Why Choose a Cottage with a Private Chef?
Private dining turns a luxury cottage stay into something truly memorable. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, hosting a family gathering, or simply treating yourselves to a special meal, having a private chef means you can relax while someone else takes care of the cooking. Many of our cottages offer flexible dining options, from one-off dinners to fully catered experiences, so you can design your stay your way.
If you’d like to book a chef yourself, Premier Cottages has partnered with yhangry, a trusted private chef service that connects you with talented chefs across the UK.
How It Works
Each Premier Cottage is independently owned, so private dining options may vary. Some owners have established partnerships with local chefs, while others are happy for guests to arrange their own. We recommend contacting the cottage owner directly to confirm what’s available before finalising your booking.
If your chosen cottage doesn’t already offer a preferred chef, you can still enjoy a private dining experience by booking directly through yhangry. Simply enter your stay location and dates to browse available chefs and menus.
FAQs
Can I book a private chef at any Premier Cottage?
Not every property offers this service, but many are open to guests arranging a private chef. Check with the cottage owner to confirm what’s possible at your chosen property.
How far in advance should I book a chef?
We recommend booking your chef at least two weeks before your stay, particularly during busy seasons or for large group celebrations.
What type of food can private chefs prepare?
Private chefs can cater for a wide range of cuisines and dietary preferences — from traditional British menus to modern fine dining and international dishes.
Do chefs bring their own equipment?
Chefs usually bring ingredients and most of their own equipment, though they may make use of some of the cottage’s kitchen facilities.
Is this service suitable for large groups?
Yes, many chefs specialise in catering for family gatherings or group holidays. If your group is particularly large, check with the chef or owner to ensure the kitchen and dining spaces are suitable.
