RECRUITMENT SPECIALISTS | EST 1999

How We Work

  • Get in Touch

    We would love to hear from you.

    Reach out via email or call Caroline directly for a personal conversation.

    Our contact page has all our details, and we would be more than happy to call you back at a convenient time.

  • Understanding Your Needs

    Over a phone call or Zoom, Caroline will ask a few key questions to understand exactly what you’re looking for.

    These may include: Number of Guests, Dates & Duration, Location & kitchen setup, Dietary needs or allergies, Children to be catered for, Food styles you love (& anything to avoid).

  • Confirming the Brief

    Caroline will ask you to confirm your requirements in writing. Once received, she’ll send her Terms & Conditions and begin the search for your ideal private chef.

  • Chef Introduction

    Within 48 hours, Caroline will introduce you to a carefully chosen private chef by email. You’ll be able to arrange a chat to ensure it’s the right fit. 

    If you're happy, the chef will take it from there. They will be planning menus and prepping behind the scenes.

    If not, Caroline will continue the search (though her instinct for matching chefs to households is rarely wrong).

  • Payment

    Two weeks before the booking, you’ll receive an invoice for our finder’s fee.

    You will then pay the chef directly for their work and for food.

  • Feedback

    After your event, Caroline would love to hear your feedback — she’s always keen to know how everything went.

    I pride myself on being reliable and responsive and want to ensure that service you receive is no less than perfect.

"A million thanks for getting us organised with Melissa – she was really fab and made the holiday for me (I’m not going to go on holiday again without a cook!). It was just great".
