Ordered catering for a work Christmas lunch. The turkey and roast veggies were so good. The only downside was that it was a little stressful coordinating delivery on the day.

Ana and the team catered for our church’s Christmas function last year for about 30 people and they did such a splendid job, that we asked them to help us cater again, this time for an Easter event! The food is cleverly packaged, sized for easy storage in a typical fridge and presentable enough that we were able to serve as is with just the covers removed. The food was delicious and requires minimal prep, mostly just some reheating and the instructions provided are clear and easy to follow. Ana and the team were also very helpful with providing menu options that catered for some of our guests with dietary restrictions. Only catch is that they have limited delivery times for Sundays and public holidays, so we had to work around that. Specifically on Easter, we had to collect the food on the Saturday and store it for Sunday’s event. But the food kept fine overnight and nobody was any the wiser. Highly recommend their services!

I ordered a Christmas lunch buffet for a small get together from Your Private Chef and I am very happy I did. Great and responsive customer service from Ana, timely delivery, clear and very easy instructions, no preparation required just reheat and you are done. The food was delicious, and we had plenty of leftovers to enjoy. I will definitely order again, thank you for a hassle free Christmas.

Great service right from my first phone call, Danika was a pleasure to deal with and helpful throughout my several enquiries. Food was delivered well packaged, (love the tableware), on time for Christmas Eve. Delicious and well received by all my guests, (chickpea salad a favourite with the vegetarian)... instructions were clear, even for a personal with zero culinary imagination, as myself... I certainly recommend this wonderful service to all! Kerry J ~ Parkville

Hi Ana
Just letting you know your food for our lunch was really really lovely. So many people asked who did the catering because the food was so much better than we usually have. I got the congratulations for choosing the caterer and now I am passing the congratulations on to you. Thank you so much and we will be asking Your Private Chef to cater again for our Christmas lunch.

David and Ana from YPC are amazing - you must book these guys! We have had so many compliments on the food at our wedding - cooked perfectly and tasted out of this world. Our guests loved sharing all the platters down the long tables. It was spectacular. Communication is top notch and nothing was too hard - very accommodating to all needs. Thank you guys for everything - I know it was challenging in 43 degree heat up in Christmas Hills - you were great!
