We advise you to contact the Chef directly, who will be able to answer this question, as his answer will depend directly on the complexity of the menu.

As part of a classic in-home chef service, you can be a maximum of 6 people without the need for a maître d'.

Until then, Chef Bodin will provide the service himself in this configuration.

In this case, Chef Bodin will not only find a qualified maître d', but will also coordinate and supervise the entire service to ensure that your event runs smoothly.

The Chef's arrival time depends on the complexity of the menu and the number of guests.

Chef Bodin will serve up to 6 guests.

Beyond this number, the presence of a maître d' is recommended to guarantee optimum service.

It is important to note that these figures are indicative and depend on the complexity of the menu, the venue and other logistical factors.

A specific validation from the Chef will be carried out for each event, ensuring tailor-made planning according to your needs and the nature of the occasion.

Absolutely, Chef Bodin takes charge of cleaning the kitchen before he leaves.

This includes cleaning all used surfaces, running the dishwasher for used utensils and crockery, and taking out the bins.

The method of payment is usually agreed in advance when the service is booked.
