Reserve Your Private Chef on Kiawah Island

Q: What does transparent pricing mean when I reserve a Kiawah Island private chef?

We don’t want you to be surprised by added fees or unexpected costs. The price you see when booking with FFK covers everything: from ingredients to cooking to cleanup. It’s only if you add services, guests, or courses that your cost will change, and gratuities are not included.

Q: Do your Kiawah Island private chefs only cook for dinner parties?

Amongst our chefs’ menus, you’ll find culinary concepts suitable for a range of meals and events. Here are just a few suggestions:Date NightsBachelor/Bachelorette Parties and WeddingsMilestone CelebrationsElevated BrunchesFamily Holiday MealsIf you have additional questions about our Kiawah Island personal chefs, just ask.

Q: Can I hire a Kiawah Island private chef for vacation meals?

Absolutely. When you are visiting your vacation home, you can leave the cooking to us. Book a full-stop culinary experience for a one-off event in your Kiawah Island home, or have a personal chef come in to prepare meals in advance for you and your guests.

Q: Am I able to reserve a personal chef on Kiawah Island even if I’m not ready to decide on my menu?

We highly recommend that you book your chef as soon as your date is firm. Use the “Choose Later” placeholder options for any course that’s still up in the air; all we ask is that you finalize your selections at least 7 days before your event.

Chef Robert prepared dinner for our son’s wedding at our home. It could not have been better from the food to the service to the cleanup. We would definitely use him again for another event and highly recommend that others do the same. He brought his friend Adam to help as bartender and served and Adam was wonderful and engaging. And made fantastic cocktails and never let my champagne flute get empty!!

Brandy and Crystal were phenomenal. They cooked for my wife's birthday with her friends and made the night incredibly special for her. They were extremely professional, personable, and I'm pretty sure they left our kitchen cleaner than before they got there. Could not recommend them enough.

Chef Tim did a wonderful job for our ~50 person wedding!! The communication was top notch, his ability to be flexible was outstanding (because nothing ever goes as planned!), and the quality of food was outstanding. The beef Wellington was A1- the cut of meat, the preparation, the taste…wow. Same with the fish, the vegetables…even the ahi tuna nacho and Indian chicken meatball appetizers— an absolute cut above! Thank you Chef Tim!
