The Everard Table Private Chef
Long-established private chefs whose name travels by word of mouth, who cook from local farms and want the website to carry the reputation they already have.
Private chef website examples: four designs for chefs who cook in clients' homes
Four finished websites for private chefs: the chef who has cooked the valley's seasons for twenty years, the tasting-menu chef with a menu you compose course by course, the live-fire cook who runs the whole evening outdoors, and the booking machine with a price per guest and open dates. Click through any of them, then order the one that fits.
MigrateLab builds high-performing websites for local businesses. Fixed price, live in 7 working days, fast on mobile, and yours to keep.
B. Premium design-led$2,320 fixed
Suppertide Private Dining
Private chefs with fine dining kitchens behind them who cook tasting menus for small groups and want the site to feel like the restaurant they left.
C. Bold and industrial$1,920 fixed
Coalhouse Fire Kitchen
Live-fire and outdoor private chefs who bring their own rig to the venue and sell the whole evening, not just the plates.
D. Lead machine$2,320 fixed
Dinnerwell Private Chefs
Private chef teams and busy solo chefs who get most enquiries from phones late at night and want each one to arrive with a date, a guest count and a budget.
You get the design you pick, made into your own site
Every demo on this page is a real layout we rebuild for you. The structure, the sections and the special feature stay as you see them. Your name, logo, colours, photos and wording replace ours, so it looks like it was always yours, and no other business in your area gets the same site.
Stays as you see it
- The layout and page structure, section by section
- The special feature, like the map, calculator or booking calendar
- How it looks and works on a phone, and how fast it loads
- Type and spacing tuned so it still looks designed
Becomes yours
- Your business name and logo. No logo yet? We set your name in a clean wordmark
- Your brand colours, applied across buttons, headings and backgrounds
- Your photos, or licensed photos chosen for your trade
- Your services, prices, service area, team and reviews
- Your phone, email, address and domain
Want a section from another design, or one moved or left out? Put it in your notes. Small changes like that are included.
People hire a private chef for a birthday, a villa week, an anniversary or a board dinner, and they decide on three things: the food, the chef and whether the date is free. Most private chefs send menus as PDFs, take bookings through Instagram messages and quote every evening from scratch, so the enquiry that comes in at 11pm waits until morning.
The four sites below sell a private chef four different ways. One sells a long reputation and a menu that follows the seasons. One sells a tasting menu the guest composes before they enquire. One sells a live-fire evening with the whole night laid out hour by hour. One is a lead machine with a price per guest calculator and an availability calendar. Every one is real, responsive and ready to rebuild around your kitchen.
Each design, in detail
A. Heritage and trust
The Everard Table Private Chef
Twenty-two years of cooking the Tarrow valley’s seasons, in your kitchen.
$1,520 fixed, 7 working days
Who it suits. Long-established private chefs whose name travels by word of mouth, who cook from local farms and want the website to carry the reputation they already have.
Why it converts.
- The month selector shows a guest exactly what they would eat on their date, which a PDF menu never can
- Price per guest, the minimum and the eight week summer lead time sit in the hero, so the right guests enquire early and the wrong ones do not waste an evening
- Naming the farms turns "seasonal" from a claim into something a guest can check, which is what a long reputation is built on
What we swap for your business. Your name and years, your family or team, your suppliers and what they grow each month, your sample menus, price per guest, minimum party and travel area. The table mark is redrawn around your initial.
- Palette
- LinenDeep oliveClaretButterInk
- Type
- Cormorant Garamond for headings, Karla for text
- Logo
- A round table seen from above as a plate ring, a sprig of wheat laid across it, with the Everard name set in italic serif and the year 2004
- Sections
- Hero with a candlelit farmhouse table, the 22 years, price per guest and the booking lead time. Ruth and Owen: mother in the kitchen, son running service. A year at the table: month selector with what is in season, a four-course sample menu and the farms it comes from. The farms we buy from, named, with what each one grows. How the evening runs, from the shopping trip to the clean kitchen. What it costs: from $145 per guest, minimum 6, what is included. Sample guest letters. Allergies, diets and where Ruth will travel. Ask for a date form.
B. Premium design-led
Suppertide Private Dining
A tasting menu for your table, composed before we arrive.
$2,320 fixed, 7 working days
Who it suits. Private chefs with fine dining kitchens behind them who cook tasting menus for small groups and want the site to feel like the restaurant they left.
Why it converts.
- Guests compose their own tasting menu before they write, so the enquiry that arrives already has five dishes, an occasion and a pairing choice
- The price per guest and the four guest minimum sit in plain sight, which filters out the wrong enquiries before they reach the chef
- Quiet editorial photography of real plates sells the cooking the way a restaurant review would, without adjectives
What we swap for your business. Your dishes and seasons in the menu composer, your plates and table photography, your price per guest and pairing, and your own story from the kitchens you trained in. The wordmark is reset in your name.
- Palette
- BoneCharcoalPersimmonFog blue
- Type
- Bodoni Moda for headings, Work Sans for text
- Logo
- High-contrast lowercase serif wordmark set wide, with a small persimmon half circle for the mark, like a sun sitting on a waterline
- Sections
- Split hero: a still candle-lit table beside a short statement and the per guest price. The chef: Ines Barreau, two starred kitchens and why she left them. Compose your menu: five courses, three options each, rendered live as a printed menu card. Four plates from this season as an editorial gallery. How an evening runs, from the first call to the last glass. Prices and terms: tasting menu, wine pairing, minimum guests. Sample words from guests. Enquiry form carrying the composed menu.
C. Bold and industrial
Coalhouse Fire Kitchen
We tow the fire to your table.
$1,920 fixed, 7 working days
Who it suits. Live-fire and outdoor private chefs who bring their own rig to the venue and sell the whole evening, not just the plates.
Why it converts.
- The hour-by-hour night shows a host exactly what their evening will look like, which is the thing they cannot picture from a menu PDF
- Price per guest, the 10 guest minimum and the 90 mile radius sit in the first screen, so enquiries arrive already qualified
- Burn bans and wind are answered before anyone asks, which removes the biggest worry about hiring an open-fire cook
What we swap for your business. Your rig, your fuel, your hour-by-hour evening and temperatures, your menus, crew, price per guest and travel radius. The grate mark is recoloured to your brand.
- Palette
- SootEmberAshBoneIron
- Type
- Barlow Condensed for headings, Barlow for text
- Logo
- A square iron grate mark with three rising flame bars cut through it, heavy condensed COALHOUSE wordmark with FIRE KITCHEN spaced beneath
- Sections
- Hero: full-bleed fire photo, the price per guest, minimum, rig included and travel radius on one strip. The night, hour by hour: interactive timeline from 4pm fire lit to 11pm embers, with what is on the fire, the fire temperature and a photo for each hour. The rig: what arrives on the trailer, piece by piece. Three dinners from last season: a vineyard, a ranch, a backyard, with menus and headcounts. The crew: the founder story and the five people who run the fire. The price: $185 per guest, what it covers, what it does not, three worked examples. Burn bans, wind and rain: the practical questions, answered. Sample reviews. Hold a date form.
D. Lead machine
Dinnerwell Private Chefs
Six chefs, one city, your kitchen tonight.
$2,320 fixed, 7 working days
Who it suits. Private chef teams and busy solo chefs who get most enquiries from phones late at night and want each one to arrive with a date, a guest count and a budget.
Why it converts.
- The total for your evening updates as you move the guest slider, so nobody has to email to find out what dinner for ten costs
- Open and booked evenings sit right under the price, so the enquiry arrives with a date that is actually free
- The booking request carries the guest count, menu level and add-ons with it, so the chef can confirm in one reply
What we swap for your business. Your chefs, menus, per guest prices, add-ons, open dates and service area. The plate mark is recoloured to your brand.
- Palette
- Warm whiteTomatoBasilInkPeach
- Type
- Bricolage Grotesque for headings, Nunito Sans for text
- Logo
- A tomato-red round plate with a basil leaf on it, next to a heavy lowercase wordmark
- Sections
- Sticky header with phone and a Price my dinner button. Hero with the three per guest prices, a sample total and the rating. What the price includes: shopping, cooking, serving, cleanup. Price per guest calculator: guests, menu level, server and wine pairing, live total. Date strip with open and booked evenings and the booking request form. Three menu levels with sample menus. The occasions: birthdays, anniversaries, family dinners, work dinners. How the evening runs, hour by hour. The six chefs. Sample reviews with a rating. Where we cook in the metro. FAQ. Final call to action, sticky mobile price and call bar.

Why MigrateLab
Why have us build it instead of a builder or an agency
You own it outright
The site is real code on your own hosting account, not a page inside a builder you rent. Leave us any time and take everything with you.
No platform subscription
Wix, Squarespace and Webflow charge every month forever. Hosting for a site like this costs a few dollars a month under your own account.
Built by people who do migrations for a living
MigrateLab moves company websites off closed platforms onto clean code. Small business sites are the same craft with less to move.
Fixed price, fixed week
The price on this page is the price. The week is the week. If we slip, you get a discount, not an excuse.
Fast on a phone, found on Google
Every site ships with the search basics done and a mobile score we are happy to show you. Most agency sites fail both.
AI can edit it, and so can you
Because it is plain code, tools like Claude and Cursor can change it in seconds. You also get a normal editor for everyday text and photo changes.
After launch
Editing and maintenance, made clear
Three ways to keep the site current after launch. Pick one at handover, switch later if you change your mind.
Edit it yourself
$0 per month
You get a simple editor for text, photos, services, reviews and service areas. Hosting runs under your own account for a few dollars a month. No contract with us.
- +Editor login for your team
- +Hosting under your own account
- +Written handover guide
- +Email support for 30 days
Care plan
$63 per month
We host it, watch it and change it for you. Send an email with the change, it is live within one working day. Cancel any month.
- +Hosting, backups and uptime monitoring
- +Unlimited small edits: text, photos, prices, hours, reviews
- +Security and dependency updates
- +A monthly note with visits, calls and form leads
Let AI edit it
$0 per month
The code is clean enough that Claude Code or Cursor can add a page, change a section or swap a photo from a plain English request. We set it up and show you how.
- +Repository handed over to you
- +AI tooling configured
- +One recorded walkthrough
- +Bigger changes quoted per job
Questions
How much does a private chef website cost?
From us, $1,520 to $2,320 as a fixed, one-time price, depending on which of the four designs you pick, live in 7 working days. That includes the design rebuilt around your business, the copy, forms, search basics and connecting your domain. After launch you can edit it yourself for $0 a month or have us look after it for $63 a month. For comparison, agencies typically quote $3,000 to $10,000 for a small business site, and builder subscriptions run $20 to $50 a month for as long as the site exists.
Will my site look exactly like the demo?
It keeps the same design, layout and structure, and the same special feature. Everything that is ours becomes yours: your name and logo, your brand colours, your photos, services, prices and contact details. Small changes, like borrowing a section from another design or leaving one out, are included in the fixed price.
Who can build a website for my private chef?
MigrateLab builds websites for private chef owners. Pick one of four finished designs at migratelab.com/examples/private-chef-websites, send your logo, photos and details, and we rebuild it around your business for a fixed $1,520 to $2,320, live in 7 working days. You own the site, there is no platform subscription, and you can edit it yourself or have us look after it.
Can I get a private chef website without a monthly platform fee?
Yes. A MigrateLab site is yours outright and runs on your own hosting for a few dollars a month, instead of a $20 to $50 monthly builder plan. You pay a one-time $1,520 to $2,320 for the build, and a care plan at $63 a month is optional if you want us to make changes for you.
Are these real websites or just designs?
Real. Each concept is a complete, responsive website you can click through on any device. The businesses are fictional so you can see the design with realistic content, but the code and layout are exactly what you would receive.
Can guests book a date and see a price before they message me?
Yes. We build a price per guest calculator and an availability calendar you update yourself, so the enquiry that reaches you already has the date, the number of guests and a budget.
I run everything from Instagram and word of mouth. Do I need a website?
Most private chefs we talk to have been getting by on Instagram, WhatsApp or referrals from villa managers. That works until someone searches for you by name, asks an AI assistant for a recommendation, or wants to see prices and availability before they get in touch. A site you own answers all of that, ranks in search, and does not disappear when a platform changes its rules.
What happens after I pick one?
You send your logo if you have one, photos, your services and prices, and how people book today. We rebuild the site around your business and send a private preview within a week. One round of changes, then it goes live on your domain.
Will I be able to edit it myself?
Yes. Text, photos, prices and availability are editable without touching code. Or pick the care plan and text or email us the change.
What does it cost per month?
Nothing to us unless you choose the care plan. Hosting under your own account is a few dollars a month. There is no platform subscription.
Get one of these built for you
Pick the design, leave your email, and we reply within one working day with a plan and a written confirmation of the price. Live in 7 working days from the day we have your basics.
