost more per head because the chef's time and travel are spread across fewer people, so a dinner for two sits at the higher end and a party of ten or twelve usually works out cheaper per person. The price you see on the listing is the price you pay, with the chef keeping 85% of it.
