Confirm kitchen access
Ensure the chef has a working stove, oven, sink and refrigerator; lack of equipment can limit menu options.
Share dietary needs early
Provide allergies and preferences at booking so the menu can be tailored safely and creatively.
Plan for timing
Block a 3–4 hour window for prep, service and cleanup; evening bookings work best for relaxed pacing.
Discuss gratuity and cleanup
Clarify whether gratuity and disposal of leftovers are included so there are no surprises after the meal.
Kitchen access (stove, oven, sink)
A functioning kitchen with basic appliances allows the chef to execute a full menu.
Dinnerware and flatware
Provide plates, knives and forks if you prefer to use your own set rather than rented serviceware.
Wine glasses or beverageware
Appropriate glassware elevates pairing and service, especially for curated wine selections.
Insulated cooler or storage containers
Useful for transporting leftovers or storing extra ingredients, especially for beachside homes.
