Of course we can! In fact, most of our events are held in your vacation places. We just have to make sure beforehand that the kitchen is equipped with all the necessary tools.
It really depends on your style of event and menu. For catering events, you decide if Chef Dimi serve and leave or stay to serve gradually. For private chef experiences, will serve your courses as they would come out at a restaurant. For both catering and private chef experiences, Chef Dimi will arrive a couple of hours before the event to start prepping.
When your guests arrive and what time you eat is up to you. We will discuss this with you to work out timings for Chef Dimi on the day.
Definitely not! That’s one of the best things about booking an experience with Chef Dimi: she preps, cooks, serves, and cleans, so all you need to worry about is enjoying yourself.
The only thing worse than throwing a party and being stuck in the kitchen all night is waking up to a mess. Many hosts tell us their chef left the kitchen cleaner than it was when they arrived!
We will discuss previously these details with you, but you can also find a required equipment list at how it works page. Here is a general guide:
Oven, stove, microwave, pots, pans, general kitchen utensils, chopping boards, cleared fridge and freezer shelf, 1x entrée plate, main plate, knife, fork and spoon per guest.
Usually not, but in some instances Chef Dimi may need to come back to collect some of the servingware she has used. Collection is arranged before the event at a convenient time that suits the Chef and host, within 48 hours after the event.
Sure we can! When we discuss about your event, you have to specify what you need. We can provide glasses, plates, cutlery, kitchen utensils, table settings, barbecue and some decoration.
To your liking! Some hosts prefer to do it themselves, others trust the chef. Remember to specify it to carry the necessary table settings.
The more notice you can give us the better, but we understand sometimes plans can be difficult to nail down. One weeks is generally the latest notice period we can manage as Chef Dimi do book up quickly, and even then it can be tricky.
Our advice is to pop your enquiry in as early as possible so we can start checking Chef Dimi's availability, and we can always look at new dates if needed.
Not to worry! We know it can be hard to manage a group's schedule. We recommend confirming your booking with the minimum guests you’re expecting. You can then add on more guests leading 3 days up to your event.
There are 4 ways to choose a menu:
Don't panic, it's easier than it's seems. If you're not sure what you want, we talk about previously so you can tell us what are you looking for and we made it!
You sure can! Our curated menus are specially designed for a full culinary experience, but you can change any dish you want.
That is why we contact you beforehand, to finalize your ideal menu.
Sure you can! Just keep in mind that the price of your menu will always depend on the dishes and the number of people.
Dairy free, gluten free, vegetarian or vegan - you only have to specify it. Both curated and custom menus can replace any dishes at your preference.
Of course we do! Most of our clients are adults, and if there are children at the event they eat the same as adults. In any case, for special events or large groups of very young children, we prepare special dishes for them. Remember, you have to specify it!
Chef Dimi is passionate about supporting local/national farmers and producers and use seasonal products. We generally purchase fresh ingredients 24–48 hours before your event, so you’re guaranteed the freshest, tastiest dining experience.

Difficult to answer. Keep in mind that it is a personalized service that includes the chef, maybe a waiter, the products, equipment and the hours of cooking, service and cleaning.
Once we have discussed your menu, we will give you a price per person so you can decide.
Chef Dimi is on hand to cook, serve, and clean up, but in case of more than 8 guest we may bring a service waiter, this will depend on your style event.
Adding a service waiter is generally up to the Chef, but if you personally would like a waiter to come along and it is not a requirement, this would come at an extra cost. Please contact us to discuss the details.
Once we have discussed and decided your menu, you will need to make a reservation of €150 to secure the day of your event.
Once your event is finished, you must pay the rest of your invoice within 1-3 days.
In case of cancellation, the €150 of the reservation will not be refunded.
