What planners usually like:

  • Verify what's included in their pricing (staff service, rentals, beverages, desserts) since rates are custom-quoted

Common questions

How much advance notice does Chef SVP typically need for event planning?

Most professional chefs in Lyon require 2-4 weeks minimum for custom menu development and ingredient sourcing, though availability may depend on your event size and complexity. Contact them directly at +33 6 79 80 29 88 to discuss your specific timeline and see if they can accommodate shorter notice.

Can Chef SVP accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies?

Yes, as a personal chef service, dietary accommodation is a core part of their customization process. When you contact them, be prepared to provide detailed information about all dietary restrictions, allergies, and preferences so they can design a menu that works for your guests.

What's the difference between their "home-based" and "mobile" catering services?

Home-based catering typically involves the chef preparing food in your own kitchen and serving at your residence, while mobile catering means the chef brings equipment and prepares food on-site at your venue. Mobile catering is useful when your venue has limited kitchen facilities, but requires you to discuss space, utilities, and setup logistics beforehand.

Does Chef SVP provide service staff, or are they just handling food preparation?

This is an important detail to clarify directly with them, as some personal chefs focus solely on cooking while others offer full service including plating, table service, and cleanup. Contact them to understand what's included in their standard offering versus what's optional.

How does pricing work if my guest count changes closer to the event date?

Since Chef SVP uses contact-based pricing, changes to guest count, menu selections, or service scope will typically affect your final quote. Establish clear pricing parameters and cancellation/modification policies during your initial consultation to avoid surprises.

Are beverages (wine, cocktails, non-alcoholic drinks) included in their catering service?

Beverage service varies by caterer—some include it, others provide recommendations or mark-ups, and some expect you to source beverages separately. Ask specifically whether they offer wine pairing suggestions, can source beverages, or if you're responsible for that component.
