Why Orlando groups book a chef
Orlando has more large vacation homes than almost anywhere in the country: houses in Kissimmee, Davenport, ChampionsGate and Reunion with eight, ten or even twelve bedrooms, a pool and a game room. They are built for big families and groups traveling together, but not for feeding twenty people after a day at the parks. Restaurants near the parks are packed at dinnertime, and no one wants to stand at the stove after twelve hours on their feet. A private chef in Orlando solves that.
Our chef cooks at the house while you are out, and dinner is ready when you walk in.
Our After-the-Parks Dinner
Tell us your park days. On those evenings, the chef lets themselves into the house, cooks, sets the table and times dinner to your drive home. There are plates for children and for adults, every allergy is handled, and the kitchen is cleaned before we leave. See how the After-the-Parks Dinner works.
Who we cook for in Orlando
- Families on a park week: dinners on park days, a cookout on the pool day and breakfast before early entry.
- Multi-family trips and reunions: one large house, three or four families and a single table that fits everyone.
- Birthdays and milestone trips: a plated dinner on the pool deck for the big night.
- Bachelorette weekends and girls' trips: brunch before the parks or the pool, and a dinner party at the house before an evening on International Drive or at Disney Springs.
- Corporate and convention groups: a team dinner at a rental home instead of another hotel banquet. See corporate retreats.

What we'd cook in Orlando
Orlando menus are about feeding a crowd well: generous platters, food children recognize, and one or two dishes that feel like a treat. Favorites from our menus include BBQ pulled pork with baked beans and pineapple coleslaw, mac and cheese, blackened grouper with coconut rice, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, bacon-wrapped filet for the last night, and key lime pie or tres leches to finish.
Good to know
- Many resort communities, including Reunion, ChampionsGate and Encore, have a guard gate. Add our chef to your guest list, or send us your host's gate instructions.
- Most rental homes use a door code or lockbox. Your host can share it with us so the chef can start cooking while you are out.
- Peak weeks are spring break, summer and the holidays, so please book early for those dates.
- Pricing: dinners from $57 a person and brunch from $68, plus food, with a $830 minimum. A chef for the whole stay is $1,250 a day plus food.
