Hire Party Cooks for Home Celebrations

The cost of hiring a party cook depends on the number of guests, menu complexity, and duration. Generally, party cooks charge between ₹800–₹3,000 for a single event. You discuss and finalise pricing directly with the cook before booking.

Absolutely. You can share your preferred dishes, dietary restrictions, and cuisine choices with the cook. Most cooks on Cookzy are flexible and happy to accommodate custom menu requests — including veg, non-veg, Jain, and gluten-free options.

This depends on your agreement with the cook. Some party cooks bring their own ingredients (and charge accordingly), while others prefer you to provide the raw ingredients. You can clarify this directly when booking.

Yes. Many cooks on Cookzy are experienced in cooking for 20–100+ guests. During booking, mention your expected guest count so the cook can plan portions, prep time, and equipment accordingly.

We recommend booking at least 2–5 days in advance, especially for weekends or festival dates. For large parties (50+ guests), booking 7–10 days ahead ensures the cook has time to plan the menu and source ingredients.

Cookzy's party cooks specialise in a wide range of cuisines including North Indian, South Indian, Mughlai, Continental, and more. You can filter cooks by cuisine specialisation when browsing the app.

A party cook and a private chef often do similar work, though private chefs may have more formal culinary training. On Cookzy, you'll find both experienced home cooks and professionally trained chefs available for party bookings.
