Do you need staff over Christmas?

A Christmas Chef could save you a minimum of 8-10 hours on preparing, cooking, and clearing up afterwards leaving you feeling more relaxed and give you that all important time back. We have Christmas Chef options to suit every budget with the menu planning, shopping, cooking and clearing away all included in the price. We can even help with Christmas Butler or Christmas Hospitality Staff.

If however, you love nothing more than to get involved with the cooking over Christmas, maybe you could use help in other areas. A Housekeeper could make this festive period a joy whether you need assistance over the whole festive period or just an extra pair of hands during the busy Christmas break.

Have you got family and friends with children coming to stay? We can help you with Christmas holiday childcare, or finding a nanny for Christmas.

Are you looking for work over Christmas?

Jobs for the Christmas and New Year season are already coming in! If you are planning to work over Christmas, or at any point during the festive holidays, do update your availability with your consultant as soon as you can. Christmas chef jobs, Christmas nanny jobs, Christmas catering jobs, and more are all available.

It’s a great idea to get your forward planning done, as the days get busier, but also shorter! Let us know where you stand reworking this coming holiday and then we can fill these super jobs with the very best candidates possible!

Christmas gift idea?

Have you ever struggled to buy that special person in your life something they will genuinely appreciate and enjoy? Do you know anyone who loves to entertain and goes out of their way to make everyone else happy? Why not give them the ultimate present this Christmas…..a Chef to make their culinary dreams come true!

Our Chefs and Cooks suit a range of budgets and styles and the service makes the ideal gift, as it is the perfect package, with the menu planning, shopping, cooking, and clearing away all included in the price. We can arrange dates to suit and it does not necessarily have to be over Christmas – perhaps your special someone deserves a rest after the hectic festive period and would prefer to have a wonderful dinner party when all the chaos of the season has abated. Plus, there will be a greater selection of Chefs available after the busy seasonal rush.
