Yes. TheKitchenTable now takes private chef requests in the Outer Banks: share your dates, group size and budget, and we match you with a professional chef who cooks, serves and cleans up at your beach house.
The Outer Banks is famous for huge beach houses rented by the week, many sleeping 20 or more, from Corolla down to Nags Head and Hatteras.
A private chef feeds the whole house in one go: shopping, cooking, serving and cleanup included.
Outer Banks groups are large families and reunions sharing big beach houses for the week.
Cooking for a full beach house is a full-time job. Not this week.
Families book the same week every year and love a tradition dinner.
From Corolla, a restaurant run is a trip. Dinner at home is easier.
Local shrimp, crab and tuna for a beach-house feast.
Group size: Anything from a dinner for two to a full house. Above about twelve guests, 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.
Peak weeks book a year ahead.
Warm water and fewer crowds.
Family holiday weeks.
We are now taking requests in Outer Banks. 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.
Yes. Family-style or buffet service works best for big houses and costs less per head.
Share the address and access notes, and the chef confirms they can reach it before they quote.
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.
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.
