At CHEFIN, we believe that high-quality ingredients are the key to delivering exceptional dining experiences. Our process for selecting premium ingredients is carefully curated to ensure that every dish is made with the finest ingredients available.

We source our ingredients from trusted suppliers and networks of local farmers who follow sustainable farming practices. Our chefs also have access to a network of artisanal producers and boutique suppliers, allowing them to select the highest quality ingredients that meet our rigorous standards.

When selecting our ingredients, we apply a process with three important pillars: Health, Environment, and Social Impact. This means that we prioritize ingredients that are healthy, ethically sourced, and environmentally sustainable.

To ensure that our ingredients are healthy, we prioritize whole foods that are rich in nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. We also carefully screen our ingredients to ensure that they are free from harmful chemicals, preservatives, and additives.

We take several steps to minimize environmental impact in our ingredient selection process. For example, we prioritize locally grown and seasonal produce, reducing the carbon footprint associated with transportation. We also select ingredients that are produced using sustainable farming practices, which help to reduce the environmental impact of food production.

In addition, we work with suppliers who prioritize social impact in their production processes. This means that we source ingredients from farmers who pay fair wages, use ethical labor practices, and prioritize the health and safety of their workers.

Our commitment to using high-quality ingredients has earned us a reputation as one of the top private chef services in Australia. We believe that every dish we serve should be made with the finest ingredients, so you can enjoy an exceptional dining experience every time.

At CHEFIN, we prioritize the safety and security of our clients and their guests. That’s why we take extra steps to ensure that our private chefs follow strict food safety guidelines. We conduct a thorough screening process to ensure that each chef has a valid Food Safety Supervisor (FSS) certificate and complies with local food safety regulations.

We also require all our chefs to follow a strict hygiene protocol and use high-quality ingredients to minimize any potential risk of contamination. Our chefs are trained to handle food properly and safely to avoid any foodborne illnesses or allergies.

When it comes to payment, we use a trust account to hold your payment until after the event. This means that your payment is held securely, and only released to the chef after the event is completed. The trust account ensures that your payment is safe and secure, and protects you from any potential fraud or scams.

In the unlikely event of an accident during the event, CHEFIN holds a $20 million public liability insurance to protect both the client and the chef. This insurance policy covers any potential damages or injuries that may occur during the event.

We understand that safety and security are essential for our clients. If you have any specific safety requirements or concerns, please let us know, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs. We are more than happy to provide you with proof of insurance and safety certifications upon request to give you peace of mind.

At CHEFIN, we believe that safe and secure dining experiences are essential to our clients’ satisfaction. That’s why we take every precaution necessary to ensure the safety and security of our clients and their guests.

You may have gazed through our menu offerings and wondered whether it’s possible to devise your own menu? Of course, you can! The whole fun of hiring your own private chef for an event is having a say in what you’d like to eat. Our team of private chefs are all extremely skilled and able to cook for everyone and every diet.

We’ll be honest, chefs are passionate about what they do. They live, eat, and breathe food. And for that reason, they absolutely love to design their own menus. The best thing to do would give your private chef an idea of what you’re after, and have them dream up the perfect menu to tantalise your taste buds.

If you’d rather have more of a say, then they’ll be happy to accept your own menu suggestions and ideas. Just remember, they are experts at what they do, so if they advise you against something, it might be for a good reason! If you have any particular menu ideas or suggestions, then please share them with the CHEFIN support team during the booking process, or with your chef after booking is complete.

If you’re unsure of your guests’ dietary requirements at the time of booking, don’t worry! You will have plenty of opportunity throughout the event organising process to gather this information from your guests. Once you have been made aware of any dietary requirements, then you can notify a member of the CHEFIN support team, as well as your assigned chef.

Our chefs will consult with CHEFIN’s extensive library of dietary requirements and substitutions, and create a menu that will satisfy the tastes of you and all your guests. If a guest forgets to mention their special dietary requirements, the chef will still be available on the day of the event, preparing the food. You can make your request then and there.

Our chefs are here to cook for everyone. Your food menu can be customised with your chef once a booking has been made, and you can make all necessary alterations.

The fun of hiring a private chef means you can sit back and relax until the moment the food is served! When you hire a chef with CHEFIN, we’ll take care of everything, and that includes sourcing fresh food and ingredients.

When you eat with us, you’re eating fresh, local food that’s cooked passionately and expertly!

We understand the importance of knowing where your ingredients have been sourced. Fresh, good quality ingredients create the best meals, and an exquisite menu won’t bring much joy if the ingredients used are subpar.

It’s always sad to hear that a party is being cancelled, but we know that things don’t always go according to plan! If you wish to change or cancel your culinary food experience or private chef hire, after you have already submitted your booking and processed payment, then the best thing to do is immediately get in touch with our Customer Care Support team.

You can do this via email at hello@chefin.com.au, or by mobile on 0477 666 351. Our Customer Care team will take you through the necessary steps to either change or cancel your booking, with much sadness of course!

If you don’t already have a venue in mind for your event, we can help you search for the best possible venue to suit your requirements. Whether that’s a corporate event, a family gathering, a wedding, a workshop, or a client meeting, we’ve got you.

We have an exhaustive listing of venues that we’ve tried, tested, and have proven to be popular amongst our guests. From a sunny rooftop to a whisky lounge and a large communal dining hall, there’s a venue to suit any event and requirements.

If you think you’ll need help finding a venue for your event, then just let us know when you make your initial booking through our community. We’ll take in your needs and what you’re going for, and pick out which venues we think will best serve you. Too easy!

Have no fear, we can still get a chef to you! The whole point of CHEFIN is to make good, talented chefs accessible to everyone, everywhere, and that includes people living outside of metropolitan areas.

If we cannot find a suitable chef within your local area, we can send one your way from a nearby capital city location. Nobody should go without good food at an event, and we’ll do what we can to make sure your chef (and feast) can make the party!

Of course, we’ll have to charge a small fee to cover the travel costs for the chef and required staff. That’ll depend on where exactly your event will be – the fee will depend on the distance required to travel. The costs will be covered as such:
$0/no fee for distances within 25km of a capital city CBD,
$95 for distances between 25-50km of a capital city CBD,
+ $95 for every $25km further away.

Sorry, solo diners, but we ask that you only book a private chef for a minimum of two guests. Does that include you and a teddy bear? Sure. When it comes to a maximum, we do try to keep it to 100 guests per private chef. Otherwise, you start to compromise on the quality of each dish, and nobody wants that!

If you are making a large booking for more than 12 guests, we do ask that you first enquire with us beforehand. This will just be an opportunity for us to discuss all the fine details of your event, your requirements, necessities, and plans, and make sure that it’s something we can definitely work with. Our primary goal here at CHEFIN is to help you pull off an unforgettable event, and that means planning!

Every single one of our team is just as talented, brilliant, and passionate as the other, and we can always find the perfect match for any menu and event.

We ask that you try to make all private chef bookings at least 24 hours prior to your event. This just helps give our chefs enough time to accept your booking and prepare the meal of your dreams.

That said, we know that sometimes you need a last-minute chef, and if you do need to book a chef for an event within 24 hours then please contact us directly on 0477 666 351. You’ll still get the meal of your dreams, but there’ll be a lot more hurry involved.

Talented chefs need good hosts, and budding hosts need good chefs to pull off a fantastic event. CHEFIN is a place where the two can find each other easily, where event plans can come alive, and unique experiences can be built. For too long, chefs have been restricted to the restaurant kitchen, and we want everyone to be able to savour in their cooking! Whether that’s a family, a team of colleagues, or a large event, the aim here at CHEFIN is to unite hosts & guests with chefs to create an unforgettable experience.
