What is a private household chef responsible for?
Private household chefs typically prepare lunch & dinner for the principals. Breakfast is sometimes also prepared, however to control chef hours, many private households will have a simple breakfast prepared by the butler or housekeeper.
This varies from household to household, so we'd suggest clearly stating your requirements from the role upfront.
Staff food might also be prepared by the chef if agreed with the principals & chef in advance, we would suggest discussing the requirements for this in advance to avoid any unneccassary confusion.
