About

I am located in Fawkner, Melbourne, and recently needed catering for a wake. I spoke with Ana, who was extremely helpful from start to finish and really took the stress out of organising food for such a difficult occasion. The ordering process was easy, and the delivery made everything completely hassle-free. The quality of the food was excellent and beautifully presented, which our family and guests truly appreciated. Having it all taken care of allowed us to focus on the day itself. A wonderful service – highly recommended.

Highly recommended! Thank you for another great event! The food was delicious and the service top notch! Looking forward to our next event.

We had a fabulous experience with your private chef. This was the first time l had used the service . The ordering process was excellent, the staff extremely prompt and helpful , the food was terrific and exactly as described. I would highly recommend using your private chef and thanks for helping to make our day very special.

Fast and easy to order. Food was delicious and customers were impressed.

Thank you for another great event! The food was delicious and the service top notch! Looking forward to our next event.

There were 4 of us for lunch to go through old family photos left in the home of our departed 98 year old uncle. Because we are all in our late 70's all we needed was a "snack" while we passed around the photos and old documents but I didn't want to have to cook or prepare so I called "Your Private Chef" and had a box of beautiful sandwiches delivered. Delicious and I didn't have to do anything except put them on the table. Great job Private Chef! Thank you.

They went above and beyond - impeccable food, flawless service, and genuine care in every detail. Everything exceeded our expectations. Can't recommend them enough

Excellent experience all round. Ordering was simple, delivery was on time, communication was great and the food was outstanding! Will definitely be using again.

Great portion size and delicious food. Great selection of finger food as well.

It was outstanding, from ordering to delivery and the food was was exceptional. We will be ordering a Christmas banquet as we were so impressed. Don't go past this team they are wonderful and food exceptional.

Excellent sandwiches/wraps/rolls & the fruit sticks were beautiful and fresh. I would highly recommend.

A lot of positive feedback from the staff on the quality of the food for our morning tea. The Portuguese tarts were a great hit. We liked that we received a text notification approximately 15 minutes before delivery with the estimated time of arrive (and it was spot on time!!).

Easy to order, fast delivery and grateful recipients. Thank you

Thank you, Your Private Chef, for making our special family event even more special. The food was delicious and our guests couldn't get enough. And, just as importantly, the customer service was professional and friendly from the first inquiry to set up to pick up. I loved the attention to detail and would definitely cater events again in this way

First order and very happy! Staff loved the food! Will be back!

Fabulous! The team LOVED it and the entire office came to grab some of the delicious food. Thank you Ana & the YPC team - you guys are amazing!!

We had Your Private Chef cater our engagement/house warming and everyone was scrambling for the food. It was delivered with care and the smell immediately had us wanting to dig in. The pulled beef brisket burgers were the superstar but everything was excellent. Meatball pasta, mini beef wellingtons, arancini.. I'm glad I over ordered because I'm excited for leftovers! Do not hesitate to order through these people, you will be incredibly happy!

Thank you Ana for assisting with a last minute order. The food was great as always and my team give you a score of 20 out of 10..!! Best wishes, Ross

Easy ordering and collection, with terrific gluten free options. Everyone commented on how delicious the food was for our family event.

The food was absolutely delicious and the people delightful. Highly recommend!

We've now used the amazing catering services of Your Private Chef on a number of occasions and this weekend they once again delivered an incredible experience for our Mother's Day event. The food was absolutely delicious - beautifully presented, full of flavour, and tailored perfectly to our needs. Guests are still raving about the roast lamb and crowd favourites potato gratin! Wouldn't hesitate to book them again or recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their event.

I've been fortunate to enjoy Your Private Chef food on multiple occasions, and they consistently impress. The dishes are always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality shine through in every bite. Whether it's a casual gathering or a formal event, they deliver excellence every time. Highly recommended!

They are an excellent catering company and our participants always comment on the quality and our staff on the efficiency of their service. Amazing caterers and i have used many!

Cannot fault a single thing. Ordering was simple with a huge selection of choices; food arrived exactly as scheduled; presentation was outstanding and food was delicious. Absolutely awesome!!!

Easy ordering, great customer service and flexibility, and yummy food :)

I ordered on a Saturday, rang and confirmed for Tuesday as it was a public holiday on Monday, food arrived at the specified time and was delicious. We will be back for our future events as it is so simple, food and customer service were great. We also had gluten free sandwiches which were great, it is hard to find a good GF Sandwich but Your Private Chef made a good one. Also very impressed with their other offerings which we will be trying in the future.

I'm sooo happy I stumbled across this business in my search for different office catering choices. We did a hot pasta lunch with a couple of salads. The quantity was perfect - and our employees devoured the food. I've been getting thanked left, right, and centre for the incredible catering so thank you very much and I know we'll become regulars!

Such an easy site to use with prompt delivery service and great communication. Food options were terrific and selections were delicious. Would highly recommend.

Excellent food, Great presentation, Timely preparation. Very professional

Delicious!!!

Total Professional Operation and the Sushi delivered was devoured and loved at our event! Ana was a delight to deal with and i thoroughly recommend Private Chef! Malcolm Twining Hampton United Cricket Club

Excellent quality and service. Order was delivered on time on Saturday. Quality of sandwiches and desserts were great. Very satisfied

The catering and service provided by this company was exceptional. The produce was fresh and the items we ordered were well prepared. I received a phone call beforehand, to confirm any allergies and what we had ordered would suit our group. Thank you for your wonderful service - we will definitely order again when our meetings occur next in Melbourne.

I recently used Your Private Chef for the first time and was very impressed. The food was fresh, well-presented, and received several compliments from our guests. I look forward to using their services for future catering needs.

Food was amazing and turned up exactly when we had arranged it. Great service and fantastic food.

The food is always delicious, and we tried some new dishes this time and they were just as amazing. I also added a staff member this time to set up, serve and clean up. He was incredible and could not do enough to please us. Such an easy company to deal with in every way

I had to order a platter of 36 piece sandwiches last minute, and this was IT! The food and presentation was amazing, and pricing was so reasonable considering the time constraints. Ana was most helpful in responding to me and answering my question! Would definitely recommend!

I just want to thank you for your prompt, on time delivery and the AMAZING food!! I also appreciated the ETA text message from the delivery driver. My guests loved all the food and went back for 2nd and 3rd helpings! The food, cold, hot, deserts and fruit was fresh, well presented and delicious! Thank you so much. I will definitely be utilising your services again.

I would highly recommend Your Private Chef as the go to regarding events.. private functions or just dinner for family. The range of food, the service is exceptional. I’ve tried others but the team at Your Private Chef deliver excellence.

Friend recommended this catering company so we ordered some filled croissants, frittata and sandwiches for our birthday morning tea party. Everyone really enjoyed the food. Excellent quality food, delivered punctually. Will definitely reorder and looking to try some of their ready-to-heat meals in future.

Thanks-the kids sandwiches and fruit platters were exactly what I needed to cater for my daughters 2nd birthday

The event we were planning had to change date and Ana was able to accommodate this change with very little notice. I am very grateful for this Ana. Appreciate your help and as always, everyone loved your food. :)

The food was so delicious and plentiful. The staff were very professional, friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Your private Chef. Thanks for making my event so amazing!

We used Your Private Chef to cater our son's 21st birthday party. We chose the do it yourself Burrito bar and it was a huge hit with all the guests. The food was fresh and tasty and also presented beautifully. I even saw one of our young guests take a photo of the business logo on one of the boxes. A great endorsement.

We used Your Private Chef to cater for our company picnic and cannot recommend them highly enough. Their delivery driver was extremely helpful, and the food was presented beautifully and tasted great. Our guests were very impressed. Thank you!

We booked Your Private Chef for our wedding reception and were overjoyed with the service and quality. Throughout the planning process Ana was so helpful and easy to work with. They provided a beautifully decorated grazing table and a delicious Mexican buffet, of which all our guests spoke very highly.

Ana & the fantastic team at Your Private Chef are the only caterers in Melbourne I trust for my clients. I use YPC on a regular basis, the quality of food is exceptional and they have been extremely accomodating with all requests. Couldn’t recommend them more, thanks Ana & YPC team!

Thank you for my delivery. These meals are so convenient being able to take out of the freezer and into the microwave. Great quality and taste! Thanks

Excellent! Food was tasty and plentiful. Staff were great. In all an excellent effort. Cannot find fault!

Always delicious food and prompt service. We have now used your catering for two years and will keep coming back. Thank you Ana and team!

Thank you so much for another fabulous lunch! All of the food was so fresh and full of flavour. We love how the food is presented and ready for serving.

Delicious food, delivered promptly and allowed me to order at late notice. The range of options in the mixed artisan platter was great, gf options were delicious, and the sushi was excellent. Enjoyed by all. Definitely recommend!

I recently arranged catering for my birthday party through Your Private Chef. Everyone had a fantastic night and the quality of the food was incredible - everyone commented how good the food was. We had a variety of entry finger foods, pies, sausage rolls, vegetarian samosas etc. and the Mexican buffet. The brisket is amazing! I had to make several changes in the lead up to the event due to late RSVPs, and Ana was always very helpful and accomodating.

Food was wonderfully presented and delicious. Added style and sophistication to the party. Delivery was ahead of requested time but communication was made prior to this.

Great food and great service.

Ordered catering for a work Christmas lunch. The turkey and roast veggies were so good. The only downside was that it was a little stressful coordinating delivery on the day.

Food was delicious, well sized and easy to prepare. Would happily order again

Thank you so much it's always on time so yummy and so so easy. Love these guys x

All foods were amazingly delicious! We ordered few sandwiches boxes and salad for my kid's birthday party! All guests enjoyed the foods from Your Private Chef, and asked me where I ordered the foods! I will absolutely order from them for any kind of future functions! Highly recommend it! And it is so easy to order via their website!

Efficient and friendly delivery - and the food is great!

Everyone enjoyed the food and cakes!!!. We will recommend Your Private Chef and will use them at all our future functions. They have amazing variety of food and cakes and excellent service!!

Very nice, thank you :)

The food from Your Private Chef was so tasty, beautifully presented and delivered to my door exactly when they promised. all the guests loved them.

Delicious fresh food delivered on time

Great catering service for our conference morning tea. Yummy food, packaged and delivered well and good comms. Thanks!

Highly recommend Your Private Chef. Ana was so lovely and responsive, and gave honest, helpful - and accurate - advice as to how much to order. It's so hard to make decisions when you are recently bereaved. Ana made it so much easier. And few caterers could do so well at such short notice, which wake's obviously are. The food was amazing - everyone said so, and wanted to know who had catered. Very grateful. Thank you all.

Ordering process was painless, food was ready when expected, of high quality, and a hit with my guests. Recommended.

The food was absolutely amazing!!! I will continue to use Ana for all my corporate events!

Fantastic fresh food, timely delivery and great presentation. Thank you so much!

Thanks for being so responsive and arranging same day delivery for an important order. Very grateful!

After getting covid for the second time, this has been a relief that the meals are done and just need to be reheated. Thank you.

Food was delivered within the stated time and the delivery agent was very polite and helpful. The lunch items we ordered were beautifully presented and got full marks from the team for taste and variety. We will definitely be using the Private Chef team again!

Hi Ana, I just wanted to thank you for the amazing food for yesterday. Everyone commented the food was really nice, I am really pleased and will happily recommend you with my colleagues and of course get more food from you in the future. I have also provided feedback from the automatic e-mail I received.
Looking forward to working with you again in the future.

Our guests kept saying that the food is amazing! My Private Chef is one of the best catering experiences we’ve had. The food was fresh, high quality, and well packaged! Well done. We’ll be using My Private Chef | Food Hugs again! - Thank you.

YPC once again delivered a fantastic service! Our company always uses YPC as the quality of food is outstanding and the customer service is second to none.

Food was fantastic, and good value for money. Thank you Ana. :)

Our guests loved the sandwiches and brownies on offer - always a delight. We always receive compliments with your catering included. Thanks for the prompt and attentive service too. We will return!

Great experience as my first order for our company. Look forward to ordering again. Michelle

The sandwiches and mini rolls were delicious. Guests loved them. Doubled the order from a similar event last year and there was nothing left - obviously very yummy! Thank you

We have ordered the sandwiches several times for work functions and they never fail to please. The flavours are fantastic and the service is excellent.

Excellent service ... love dealing with this company

We used Your Private Chef for a company family fun day in the park, to avoid cooking a BBQ for 130 people. We received great service from Ana & team, communication was clear, all dietary requirements were accounted for, the food arrived ready to eat, and it was amazing. I will definitely use Your Private Chef again.

Very efficient. Definitely recommend. I ordered after the required time for delivery expecting to receive it the week after and it came this week. Thank you so much.

Ana & David and their team are absolutely professional and have 5 Star Service
The food is 100% Fresh & Tastes Amazing
Thank you very much

All I have to say is WOW!!! Everything was delicious. I work at a Retirement village, and the residents were so impressed. This review is on behalf of myself and all the residents. We ordered the hot buffet. It arrived steaming hot, I could barely hold the trays. Everything was full of flavour. The meat was so deliciously soft. Quite possibly the best gravy I’ve ever eaten. So much food!! Thank you so much Your Private Chef 👩‍🍳 We’ll be ordering again soon 🤤

We had Your Private Chef cater for our end of year luncheon. The ordering process was easy with staff eager to assist with our inquiry. The food was delicious and delivered on time and just as ordered. I would definitely use them again. Thank you

Absolutely fabulous! Beautiful food, delivered on time and extremely tasty. Everyone at our team Christmas lunch gave Your Private Chef 5 stars - they now our go to for catering!!!

I used this wonderful small business for a work Christmas lunch. Arranging the order was easy. Communication fantastic. Delivery was spot on. Great value for money. Our staff loved the food. Totally recommend the Your Private Chef and would totally use again. Thank you, Ana & Team.

Everything was fabulous from initial contact to delivery. So professional! Food was fantastic. Highly recommended

These guys are amazing, efficient and helpful, the food is 5 star and the whole process is super easy. Highly recommend them.

Great food and great service! Thanks!

Delicious fare and so easy to order. We will be back. Lisa on behalf of Friends of RBG Melbourne

Our catering was the Burger Bar and the Jacket Potato Bar food stations for a staff event of 80 people. Everyone loved it and we received compliments all afternoon. Thank you to the Your Private Chef team on delivery of exceptional food. Regards, Bo Maticevski, RYCO Hydraulics, Derrimut VIC.

Amazingly tasty food. Everyone loved the hamburger station. Thank you for making it so easy for us. Will definitely use again. Thanks

Fabulous, Fresh, Great flavor, Efficient delivery I will definitely use this company again

Thank you for the catering for our Board meeting, Breakfast and AGM. The quality of food was 5 stars and I received many positive comments!

Ana and the team catered for our church's Christmas function last year for about 30 people and they did such a splendid job, that we asked them to help us cater again, this time for an Easter event! The food is cleverly packaged, sized for easy storage in a typical fridge and presentable enough that we were able to serve as is with just the covers removed. The food was delicious and requires minimal prep, mostly just some reheating and the instructions provided are clear and easy to follow. Ana and the team were also very helpful with providing menu options that catered for some of our guests with dietary restrictions. Only catch is that they have limited delivery times for Sundays and public holidays, so we had to work around that. Specifically on Easter, we had to collect the food on the Saturday and store it for Sunday's event. But the food kept fine overnight and nobody was any the wiser. Highly recommend their services!

Great food selections prepared in perfect portion size that are delicious. Well done - Your Private Chef

Good quality food, was delivered on time (as promised). Hassle free ordering. Totally recommend

very good food, generous serves, delivered hot and exactly on time

The fresh meals were amazing and I will be a regular customer. Many weeks later and many other trials of other providers and I can’t think of any better service and quality and flavor.

Perfect!

We used Your Private Chef for the canapes at Parliament Gardens in between our wedding ceremony and formal reception. Ana was extremely professional and organised in all our dealings before the day and I never had to follow her up, which I appreciate at such a busy time. On the day our guests commented on how fantastic and gourmet the food and refreshments. Ana also made a sign to signal our event in the public gardens, going beyond expectations. We would not hesitate to use Your Private Chef again. Excellent.

Delicious! Already reordered!

Reliable, delicious and affordable. Thank you so much for making our wedding amazing

We ordered Private Chef for the first time Christmas 2021. We were very happy with the service. Ordering was simple, food was delicious with plenty supplied. We collected food but believe there a delivery service which we will use this year.

We hired Your Private Chef as our caterer for our wedding reception. The food was delicious and the staff were attentive and friendly. Organising the menu with YPC was a breeze and I could not recommend them enough! Thank you David and Ana :)

Thank you for your excellent service. With only a few days' notice you provided quality food, to specification and on time. We particularly appreciated the allergen labelling. Thank you.

Delicious food. Nice size portions and value for money!
