Private Chef Services and Small Event Catering
Hi there! I’m Chef Stuart Gates, a Carolina-based private chef with decades of experience cooking across Charleston, Charlotte, Cajun Country, and Florida’s Gulf Coast. I specialize in in-home private dining experiences, crafting custom menus for everything from vacation rentals and intimate dinner parties to anniversaries, birthdays, small rehearsal dinners and weddings, and other special celebrations.
Whether you’re hosting guests, celebrating a milestone, or simply want to enjoy a restaurant-quality meal without stepping into the kitchen, I handle every detail—from menu planning and sourcing fresh, seasonal ingredients to cooking, service, and clean-up. Each menu is thoughtfully designed to accommodate dietary preferences and restrictions, ensuring a memorable, stress-free dining experience tailored entirely to you.
Planning an event and want the food to be just as memorable as the occasion? I offer small event catering services for intimate gatherings, private parties, corporate lunches, cocktail receptions, and celebrations throughout the Carolinas and surrounding areas.
My approach to catering is hands-on and highly personalized, with chef-driven menus that highlight fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and polished presentation. From menu design to execution, I work closely with you to create a seamless experience that fits your event style, guest count, and budget—so you can focus on hosting while I take care of the food.
I'd love to carve out some time to talk about what you'd like to be eating. Everyone's tastes and styles are unique, and I look forward to customizing a menu that's perfect for you and your event.
Drop me a line!
