Terms and Conditions

At Brett’s Bespoke Kitchen, I will do my best to fulfil your needs and meet your expectations, but it is important to have things written down to provide a clear understanding of my procedures.

Expectations from You, as the Client

To ensure your event is a success, you will need to provide details such as the event type, your preferences, dietary restrictions and any specific themes or requirements. This collaboration is key to a tailor-made experience.

What You Should Expect from Me

As your private chef, I am committed to delivering high-quality, bespoke culinary services. From personalised menus to smooth service, expect professionalism and a personal touch that elevates your dining experience.

Initial Discussion

During our initial consultation, we'll discuss any dietary requirements and explore a variety of menu options to suit your tastes and event theme. Following our discussion, I'll craft a bespoke menu tailored to your preferences and send it via email for your review. Once you've approved the menu, I'll provide a detailed breakdown of the costings for your event, which will need your acceptance to proceed.

Please note that while I do not supply alcohol, I'm more than happy to offer expert wine pairing suggestions that complement the agreed-upon main courses, enhancing the overall dining experience.

Fees

Professional Fees

For a single dining event:

£40 per person for a two course meal

£56 per person for a three course meal*

*This is based on a minimum of two courses and six people, with a minimum charge of £240 per dining event.

Daily rate: minimum £200 per day**

**This is based on cooking two meals a day for five people and is calculated on an individual basis. This rate will be finalised following our initial discussion and your specific requirements.

Cancellations and Changes

Should you need to cancel or alter your booking, please notify me at least 48 hours in advance for a single dining event or three weeks in advance for a weekend or longer engagement.

Liability and Insurance

I operate with comprehensive liability insurance. However, I cannot be held responsible for any damage or injury caused by client-provided equipment or third-party services.
