1. Why Most Chefs Are Undercharging
There’s no official rate card for chefs in the UK. What you’re paid often depends on what you ask for—and most chefs ask blind.
- Agencies rarely disclose full rate ranges:
- Pay varies wildly across regions and roles:
- Employers may not update rates until pushed:
Without proper context, chefs often:
- Set rates too low:
- Accept less than they’re worth:
- Miss out on better-paying gigs:

- Regional rate comparison (your county vs. national):
