Chefs & Caterers
A private meal can simplify a gathering, but it needs clear coordination. Treat chef and catering listings as introductions, then agree the menu, location, timing, access, and terms directly before making the meal part of your plans.
Start with a clear brief
Browse chefs and caterers to find contacts, then explain the date, service location, number of guests, preferred meal style, and any non-negotiable dietary requirements. Ask what the provider currently offers rather than assuming a particular cuisine, staffing level, equipment, or service format. Early communication gives both sides time to decide whether the request is a fit.
Confirm the menu and dietary approach
Discuss the proposed menu, substitutions, allergies, and cross-contact concerns in direct terms. A chef or caterer may be able to explain their approach, but should not be assumed to meet a medical requirement. Confirm what is included in writing, including beverages, serving, cleanup, and any items the group or property must provide.
Coordinate with the property
Before confirming, ask the host or property manager whether outside food service is permitted and what access, kitchen use, appliances, parking, delivery, or cleanup arrangements apply. Do not assume use of a villa kitchen, dock, event space, or shared area. Confirm the provider’s scope and the property’s terms separately.
Plan timing around the wider day
Use the map and food directory to keep a backup meal option in mind. If the meal follows an outing, allow a buffer instead of promising an exact return time. The first-timer's guide can help you build a more flexible overall schedule.
Keep confirmations accessible
Retain the agreed menu, guest count, timing, payment and cancellation terms, contact details, and property approval. Reconfirm important details close to the service date, particularly availability, access, and dietary requests. Tell guests which arrangements are confirmed and which are still being finalized. Make changes promptly so the provider can confirm whether they remain possible.
