Your stay, your table

A private chef at your Sanur villa

Sanur doesn't do spectacle, and that's why people love it. The east-coast beach town runs at a gentler pace: calmer water, morning walks on the promenade, and villas full of families, grandparents, parents, grandkids, staying a fortnight rather than a weekend.

Alongside them, a settled expat community that treats Bali as home, not holiday. The cooking they want matches: consistent, generous, and considerate of everyone at the table.

A myCHEF private chef in Sanur cooks gentle, classic menus, handmade pasta, fresh reef fish, traditional Balinese, and weekly meal plans that quietly handle three generations of dietary preferences at once.

Breakfast dishes and fresh fruit at a dining table
01

The venue and access

For a residential villa, check the kitchen equipment you will actually have during the stay, including fridge space shared with the household. Let us know about accessible seating, high chairs and any distance between the kitchen and garden dining area. The plan should suit all generations using the house.

02

The meal plan and timing

If guests have different morning plans, decide on one breakfast sitting or a defined service window. Packed food for an outing needs its own storage and timing discussion. For the evening, earlier children’s plates can be planned alongside the family meal instead of creating several unplanned cooking sessions.

Cancellations fewer than 7 days before forfeit the 50% deposit; any balance already paid is refunded. Review the written scope and cancellation policy before payment.
Enquire as soon as your dates and property are known. Share the kitchen, access details and meal schedule; availability and the written service scope are confirmed before booking. Larger celebrations, specialist equipment and several days of meals benefit from an early brief. A reply to an enquiry does not itself reserve a team or guarantee the requested menu.
Ask the owner or manager to confirm external-chef permission, usable kitchen facilities and supplier access. A rental booking does not automatically allow outside catering or an event. Send kitchen photographs, the property contact and any guest restrictions so the menu and equipment can be reviewed before confirmation.
Share allergies, religious dietary requirements and preferences before the menu is approved. The kitchen and ingredient plan must be reviewed, particularly for a serious allergy or shared preparation space. We confirm feasible alternatives and any scope changes in advance; an allergen-free environment cannot be assumed from a menu description.
Tell us the children’s ages, preferences and proposed meal time alongside the adults’ schedule. An earlier sitting can be discussed as part of the agreed service hours and menu. See children’s menu ideas and flag high chairs or other venue requirements separately.
One lunch, dinner or party is quoted as catering, with food included according to the chosen scope. The full-day stay-chef rate is a different service. For a celebration, share the resident and visiting guest counts, venue permission, drinks requirements and service times.
A multi-course meal should be matched to the available kitchen, table space and serving route. Send the occasion, guest count and time you want at the table. Browse fine dining formats as ideas, then confirm the menu, staffing and any additional rentals for your property.

Published stay discounts are 10% for 7+ days and 20% for 28+ days, applied to the full-day chef-service rate. Groceries and separately quoted services remain additional. See stay-chef prices for the current booking model.
Send the programme, property, guest counts and the meals you want. Corporate retreat planning covers the wider company stay; corporate retreat catering focuses on daily food. Other retreat groups can discuss retreat meals around their session schedule.
Browse private experiences to identify the idea, then share the property and number of participants. A villa cooking class needs suitable working space and equipment. Availability and the exact format are confirmed against the venue rather than assumed from a location listing.
Send dates, guest count, the exact villa location, kitchen photographs, preferred meals and dietary requirements. Include any party, extra staff or equipment in the same brief. If you are still choosing a property, explain that first so the team can identify what must be confirmed before pricing the final scope.
Tell the coordinator as soon as you know. Changes can affect ingredients, staffing, transport and rentals, so any revised scope or cost should be confirmed in writing. Extra guests, additional meals and longer service hours are subject to availability and are not automatically covered by the original quote.
