How it Works
We take care of everything:
Shopping – Utilizing our relationships with the best farmers, fish mongers, butchers and artisanal producers, we procure all of the ingredients to create your memorable feast. We use local and organic produce from Cape Cod’s finest growers. Our fish and shellfish come from Mac’s Seafood Market in Wellfleet & Truro, purveyors of the freshest seafood on the Outer Cape. We serve only grass-fed beef and lamb and free-range poultry from small family farms in the Northeast, where meat is raised humanely, with no antibiotics and hormones. Finally, we search New England for world class farmhouse cheeses and artisanal specialty products to help support local farmers and help keep our beautiful countryside green.
Cooking – All of the initial preparation of your meal is done in our own kitchen, allowing us to arrive at your home a few hours before your meal and take care of all of the details. We bring our own equipment, linens, china, stemware and silverware. If you and your guests would like to observe some of the preparations, we are happy to share some of our cooking secrets and recipes. Or, keep it all a carefree mystery and enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in the comfort of your home while we are busy at work. We can prepare a typical three course meal or an extravagant multi-course tasting menu.
Serving - All of the courses are individually plated in your kitchen. If you would like, Chef Jay will serve each course, briefly describe the dish and be available to answer questions about the ingredients and the preparation. We can offer wine suggestions or select and procure appropriate wines to compliment each course. And of course no CHESTER meal would be complete without CHESTER cookies.
Cleaning-up –Most likely, you are on vacation. So, we handle all of the clean up, allowing you to relax and enjoy the company of your guests.
Additional Services
Waiter/Bartender – With advanced notice, we can arrange for a waiter to serve drinks and hors d’oeuvres as you guest gather and provide even more attentive service during the meal.
Cocktails & Hors d’oeuvres – Make it a complete evening with custom hors d’oeuvres, a raw bar and specialty cocktails.
Cooking Classes – Have you always wanted to know how to make those individual chocolate cakes with the hot molten center? Do you have a bunch of foodie friends who are looking to expand their repertoire? Make the evening a cooking class, where you get to eat the fruits of your labors!
Tasting Menu – You just can’t choose between the Curried Crab with Watermelon and the “deconstructed Caesar Salad” or the Striped Bass and the Grilled Lamb? Have it all with your very own tasting menu of CHESTER Classics.
