Private Dinners

Chef Ben Schade offers fully plated dinners for up to 10 people, following all current COVID-19 safety precautions. Pricing for all dinners is based on the number of courses and dishes served. Ben is flexible and can also plan more casual dinners with only a few courses, or a more complex dinner for an optimal dining group of six. Schadey Acres also offers custom options for drop off and heat up dinners.

Ben consults with each client to develop the menu, going over likes, dislikes, food allergies, and the design of the dinner itself. He provides his own plateware and equipment; parties are requested to provide their own flatware and table setting. Ben is happy to advise on a drinks menu, but parties are asked to provide their own beverages for the dinner as an extra precaution. Pairings can be arranged for an additional fee upon request. 

In these COVID times, Ben sanitizes his kitchen multiple times per day, practices all food service safety precautions himself, uses a sanitizing dishwasher, and an air ionizer that has been added to his personal HVAC system. When cooking in a client’s house he requests that the kitchen has been sanitized prior to his arrival and that the house is a COVID-safe space to be in, with masks and hand sanitizer in use except when dining. Guests are preferably sat in a separate room from the kitchen, however, all accommodations and precautions are discussed on the pre-dinner planning calls as each dinner is distinct.
