Good to know
Questions, before the evening.
How does it work?
A few short questions about your evening. A person replies within 24 hours, usually the same day, with a proposal by email: chef, menu, time and one price. You confirm by replying, and we send the invoice. We handle the rest.
What do you need from our kitchen?
A working oven and hob, some fridge space and a table. We bring our own knives, pans, plates, glasses and linen. Tell us where you are staying; if it matters, we will ask for a photo of the kitchen.
Can you cook in a glass igloo or an Airbnb?
Yes, in a glass igloo, an Airbnb, a cabin or a villa. With no kitchen, often still yes: more is prepared in our kitchen and the rest is finished on our own equipment. Tell us where you are and we will say honestly what works.
Can you cook for allergies and dietary needs?
Yes. Tell us in the brief and the menu is built around them from the start. For severe allergies we will talk to you before the evening. Our kitchen handles all 14 major allergens, so we cannot promise a meal free of traces.
Do you cater for vegetarian and vegan guests?
Yes. Tell us in the brief or later, and the chef plans it into your proposal.
What about drinks?
Bring your own wine; the chef suggests pairings. Non-alcoholic pairings on request.
How much does a private chef cost in Rovaniemi?
From €900 per evening for up to 10 guests. Your proposal shows one complete price before you pay anything.
How do payment and cancellation work?
Nothing is paid on this site. Once you confirm the proposal, we send an invoice by email, payable within 14 days, and no later than 7 days before the evening. Cancel more than 14 days before and you pay nothing; later than that, 50 % of the price; within 48 hours, the full price. If we ever cancel, you pay nothing, and anything already paid comes back.
Where do you cook?
Around Rovaniemi, as far as Kemi, Ranua, Luosto, Pyhä and Pelkosenniemi. Levi and Ylläs, further out, by arrangement, with a travel fee of €1 per km beyond the area. Levi and Helsinki will follow as destinations of their own.
How fast does someone reply?
Within 24 hours, usually the same day. A real person reads every request. If you would rather talk, message or call us from any page.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you know your dates. Christmas and New Year go first; other nights often need only a few days. Ask.
Can you help with a proposal, anniversary or birthday?
Yes. Tell us in the brief, quietly if you like. We plan the timing and the table with you and keep the secret.
Do your chefs speak English?
Yes. Our chefs, Aarne and Mika, speak Finnish and English.
Do the chefs clean up?
Yes. We leave the kitchen as we found it.
Do you cater private flights?
Yes. From the same kitchen we prepare catering for private jets at Rovaniemi and Kittilä airports. Write or call us with the flight and the number of guests.
Rather talk?
A person answers on WhatsApp or by phone. Or tell us about your evening in seven short questions, one at a time.
