Private chef in Kalkan
A chef in your villa kitchen, dinner served at your table, and the washing-up done before you finish your coffee.
Dinner at your villa, without the work
A private chef turns a villa holiday into a proper break. Instead of shopping, cooking and clearing up, you choose a menu, tell us the date and the number of guests, and our chef arrives with everything needed to cook it fresh in your villa kitchen. Dinner is served at your table, by the pool or on the terrace, and the kitchen is left clean when we go. It is the easiest way to enjoy a villa with a private chef in Turkey without booking a fully staffed villa.
Menus from Kalkan and far beyond
Our chefs come from different cities across Türkiye and cook both home-style Anatolian dishes and menus from around the Mediterranean and further away: Greek mezze, Italian antipasti and grill, Indian curries, Spanish tapas and paella, Thai, French bistro classics and more. Every menu is a full meal for the whole table, from starters to dessert, and you can see what is included and the price per person before you book.
BBQ nights by the pool
Many guests book their chef for a BBQ night. Our Turkish mangal sets bring Adana kebab, şiş, köfte, lamb chops or seafood with meze, warm lavaş from the grill and künefe, and with Build Your Own BBQ you add the grill portions you want. A £10 charcoal charge is added to each BBQ night.
Planned around your guests
Tell us about allergies and preferences when you send your request. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free guests can be looked after at the same table, and we can adapt dishes for children. If you are staying for a week, you can book several dinners and let the chef rotate the menus so every evening feels different.

Questions about private chef
How much does a private chef in Kalkan cost?
You pay the price per person of the menu you choose, plus the chef service of £10 per person. The minimum order is £150 (£100 for breakfast-only orders), so most groups reach it easily. You can see every menu and its price on our website before you book.
Does the chef bring the food and do the shopping?
Yes. Our team buys fresh ingredients for your menu, cooks in your villa kitchen, serves at the table and clears up afterwards.
Can the chef cook for vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free guests?
Yes. Tell us how many guests have dietary needs when you order and we plan the menu around them. Please mention coeliac disease or severe allergies so we can take extra care.
How far in advance should I book a private chef?
For dinners and small groups a few days is often enough. In July and August, and for larger groups, book as early as you can to secure your date.
Do you also send a private chef to villas in Kaş?
Yes. We regularly cook at villas in Kaş as well as Kalkan. See our private chef in Kaş page, or send us your villa location on WhatsApp.
