Private chefs in Limerick

Four private chefs can reach Limerick today, with packages priced from €50 to €110 a head and a typical price of about €88. None of them is based in the city. They travel from Cork, Killarney, Galway and Oughterard, usually 75 to 90 km, so this page suits a planned dinner better than a last-minute one.

The menus are Modern European built around Irish produce, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking, a Killarney chef whose menus run from comfort food to fine dining at home, and a Galway chef who handles preparation, service and the final clean. Minimum orders run from €50 to €500, and tables range from a single guest to 50 or 100, so check the listing for the one that matches your numbers.

Because the chef is making a longer journey, message first. Give the date, the number of guests, your address or nearest town and any allergies, and the chef can confirm whether the trip works and whether the menu should be adjusted. Chefs in this range suit a dinner party at home, a birthday, a family weekend in a rented house, or a small celebration where you would rather not book a restaurant.

On the day the chef shops, cooks in your kitchen, serves each course and clears up. You provide the table and the guests. Every package shows a price per person, so the total is clear before you book. Enquiring is free and needs no card.

Your card is only charged once the chef accepts the booking, and the cancellation terms are shown before you pay. Because every chef on this page travels, a booking made a week or two ahead gives the most room for shopping and the journey. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free menus are normal requests, but flag any serious allergy in your first message so the chef can confirm the menu is safe to cook.
