Great kitchens are powered by great chefs. That’s why the Bookachef platform was built: to connect hospitality venues with experienced, reliable chefs, quickly and transparently. 

Our platform features a growing database of chefs available for both short- and long-term role across the UK. Every chef is rated and reviewed by hospitality venues, so clients can book with confidence. From viewing availability and skillsets to checking pay rates, everything is upfront. No hidden costs, no surprises, just chefs that are ready to work and deliver. 

But Bookachef is more than smart staffing kitchen solutions - it’s about community.

This Summer, we wanted to give something back to the incredible chefs who keep kitchens running every day, often under pressure and without applause. On Tuesday, 1st July, we hosted our first-ever Cheers to the Chefs evening at Chester Market, an evening of free beers, good conversation and appreciation for the chefs who’ve worked with us, and those thinking about joining the platform.

Following the success of the first event, we brought the celebration to Altrincham Market on Tuesday, 29th July, where once again, the beers flowed and connections were made. It was another fantastic evening that reminded us just how strong and passionate the UK chef community really is.

Not on the platform yet? There’s never been a better time to join. Signing up gives you access to flexible, well-paid kitchen roles that suit your schedule, plus invitations to events like Cheers to the Chefs where you can meet others in the trade and be part of something bigger.

We’ll be sending out invites to the next Cheers to the Chef evening very soon. Until then, from all of us at Bookachef, thank you. The kitchen doesn’t run without youand we’re here to support you every step of the way.
