What if someone in the party wants something else?
For bookings of 8 or more, we would be happy to do a combination of two protein options (filet mignon, pan-seared halibut, Piri Piri chicken, or proscuitto wrapped salmon) combined with two sides that pair well with both. If you wish to do so, just add a note in the dietary requirements or send us an email!
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellations made at least 7 days in advance are fully refundable.
Can I book for less than 6 people?
We are currently taking bookings for a minimum of four guests. If you there are fewer 6 in your party, our chef will be happy to set aside the remaining meals for you to enjoy in the following days!
Are Shore Chef chefs bonded and insured?
All of our chefs are bonded, insured and are Servsafe® certified!
How long will the chef take to prepare the meal?
Our Chef will arrive approximately 2 hours prior to your booking time. If the menu selection or add-ons require additional time, you will be notified via email at least 2 days before booking.
What if some in my party want different desserts?
Not a problem, just let us know in the Allergies/Dietary Restrictions box how many of each you want!
What cooking equipment do I need?
Our chef will require standard cooking pots and pans, as well as serving dishes. Any specialty equipment will be brought by the chef. Anything used by the chef will be cleaned and returned to its place in the kitchen.
What if someone in my party has allergies?
Our chefs will be happy to omit any ingredients due to customer allergies or dietary restrictions.
Do I need to tip the chef?
Our Chefs strive to provide an exceptional service and experience. Gratuities are greatly appreciated and it is customary to tip a percentage of the bill, as one would at a restaurant.
When do I have to book by?
Currently, Shore Chef is only taking bookings at least 7 days in advance. We are aiming to reduce this time frame in the coming months.
Can I adjust how spicy a dish will be?
If a dish contains any spice, our chef tailor the recipe accordingly. If one person wants a little more kick to their dish, we will be happy to leave you with additional spices on the side.
