Get Christmas Catering in Rhondda

Each chef on yhangry sets their own minimum spend. Some chefs have a minimum spend of £200, others have a minimum spend of £2,000 depending on their experience. 

Depending on the type of service you are after, the chef might have a different minimum per person spend which needs to be met. Eg. a chef might be happy to provide a buffet style dinner for £35pp but for a 3-course seated and plated dinner which requires more time for plating, serving each course, clearing up, the chef might charge a minimum of £50pp. 

For special days like Christmas Day and NYE, there is a fixed minimum spend of £1500 and £1000 respectively. 

Here is how yhangry works —

1. Send a request on the website - this includes details about your event (date, location, number of guests etc).
2. Your request will be sent to all chefs who match your criteria. If you are looking for a particular chef, you can browse chefs in your area and message them directly. This is preferred by those who are looking to re-book the same chef.
3. Interested chefs will respond to you with a quote, which entails a suggested menu and a price.
4. Compare different quotes and chat with the chefs. All our chefs are happy to accommodate changes to the menu to make it perfect for you so don’t worry about asking for changes. You can call chefs via the platform to discuss finer details over the phone.
5. To secure the chef we recommend that you make payment whilst finalising the menu. Once you have paid, your chefs calendar will be blocked so no other client can book your chef.
6. The chef will arrive at your event location around 2 hours before the start time. However this is usually agreed and well communicated between chef and client.
7. The chef will bring the groceries, cook, serve and clean up.

The cost of a private chef booked on yhangry covers the chef’s time, cost of ingredients, travel to your location, serving, and cleanup. If the event is for a bigger group the chef might also include the cost of waitstaff and sous chefs to deliver a seamless experience. This depends on the personal capacity of the chef and is asking about when booking.

Our chefs mostly bring their own freshly-sourced ingredients and premium-quality meats to prepare scrumptious meals. You can provide your own ingredients if you have particular requirements that the chef might not be able to sources. However, our private chefs mostly bring their own freshly-sourced ingredients and  premium-quality meats to prepare scrumptious meals.

By default, our chefs do not bring cooking equipment. They will use the kitchen equipment available in your home. If you are hosting your event at a rented venue, such as a holiday home or event space please be specific in your communications with the chef about what kitchen facilities are available. Most private chefs have their own equipment and will be able to provide things as long as they are told beforehand.

Everything will be cooked on site, but depending on the menu, your chef might prepare some mise-en-places to improve the experience on the day.

Yes, the chef’s quoted price includes cleanup. For small groups, the chef will typically handle kitchen cleanup and clear plates between courses. For larger groups, the chef will clean the kitchen, but you may need a waiter to help with serving and clearing plates between courses. For groups of more than 8 people we recommend asking the chef if they will be delivering the service on their own or bringing a helper.

No, the chef does not set the table. This is ideally done before the chef arrives so that you won’t have to disturb the chef during the cooking, especially if space in the kitchen is limited. If you specified with the chef and any waitstaff to help with the table setting then they will be setting the table.

Yes - the chef will clean up all equipment used and leave your kitchen as it was at the start.
