Discover, book, dine.
From discovering a chef to enjoying the experience at your table — here's how it works, step by step.
Your night, end to end.
Six small steps between you and a memorable dinner at home.
Discover your chef
Browse chefs by location, cuisine, date and budget. Use AI Match for personalised recommendations, or open a profile to study menus, portfolios and reviews in full.
Choose your experience
Review the chef's menus and add-ons, customise for guest count, dietary needs and the kind of evening you have in mind, then check their calendar for an open date.
Request your booking
Submit the details — date, time, guest count, occasion. Add notes, allergy information, and anything you'd like the chef to know. The chef reviews and confirms.
Confirm and pay
Once accepted, secure the booking with a 50% deposit. The remaining 50% balance auto-charges 24 hours before the event. Messaging unlocks between you and your chef so you can finalise the menu and any specifics directly.
Enjoy the experience
Your chef arrives prepared with everything needed — ingredients, kit, the works. Sit back and enjoy a personalised dinner. The remaining balance settles through the platform.
Share your feedback
Leave a review after the event so other guests can find great chefs, and save your favourites for next time. Earn Pairly Points for every review you leave.
Cook on your own terms.
Apply in minutes, get approved by our chef team, then build your profile, set your menus and decide which nights to work. We bring the guests, handle the payments, and pay out 48 hours after every dinner.
