Personal Chef for NC Mountain Vacations
You found the cabin with the view. Everyone is together, and you shouldn't have to drive down the mountain for groceries or spend the trip at the stove.
The Travelling Cafe is a personal and private chef collective based in Chapel Hill. We come to the mountains for cabin weekends, ski trips, family reunions and retreats.
Where we cook
Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Beech and Sugar Mountain, Asheville and the High Country.
We cooked daily meals and evening dinner parties for a multi-day women's retreat in Boone. We can plan that kind of week with you.
- Daily meals for the whole stay, or just the meals you want covered.
- Evening dinner parties at the house.
- Every dietary need in the group, from GLP-1 and AIP to low-FODMAP and allergies.
What it costs
The same rates as when we cook at home, plus travel and accommodations when necessary.
How it works
- Tell us about the trip. Where you are staying, how many people and how many days.
- Plan the menu. We gather every diet and allergy in the group and build the menu with you.
- Enjoy the trip. Your chef shops, cooks, serves and cleans up.
Reserve your Date Now Tell us about your trip
Your $500 deposit holds your date and goes toward your final bill. The rest is invoiced once the days, travel and lodging are set.
Without a chef, a mountain weekend can mean grocery runs on winding roads and a sink full of dishes. With a chef from the collective, your group can sit down together at the table by the fire and come home rested.
Frequently asked questions
Where do you travel?
We travel to the North Carolina mountains, including Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Beech and Sugar Mountain and Asheville. Tell us where you are headed and we will let you know.
How much does vacation cooking cost?
The same rates as when we cook at home, plus travel and accommodations when necessary.
Can you cook for a big group or a retreat?
Yes. Because we are a collective, we can cook for a large group, a multi-day retreat, or two houses on the same weekend.
Can you cook for everyone's dietary needs?
Yes. Every chef in the collective cooks for medically restricted diets and allergies, and every dietary need is the same price. We cook the plan your care team set. We don't give medical advice.
