A private chef in Kilkenny arrives at your home or venue with the ingredients bought fresh, cooks a multi-course menu to order in your kitchen, plates and serves each course, and leaves the kitchen as clean as they found it. They cover dinner parties, big birthdays and anniversaries, christenings and communions, family gatherings over Christmas, and small corporate dinners across the city and county. Menus run the full range Kilkenny diners actually want: modern Irish built on local produce, classic French, Italian, Indian, Middle Eastern and contemporary tasting menus, all adaptable for vegetarian, vegan, coeliac and other dietary or allergen needs you flag when booking. Pricing is set by each host and reflects typical Kilkenny rates: for an intimate dinner for two expect roughly €90 to €100 per person, smaller groups of three to six tend to land around €65 to €75 per person, and larger tables of seven or more usually come in lower per head, with the live from-price shown on every listing card. If you find a chef you love, you can rebook them directly for a repeat dinner, a recurring monthly supper club or ongoing weekly meal prep. Every host on CaterKin is verified, hosts keep 85 percent of what they charge, and your payment is held securely by Stripe and only released to the chef after your event.
