What our customers say

Brilliant from start to finish. Dinner for 9 of us was wonderful and the whole process was smooth. Max & Joe also very responsive and great to deal with.

Kate, South Cerney

Incredible experience with Yuzu Private Dining. I reached out to several private dining companies, but Yuzu stood out thanks to their flexibility, creative options, and helpful advice.  The food was amazing, and he even prepared extra surprises, which made the experience feel truly exceptional. 


I 100000% recommend Yuzu. Such a professional team. If and when we need a private chef again, we will definitely be reaching out!

Evelyn, Norfolk

Yuzu provided a private chef for my wife’s 60th. He was unreal. The food was sublime and he was a proper pro. Definitely would recommend.

Bill, Cotswolds

We had chef Joe and gabby to our friends 50th for a 3 course meal. 


They were prompt, communication was great and the food was excellent, we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Joe even worked around us doing a murder mystery dinner timing the courses accordingly. 


We would have no hesitation in recommending yuzu private dining in future and would use them again.

Julie, Sheepscombe

Thankyou - a great job our Boatrace party was a great success and food excellent

FAQs

Can I hire a Private Chef for Christmas Day?

Christmas Day is one of the most popular days to hire a private chef. That said, most chefs will be looking for a premium on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day & Boxing Day and may be booked up many months in advance.

Are plates & cutlery included?

We don't include plates & cutlery as standard. We're able to organise plate & crockery hire for an additional charge.

Will I have to pay a deposit?

We take a 12.5% deposit to cover the cost of the materials and to ensure the dates are blocked off from any other conflicting bookings. This deposit is refundable if cancelled 14 days before the booking date, otherwise this will be retained due to loss of other business.

Isn't hiring a private chef expensive?

Hiring a private chef can be more economical than going out for a medium sized group from 8-20 in our experience, as there are less overhead costs and minimal staff & equipment compared to a restaurant. Smaller groups can be less economical but can be a good way to enjoy an exclusive use venue without any time constraints or restrictions.

Can I book at an AirBNB?

Yes absolutely! In fact, around 50% of our business to date is hosted at an AirBNB or self catered accommodation.

What happens if the chef cancels?

At Yuzu Private Dining we only work with a small group of chefs unlike some of the larger booking platforms. This means we only commit to a booking we know we can fulfil and once committed we will endeavour to fulfil your booking. In case of any unusual circumstances that prevent this, we will offer a full refund & help you find a suitable replacement.

Do you charge additional transport costs?

We charge additional transport costs at £0.45 per mile for bookings further than 40 miles from the chef's location. For bookings closer than this, we will price it into our estimates.

Do you do background checks?

All of our chefs are subject to a DBS check as a standard condition of accepting a booking through us.

Who will clean up?

Hiring a private chef means you are free to enjoy your evening as they will keep your kitchen clean & tidy as they work. This means you can have a night off doing the washing up and relax and enjoy yourself.
