Thank you, Your Private Chef, for making our special family event even more special. The food was delicious and our guests couldn't get enough. And, just as importantly, the customer service was professional and friendly from the first inquiry to set up to pick up. I loved the attention to detail and would definitely cater events again in this way

We had Your Private Chef cater our engagement/house warming and everyone was scrambling for the food. It was delivered with care and the smell immediately had us wanting to dig in. The pulled beef brisket burgers were the superstar but everything was excellent. Meatball pasta, mini beef wellingtons, arancini.. I'm glad I over ordered because I'm excited for leftovers! Do not hesitate to order through these people, you will be incredibly happy!

We've now used the amazing catering services of Your Private Chef on a number of occasions and this weekend they once again delivered an incredible experience for our Mother's Day event. The food was absolutely delicious - beautifully presented, full of flavour, and tailored perfectly to our needs. Guests are still raving about the roast lamb and crowd favourites potato gratin! Wouldn't hesitate to book them again or recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their event.

I ordered on a Saturday, rang and confirmed for Tuesday as it was a public holiday on Monday, food arrived at the specified time and was delicious. We will be back for our future events as it is so simple, food and customer service were great. We also had gluten free sandwiches which were great, it is hard to find a good GF Sandwich but Your Private Chef made a good one. Also very impressed with their other offerings which we will be trying in the future.

I'm sooo happy I stumbled across this business in my search for different office catering choices. We did a hot pasta lunch with a couple of salads. The quantity was perfect - and our employees devoured the food. I've been getting thanked left, right, and centre for the incredible catering so thank you very much and I know we'll become regulars!

I recently arranged catering for my birthday party through Your Private Chef. Everyone had a fantastic night and the quality of the food was incredible - everyone commented how good the food was. We had a variety of entry finger foods, pies, sausage rolls, vegetarian samosas etc. and the Mexican buffet. The brisket is amazing! I had to make several changes in the lead up to the event due to late RSVPs, and Ana was always very helpful and accomodating.

Highly recommend Your Private Chef. Ana was so lovely and responsive, and gave honest, helpful - and accurate - advice as to how much to order. It's so hard to make decisions when you are recently bereaved. Ana made it so much easier. And few caterers could do so well at such short notice, which wake's obviously are. The food was amazing - everyone said so, and wanted to know who had catered. Very grateful. Thank you all.

All I have to say is WOW!!! Everything was delicious. I work at a Retirement village, and the residents were so impressed. This review is on behalf of myself and all the residents. We ordered the hot buffet. It arrived steaming hot, I could barely hold the trays. Everything was full of flavour. The meat was so deliciously soft. Quite possibly the best gravy I’ve ever eaten. So much food!! Thank you so much Your Private Chef 👩‍🍳 We’ll be ordering again soon 🤤

Ana and the team catered for our church's Christmas function last year for about 30 people and they did such a splendid job, that we asked them to help us cater again, this time for an Easter event! The food is cleverly packaged, sized for easy storage in a typical fridge and presentable enough that we were able to serve as is with just the covers removed. The food was delicious and requires minimal prep, mostly just some reheating and the instructions provided are clear and easy to follow. Ana and the team were also very helpful with providing menu options that catered for some of our guests with dietary restrictions. Only catch is that they have limited delivery times for Sundays and public holidays, so we had to work around that. Specifically on Easter, we had to collect the food on the Saturday and store it for Sunday's event. But the food kept fine overnight and nobody was any the wiser. Highly recommend their services!

We used Your Private Chef for the canapes at Parliament Gardens in between our wedding ceremony and formal reception. Ana was extremely professional and organised in all our dealings before the day and I never had to follow her up, which I appreciate at such a busy time. On the day our guests commented on how fantastic and gourmet the food and refreshments. Ana also made a sign to signal our event in the public gardens, going beyond expectations. We would not hesitate to use Your Private Chef again. Excellent.
