Request a quote for this menu

Tell us which guests need gluten-free meals or have allergies. Bread, crackers, stuffing, sauces and dessert substitutions are confirmed with the final menu, along with the preparation arrangements.

Request a quote for your group

We quote each buffet around the date, guest numbers, villa location and agreed menu. Share the number of adults and children separately. Minimum guest numbers and any equipment requirements are confirmed in your proposal.

We confirm the ingredients, chef and supporting team, setup, meal service, transport and kitchen clean-up included in your quote. Please check the villa’s plates, cutlery, glasses and serving dishes. Additional rentals, drinks, decorations and any applicable charges are agreed before booking.

For a different meal format, explore private dining, dinner for two or meals during your stay. Our price and inclusions guide covers the usual services; it is not a fixed festive quote.

Check the kitchen and dining space

We cover south and central Bali, including Canggu, Seminyak, Seseh, Ubud and Uluwatu. Send the villa map pin and ask your manager whether outside chefs may use the kitchen.

Kitchen photographs help us check the hob, oven, refrigeration and preparation space. For a buffet, confirm where the food will be served and whether everyone can sit together. A villa BBQ also needs a suitable grill arrangement. If you plan to eat outside, agree a covered alternative with the villa manager.

Please share access instructions, parking arrangements and a contact for the person arranging entry. Kitchen clean-up covers the area used for your meal, rather than whole-villa housekeeping.

Booking a private chef in Bali for Christmas

Give the exact date and intended meal time. Christmas Eve is 24 December and Christmas Day is 25 December. For New Year, specify 31 December 2026 or 1 January 2027; we will discuss the menu for that date separately.

We check availability and the villa requirements before confirming your proposal. The price, menu, service arrangements and payment or cancellation terms need to be agreed directly. Sending an enquiry does not reserve a chef.

Our booking checklist explains the information to prepare.

Send your date and preferred buffet

Share your date and meal time, villa location, number of guests, preferred cuisine, dietary requirements and occasion. Include the buffet you are considering so we can check availability and prepare a quote.
