What is included in the costs of a private chef?

The cost of a private chef covers the cost of Ingredients, meal preparation, cooking, serving, and cleanup.

What equipment do I need to provide for the private chefs?

Mostly yhangry private chefs carry their own equipment, so you won't need to assist with any. However, ensuring the basic cooking amenities like blenders, stoves and crockery are available is essential.

Experience the joy of Japanese Christmas catering

Booking Japanese Christmas catering has never been easier, especially with platforms like yhangry. This service brings the rich and diverse flavours of Japanese cuisine directly to your festive celebration, allowing you to delight your guests with iconic dishes without the hassle of dining at a restaurant.

Why choose Japanese catering this Christmas?

Japanese cuisine is known for its emphasis on fresh ingredients and delicate flavours. Iconic dishes include sushi, sashimi, , and tempura, making it appealing to foodies looking for something unique this festive season. With yhangry, you can access over 16+ menus, ranging from casual dining and canapés to Michelin-starred fine dining tasting menus.

Pain points of dining out during Christmas

During the Christmas period, many restaurants shut their doors on Christmas Day, leaving you with limited options for dining out. For those that remain open, accommodating large groups can be a struggle. This often leads to long waiting times and a less than ideal experience for special gatherings. However, by opting for Christmas catering for Japanese food, you ensure a seamless celebration at home or your venue without the usual inconveniences.

yhangry's advantages

Across the UK, yhangry offers 132+ Christmas caterers specialising in Japanese food, making it easy to find the perfect fit for your group. Each month, over 131+ customers request these services, demonstrating the growing popularity of this cuisine—last year, Japanese was the 14th most popular cuisine for Christmas catering.

With an average spend of just £593 for a group of 8 guests and more than 121+ five-star reviews, it's clear that choosing yhangry for your Japanese Christmas catering needs is an excellent decision. Enjoy a festive feast that your guests will remember!
