FULL DINNER WITH 4 or 6 COURSES

Enjoy a 4 or 6-course meal prepared in your home by The Tiny Chef before your guests arrive. The private dinner is like having all the wonderful offerings of a nice restaurant in the comfort of your home. For private dinner parties, the Tiny Chef stays throughout the meal to plate, serve, and clean up! Private dinner duration is 3-4 hours. Depending on how many courses, we will arrive at the event location 3-6 hours before the event. Please allow 1-2 hours at the close of the event for clean-up.

Weekly Meal Plan Club

If you are in a pinch for the week and cannot plan meals for yourself and your family, fear not! The Tiny Chef offers a weekly meal plan option with at least 4 generously portioned meals that you may freeze or eat immediately. Eating local and in-season produce is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint, reduce your pesticide consumption, ensure you receive the maximum amount of nutrients in your produce, and help out your local economy & farmers. We only take 10 clients to ensure the food is fresh as if we were preparing it at home.
