Can you get a private chef in Charleston?

Yes. TheKitchenTable now takes private chef requests in Charleston and its beach islands: share your dates, group size and budget, and we match you with a professional chef who cooks, serves and cleans up at your rental.

Charleston is one of the country's great food cities, and visitors stay everywhere from downtown homes to beach houses on Kiawah, Isle of Palms and Folly Beach.

A private chef brings that food culture home: dinner cooked in your kitchen, served at your table, then cleaned up.

Private chef in Charleston — common questions

Do you have private chefs in Charleston yet?

We are now taking requests in Charleston. Send yours with your dates, group size and budget, and we match you personally with a professional private chef who can cook at your rental. You only pay once you have picked a menu you like, so there is no risk in asking.

Can we book a bachelorette dinner in Charleston?

Do chefs cover Kiawah and Seabrook?

Send your address and gate details, and the chef confirms they can reach it before they quote.

How much does a private chef cost in Charleston?

You set the budget on the request form, per person or for the whole group, and chefs send menus built to fit it. Price depends on group size, the number of courses and the style of service, and family-style dinners cost less per head than plated ones. Taxes and fees are shown before you pay.

Does the chef clean up afterwards?

Yes. Shopping, prep, cooking, serving and full kitchen cleanup are all included, so the kitchen is left as the chef found it. That matters in a rental where you are on the hook for a cleaning deposit.
