Book a private chef in Galway

Book a private chef in Galway who cooks dinner in your own kitchen, from a Salthill apartment with a Prom view to a family home in Knocknacarra, Oranmore or Renmore. You see the menu, the real photos and the full price before you book, then pay securely online with no back and forth. Galway hosts cook for the occasions that matter here: a Race Week dinner party, a milestone birthday in the West End, an anniversary, or a slow Sunday feast after a walk along Salthill Prom. Many lean into the Atlantic seafood the county is known for, from Galway Bay oysters to fresh catch landed close to home.

A private chef brings the full restaurant experience to your table. They plan the menu with you, shop for fresh local ingredients, arrive with their own kit, cook course by course in your kitchen, serve at the table, and clean down before they leave so you wake up to a tidy room. Galway hosts cover dinner parties, birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, Christmas Day and festive meals, family gatherings, and small corporate dinners, with styles ranging from Atlantic seafood and modern Irish to Italian, Indian, tasting menus and relaxed sharing feasts. Typical local rates run about €90–100 per person for an intimate dinner for two, around €65–75 per person for a group of three to six, and roughly €55–60 per person once you reach seven to twelve guests, with larger parties from €55 per person. Each host sets their own price, and the live from-price always shows on the listing card. If you love a chef, you can book them again for a standing monthly supper club, a weekly meal-prep run, or the next big occasion. Every host on CaterKin is verified, menus carry real photos, and reviews come only from guests who actually booked, so you know what you are getting before you commit. Payments run securely through Stripe and are held until after your event. You keep control too: hosts earn 85% of the booking total, you can amend or add extras up to 24 hours before the date, and cancelling 7 or more days ahead gets a full refund.
