A corporate retreat chef for offsites and team dinners

A corporate retreat chef on site for the entire retreat, or a single well-planned dinner during the offsite. You run the agenda, and we make sure everyone is fed on time.

A chef for the whole retreat

For multi-day retreats, your chef stays with the group for breakfast, lunch and dinner each day, planned around your schedule. The rate is $1,250 a day for the chef, plus food, for as many days as you need, with one server for every twelve guests at meals.

Retreat menus are deliberately lighter and simpler than our event menus. Guests spend the day in sessions and want food that keeps them alert through the afternoon, not a five-course tasting at lunch. We save the plated dinner for the evening that matters most, usually the last one.

A typical retreat day

  • Breakfast set out before the first session: eggs, fruit, parfaits, something hot
  • Lunch ready at the break: a salad and protein bar, a taco bar or a Mediterranean spread
  • Dinner family-style or plated, depending on the night
  • Snacks and coffee refreshed between sessions if you want them

Team dinners and client nights

Planning a single evening rather than a full retreat? Book it as a private dinner at the house or rental, from $57 to $125 a person depending on service style, plus food, with a $830 minimum. A plated dinner at the house is quieter than a restaurant, so colleagues and clients can have a real conversation.

Allergies for the whole group

Send us the group's dietary needs once, and every one goes onto the event order: allergies, vegetarian and vegan guests, gluten-free, kosher-style or halal-friendly requests. The chef plans each meal around that list for every day of the retreat.

One invoice

You receive a single quote and invoice for the chef, the food and any servers. A non-refundable $500 deposit holds your dates, and the balance is due 30 days before you arrive. Travel insurance is offered when you book. See our pricing page for full details.

Questions people ask

How many people can you cook for?

Most retreats we cook for have 8 to 30 guests. Share your headcount, and we will staff accordingly.

Can the menu change day to day?

Yes. Each day has its own menu, so nothing repeats, and we can adjust as the retreat goes on.

Do you stay overnight?

Your chef comes in for each day's meals. If the property has staff quarters, please ask us about other arrangements.
