at your home.
Chef & Chief comes to cook at your home and takes care of your guests
from aperitif to last glass.
Personal, flavourful and worry-free.
Private dining
“From aperitif to last glass. You host, we take care of the rest.”
We bring everything with us: fresh quality ingredients, prepared mise en place, kitchen equipment, experienced kitchen and service staff, and everything needed to treat you and your guests to a refined culinary experience.
You host with ease, a glass in hand. We cook, serve and clean up. At the end of the evening, we leave your kitchen as tidy as we found it.
Selected for flavour, origin and season. We bring everything with us. You do not have to organise or prepare anything.
Most of the work happens beforehand in our kitchen. At your home, we finish, plate and serve smoothly and without chaos.
Chloë and Dax cook themselves. For larger groups, we strengthen the team with fixed, experienced kitchen and service people.
Service through clean-up is included. After the last guest, we leave your kitchen exactly as we found it. Sometimes even better.
How it works
Booking a private chef in Belgium should not be complicated. We designed a simple, quick and transparent process — from your first request to the moment we leave your kitchen, tidier than we found it.
How many guests? What kind of event? Open kitchen? Allergies? A budget in mind? A simple conversation, by phone or email.
Within 48 hours, you receive a complete proposal: detailed menu, drink suggestions, transparent quote, and service plan. Everything is adjustable.
On the day, the team arrives with ingredients, mise en place and equipment. Chloë and Dax cook in your open kitchen. Service is handled by our fixed, experienced team.
From aperitif to last glass, your guests experience a real restaurant at your table. At the end, we clean up. Your kitchen is tidy. You keep the memories.
For which events
Chef & Chief steps in for every moment you want to host like in a restaurant — without renting a venue, without complicated logistics, and without facing a kitchen after your guests leave.
From 14 to 60 guests, at home or in a private venue. A tailored menu, from service to clean-up.
Civil weddings, symbolic ceremonies, post-ceremony dinners. We adapt to atypical venues: gardens, lofts, family castles, boats.
Client evenings, board dinners, off-site seminars. Discretion, punctuality and gastronomic quality serving your brand.
Our most requested period. Reservation 6 months ahead recommended. Festive multi-course menus.
Different format: for couples, we offer a private tasting menu. Refined service, romantic atmosphere, you stay alone at the table.
To free the host from the kitchen marathon. Traditional menus reimagined or fully custom. Maximum 4 Christmas bookings per year to preserve quality.

FAQ
Our private chef format starts from 14 guests. Below that, we offer a tasting format for 2 (Valentine's, intimate birthdays). No strict maximum: we regularly serve 60+ guests by expanding the kitchen and service team.
A standard kitchen is enough: oven, hob, sink, and some counter space. Most of the mise en place is done in advance in our professional kitchen. For atypical venues (gardens, lofts, castles), we bring our own mobile equipment.
We ask about all dietary requirements from the first conversation: allergies, intolerances, diets (vegetarian, vegan, kosher, halal, gluten-free, dairy-free). The menu is adapted accordingly, in most cases with no supplement.
Ideally 4 to 8 weeks ahead. For New Year's Eve, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and high wedding season (May-September), we recommend 3 to 6 months. For last-minute requests, contact us — we sometimes have open slots.
Everything: ingredients, advance mise en place, transport, equipment, on-site cooking, plating, service in the room (depending on format), and clean-up. Drinks are optional. Your only job: host your guests.
The deposit (30%) is paid on confirmation. For cancellations up to 14 days before the event, the deposit stays valid for rescheduling within 12 months. Beyond that, the deposit is retained. In force majeure cases (illness, bereavement), we always find a humane solution.
