					We needed sandwiches for a 50th birthday and decided to try Your Private Chef. Although we left it a bit late and only ordered 3 days in advance, everything went smoothly. The 36-piece sandwich platter was a hit, packed with a variety of delicious fillings that catered to all our guests’ dietary needs. We also ordered the 1.4kg fruit platter and the 3-cheese arancini to meet the minimum order. The fruit was fresh and enjoyed by everyone, and the arancini were tasty—though we couldn’t quite get them crispy in the oven. The delivery was right on time, which was much appreciated! Overall, we were very happy with the service and quality, and we’ll definitely use them again! 🙌

Your Private Chef has not only great catering in which l was at a recent function and they did the catering. Delicious finger food & platters of desert which was really fresh and easy to eat. I generally order the frozen meals as very handy when life gets really busy and you just don’t have the time to cook. Every meal from the butter chicken to the lasagnas are like a home cooked meal. Large servings of meat and all of them are very flavorsome.Great service , delicious food & very reasonable priced. Highly recommend Your Private Chef !❤️

I am located in Fawkner, Melbourne, and recently needed catering for a wake. I spoke with Ana, who was extremely helpful from start to finish and really took the stress out of organising food for such a difficult occasion. The ordering process was easy, and the delivery made everything completely hassle-free. The quality of the food was excellent and beautifully presented, which our family and guests truly appreciated. Having it all taken care of allowed us to focus on the day itself. A wonderful service – highly recommended.
