The founders
We were lucky to meet Siddhi at the recent Female Founders Rise X Google event where she shared her incredible story on the panel. She set up yhangry with her friend and Canary Wharf colleague, Heinin, in 2019. What started as a side hustle alongside their careers in finance has now become one of the leading private chef platforms in the UK.
The mission
Whatever your budget, yhangry offers affordable access to the luxury of private dining. It also provides talented chefs a way break free from traditional restaurant kitchens' low-paying, high-stress environments and forge their paths as food entrepreneurs. So, spread the word to any chef-friends you may know, especially new parents looking for a more flexible way of working.
Costs to find + book your private chef
Booking a private chef can be as little as £30pp for dinner parties etc., or from £150/200 all in for meal prep. The prices depend on the type of menu, the chef’s experience, and the day you book (weekdays are more economical!)
Head online and pop in your budget, location, event, and food preferences. You can then browse and select the chef and menu you love. Your chosen chef will arrive with all the ingredients and equipment around 2 hours before serving time. They will prepare and serve your menu and clear up. Sounds amazing, doesn’t it?!
Shout out to Siddhi for being such a cheerleader for dayze and sharing her startup experiences, hints and tips with us. You are amazing!
