Exciting news! Sleeps12 have teamed up with Yhangry, making it easy for you to book private chefs for your large group holiday or celebration. This is something that’s very popular for a very special holiday or celebration feast; it’s great for birthdays, anniversaries, hen parties, festivities, and for corporate hospitality. Book your chosen chef for a one-off event or for private catering throughout your stay.
We want your group stay with Sleeps12 to be an unforgettable experience, so we pull all the stops out to help make it extra special. That’s why we’re working with Yhangry, bringing private chefs to your large group holiday house for an amazing dining experience – a great way to celebrate special birthdays and anniversaries, or just the joy of being together.
We are proud of the kind of holidays and short breaks we offer; our portfolio of luxury large group accommodation in the UK comes with fantastic features like swimming pools, hot tubs, saunas, games rooms, movie rooms, year round BBQ lodges and play areas. But we don’t just leave it at that – we recommend things to see and do, places to visit, and all those extra that make your stay one you’ll always remember – entertainment, pampering, activities, florists and private catering. And that’s where Yhangry come in, bringing you affordable access to talented chefs for a celebration dinner, an awesome Sunday roast, a humdinger of a breakfast to kick start your day, afternoon teas, BBQs, even picnics! If you really want to push the boat out you can hire a chef for a fully catered stay.
Bringing people together to share delicious food is one of the best things in life, gathered around a big table, tucking in with those you love most in the world. It’s about the smiles, the laughter, the chit-chat; it’s about creating amazing memories. This is the ethos at the heart of what Yhangry do.
Founded in 2019, Yhangry now work with over 1,000 chefs across the UK, ranging from entrepreneurs, the Michelin trained and the Masterchefs. Some have a very impressive client list, all have a huge passion for creating incredible food that has your taste buds dancing with delight. From fine dining to casual BBQs, from Modern European, Italian and Pan Asian to Mexican, Japanese and Caribbean, between them they can offer it all.
Apart from giving their customers a unique private dining experience, Yhangry gives selected chefs the opportunity to do what they really want to do; the catering world is hard to break into – getting to be a household name is like wanting to be a professional footballer or a pop star, so this is great for talented chefs who might otherwise be stuck in low paid jobs in pubs and restaurants. They create their own menus, they set their own prices, they choose the area they want to cover.
The way it works is simple. Use the search facility on the Yhangry website to find a chef near to your large group holiday house and get a quote. You enter the type of event you’re planning, the kind of cuisine you want, the number of guests, any dietary preferences and ideally a date. The system then matches with you with suitable chefs who all send you a quote with a menu proposal; choose the chef you want and contact them to chat further. Alternatively, you can browse chefs in your selected area, be it Somerset, Devon, Wiltshire, Surrey, Herefordshire, East Sussex or Gloucestershire, and send direct quotes.
Once you’re happy with it all, you’ll need to confirm the quote through the platform and pay in full, or a leave a 10% deposit with the balance due 1 month before the event. If you want to make changes to the number of guests you can easily do so via your Yhangry account on the website. For insurance purposes, you need to let us know who you've booked and when they're coming.
Bringing a private chef to your holiday home is such a special thing to do, it’s a wonderful way to mark an occasion. Dress the table, set the scene, then dress yourselves and gather together for champagne or cocktails while your private chef does all the work in the kitchen; it saves you time and stress and allows you to enjoy every moment with your favourite people. When your bellies are full, go and sit comfy, leaving your chef to clear away and clean up – it’s all part of the service.
Yhangry is proving to be very popular, so you’d be wise to book as early as you can, especially for events around holiday and festive times. But that’s okay, plan ahead, make it extra special, stack up the memories.
