About Private Dining By Steele
Private Dining By Steele is a Townsville private chef service. Chef Steele brings a restaurant-style meal to your home or another private location, cooking and plating each course on site so guests can stay at the table. The host picks one menu for the group: a shared feast, a classic three courses, or a multi-course tasting menu built from seasonal produce and local suppliers, with an optional cheese course. A stand-up canapé option suits gatherings where guests mingle, and everyone receives the same dishes, adjusted for individual dietary requirements. Most of the preparation happens before Steele arrives, about an hour ahead of the booked time. He brings the plates, cutlery and utensils, sets the table, cooks in your kitchen and finishes with a thorough clean-up. The host supplies glassware and drinks, since private dining is BYO, plus any table styling, a working stove and oven and some bench space. Bookings are for lunch or dinner from Wednesday to Sunday, with a minimum of eight guests. Final numbers, menu choice and dietary details are confirmed ten days before, and a booking confirmation fee secures the date and comes off the final invoice. Steele will travel for a fee depending on the location, and custom menus can be discussed for functions outside the set options.
