Become a private chef
UpChef is the marketplace where talented chefs in United Kingdom build a private-chef business on their own terms. Whether you're a restaurant professional looking for a side income, a caterer ready to scale, or a home cook turning your passion into a career, UpChef gives you the platform, the clients, and the tools — without taking a cut of your work.
There are no application fees, no monthly subscription, and no commission. You set your menus, your prices, and your schedule. Clients across United Kingdom find you, book you, and pay securely through the app, and the full amount lands in your account. The only thing we ask is that you cook food people remember.
Your income is entirely yours to shape. Private chefs on UpChef set their own per-guest or per-event pricing, so a single dinner party, corporate lunch, or weekend of meal prep can be worth anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand — and because we take 0% commission, you keep every penny. Build a roster of regular clients and repeat bookings, and private cheffing in United Kingdom becomes a real, sustainable business rather than an occasional gig.
UpChef chefs in United Kingdom come from every corner of the food world. What they share is craft, reliability, and a love of cooking for real people in real homes.
Searching for private chef jobs in United Kingdom? UpChef isn't an employer and these aren't shift jobs — it's better. You work for yourself, choose which bookings to accept, and earn directly from clients with no commission taken out. It's the flexibility of freelance private-chef work with a steady stream of real bookings, in whichever cities of United Kingdom you want to cook.
Most platforms take 15–30% of everything you make. UpChef takes nothing from chefs — ever. We believe the person who planned the menu, sourced the ingredients, cooked the meal, and cleaned the kitchen should be paid in full for it. That choice isn't a promotion or a trial; it's how UpChef works, in United Kingdom and everywhere we operate.
Every completed booking earns you verified reviews and a public chef profile clients can share. Your page on UpChef becomes your portfolio — your menus, your signature dishes, your ratings — working for you around the clock to attract higher-value bookings across United Kingdom.
Private dining is booming across the UK. In London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Birmingham and beyond, clients increasingly want a restaurant-quality experience at home — for dinner parties, milestone birthdays, corporate entertaining, and supper clubs. That demand has outgrown the handful of agencies that historically controlled it, and chefs are tired of handing over 20–30% to a middleman for a booking they did the work on.
UpChef gives UK chefs a direct line to those clients. You build a public profile, list your menus and day rates, and take bookings straight from people in your area — no agency markup, no exclusivity clauses, and no commission. Whether you trained in a Michelin kitchen, run a catering company, or built a following through pop-ups, your reputation is yours to monetise.
UK private chefs typically charge per head for dinner parties and per day for events or in-residence work, with rates rising sharply for fine-dining menus, larger guest counts, and last-minute availability. A single weekend of private dinners in a city like London can rival a week's restaurant wage — and because UpChef takes 0% commission, the full fee is yours. Add repeat clients and referrals, and a private-chef business in the UK becomes genuinely sustainable rather than a side hustle.
Earnings vary by service and market. Many UpChef chefs earn the equivalent of $500–$2,000+ per event depending on guest count and menu.
