Yes — TheKitchenTable books private chefs who cook in Beaver Creek and Avon homes, condos and vacation rentals, for one dinner or every night of a stay, starting at $50 per person with shopping, cooking and cleanup included.
Beaver Creek and Avon are where a lot of Vail Valley visitors actually sleep. Beaver Creek Village and Bachelor Gulch are ski-in, ski-out; Avon sits at the bottom of the gondola with condos and family homes a few minutes from the lifts. Almost everyone is in a rental with a full kitchen, and almost nobody wants to cook in it after a day on the mountain.
Stays here also tend to be longer than a weekend. That changes what a chef is for: not just one celebration dinner, but breakfast before skiing, a meal plan for the week, or dinner every night of the trip. One family booked a TheKitchenTable chef for every day of a two-month stay in the valley.
Our chefs travel to Beaver Creek and Avon from across Colorado. Send the dates, the group size and the budget, and chefs who cover the valley send menus built around them.
Beaver Creek and Avon bookings are often multi-night: families and friend groups who want dinner, or every meal, handled for the whole stay.
Week-long and month-long stays are common here. A chef can cook a single dinner, a few set nights, or every meal of the trip, so nobody spends their holiday grocery shopping in Avon.
Bachelor Gulch and Beaver Creek Village rentals put you on the snow, not near a restaurant. Dinner is ready when the group comes off the mountain, not when a village restaurant can seat twelve.
Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year fill the valley. A chef cooks the holiday meal in your rental, so the host sits down with everyone else.
Beaver Creek and Arrowhead homes usually have serious kitchens and big tables, exactly what a chef needs to cook and serve a large group well.
Group size: most Beaver Creek bookings run between 8 and 16 guests. Our chefs also cook for much larger celebrations. Above about twelve, family-style works best and costs less per head.
Give us the property address when you send your request — chefs confirm they can reach it before they quote.
Chef availability tightens on the same weeks the rentals do.
The valley's busiest stretch. Book holiday meals several weeks ahead; holiday dates carry a small premium.
Family weeks with big groups. Multi-night bookings fill first.
Weddings, reunions and hiking groups. Easier to book, and long weekends are popular.
Family-style service starts at $50 per person. Larger groups bring the per-head cost down — big buffet-style bookings can land near $15 per person — and plated multi-course menus cost more. You set the budget first and chefs propose menus that fit it, so there is no surprise at the end.
Yes. Chefs can cook a single dinner, a few set nights, or every meal of a longer stay, and multi-day bookings are often priced per day. Tell us the dates and which meals you want covered, and chefs propose a plan for the whole trip.
Yes. Chefs cook in homes, condos and rentals across Beaver Creek Village, Bachelor Gulch, Arrowhead, Avon, Wildridge and Edwards. Give us the property address when you book so the chef can plan the drive and parking.
Yes. Shopping, prep, cooking, serving and full kitchen cleanup are all included. The kitchen is left as the chef found it, which matters more than usual in a rental where you are on the hook for a cleaning deposit.
Yes, and holiday weeks are some of the most requested. Book a few weeks ahead. Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Eve carry a holiday premium of 10% of the menu price.
Our chefs travel to Beaver Creek and Avon from across Colorado, many from the Denver metro and the mountain communities. Every chef who sends you a menu has confirmed they can cover your dates at your address.
