About this tour
A private chef cooks a full buffet dinner at your villa in Tenerife, then leaves you to serve yourselves. Perfect for birthday parties or group celebrations where you want quality food without the restaurant hassle. Chef Roberto Medda handles setup and cooking over 3 hours; you manage the serving and cleanup. Best for groups of 8–20 where self-service works and you're comfortable handling your own drinks.

What to expect
Chef Roberto arrives at your villa and spends the 3 hours preparing and plating a full buffet menu. He'll set everything out in self-service style — typically on a central table or kitchen counter — then brief you on the dishes before stepping back. You and your guests help yourselves to food and drinks throughout the evening. The chef departs once setup is complete; there's no table service or clearing during the meal, so you'll manage plates and refreshes yourselves. Cleanup is your responsibility after.
This format suits groups comfortable with casual dining and minimal formality. It works well in villa settings with decent kitchen access and enough space for guests to move around a buffet line. Timing is flexible within the 3-hour window — you can eat earlier or linger, but the chef leaves once their cooking is done.

Good to know
Ideal for close-knit groups celebrating together in a villa — you get professional food quality without restaurant constraints or table-service cost. Works best if your party is happy to serve themselves and oversee their own logistics. Practical things to flag: no waitstaff means you're responsible for clearing plates and managing drinks throughout — plan for that. Drinks are your own (BYO or local shop), so factor in alcohol and soft-drink costs. The self-service model works fine for 8–20 people; beyond that, coordination gets trickier. Venue must have decent kitchen space for the chef to work and enough room for guests to gather around a buffet. Check with Roberto about any dietary restrictions early — menu flexibility isn't explicitly mentioned. Inclusions: buffet setup and food only. Not included: table staff, drinks, post-meal cleanup.
