The benefits


Hiring a private chef means you can have a meal in the comfort of your own home, with a chef that comes to your house taking care of all the shopping, cooking & cleaning up after. This means everyone is free to enjoy the event without the burden falling onto any one person.


Not being able to relax would make the whole experience fairly redundant, so at Yuzu Private Dining, we ensure that all our chefs are properly vetted. That's why we've set out the following minimum requirements for all of our chefs to meet;


Our minimum requirements


  • A valid, clean DBS check

  • 5 years of Professional Chef experience
