Eating healthy in Edinburgh shouldn’t be your second job.

Edinburgh has farmland and coastline on its doorstep, and a farmers market under the castle every Saturday. Even here, clean food is hard to buy every day. Most of what is on the shelf is packaged, with additives, hidden sugar and industrial seed oils behind labels that are hard to read. A private chef in Edinburgh who shops properly and cooks clean, organic food in your own kitchen is the simplest way around it.

Your day starts early and you get home late. Meal planning, shopping, cooking and cleaning are the first things to go, and your fridge stays full of good intentions instead of food.

You want fresh, healthy food that fits your diet. You just don’t want your evenings organised around making it, so the delivery apps win again.

Private chef meal prep in Edinburgh, part time or full time

We make healthy eating in Edinburgh effortless with our BioChef services.

Biospan offers three private chef Edinburgh services. A part-time BioChef is your meal prep chef at home one to three days a week, a full time private chef runs your kitchen five to six days a week, and personalised nutrition support can be added to either. Start with how often you want a chef and how deeply nutrition should be integrated. We can help you decide.

  • Meal prep chef Edinburgh, for your dietary requirements

    Your BioChef visits one to three times a week and keeps your fridge stocked with labelled meals.

    Most meal prep services in Edinburgh deliver the same tubs every week. Your private chef meal prep Edinburgh service starts with your dietary requirements instead: your BioChef cooks in your kitchen, serves something hot on the day and leaves up to 16 portioned meals for the days ahead, and your weekly menu rotates so you never eat the same five meals.

  • Full time private chef at home in Edinburgh

    A chef in your kitchen five to six days a week.

    For fresh daily meals, dinner parties and food for your family and guests, a full time private chef at home cooks breakfast, lunch and dinner, supports the wider household and can travel with you.

  • Personal chef and nutritionist support

    We support your existing programme or build you a personalised nutrition plan.

    Bring a plan from your nutritionist, doctor or coach and your BioChef cooks to it as written. Or ask Biospan for blood work and a personalised nutrition programme built around your goals, with Cellular Performance, our partner.

These are starting points, not fixed packages. Your final package is shaped around your needs.Prefer to talk? +44 20 4587 1917 · info@biospan.ioFind My BioChef

Personal chef and nutritionist support in Edinburgh

Every menu starts with your nutrition.

BioCheffing was built so you never have to second-guess what you are eating again. Your menus are designed around your goals and requirements before any cooking begins. You do not need a formal programme: start with clean, personalised food, bring an existing plan, or ask our nutrition team for deeper support. The practitioners on the Biospan team are registered with BANT, the CNHC and the ANP.

Explore Personalised Nutrition

Fat loss, lean muscle, energy, sleep and longevity can all shape your menu. Your BioChef cooks for the goal, with macros and calories portioned when you want them, and the food you enjoy done clean.

Allergies, intolerances, exclusions and household needs are captured before menus are planned. If you follow a specific diet, keto, paleo, low-FODMAP, autoimmune or low-histamine, or a recovery protocol alongside your medical team, your BioChef cooks it as written.

A programme is optional. We can work with the programme and trainer you already have, or build one around your goals with Cellular Performance, our partner, and refine it as your results come in.

Organic private chef groceries in Edinburgh

Your chef shops for clean organic groceries.

Your menu is only as good as the ingredients that go into it. An organic private chef service starts with the shopping: in Edinburgh your BioChef sources organic produce, pasture-raised, 100% grass-fed meat and wild-caught fish to Biospan’s organic food standards, from suppliers such as the Edinburgh Farmers’ Market on Castle Terrace, the Sunday market in Stockbridge, Real Foods on Broughton Street, and the farm shops and butchers you already trust. Groceries are at cost. We make nothing on them.

Read our ingredient standards

Organic, seasonal and local wherever it is available. Your private chef shops for every ingredient personally, from your preferred Edinburgh suppliers or our vetted suppliers (BETA).

Your chef cooks with whole foods and single-food natural ingredients: pasture-raised meat, wild-caught fish, organic vegetables. Your menus follow Biospan’s food standards, whichever private chef service you choose.

Your meals are cooked without industrial seed oils and refined sugar, with nothing ultra-processed. We cook with healthy fats to your programme, or default to olive oil, ghee and tallow.

How a chef at home in Edinburgh works

Your BioChef cooks your food in your own kitchen.

An at home chef service is simple. Hire a chef to cook at home and this is what your week looks like. Your BioChef is your personal cook in Edinburgh. Your BioChef plans your menus, shops for your groceries, cooks in your kitchen and leaves it clean.

Your tastes, dietary requirements, schedule and required meals are turned into a practical menu for your household. Your chef reviews the plan and sources the organic groceries before cooking begins.

Depending on your service, your BioChef can prepare meals for later in glass containers, cook and serve something hot, make food for different household members or handle a full day of meals.

Prepared food is portioned, labelled and dated in your fridge. Your kitchen is left clean, and your next menu adapts to your feedback, travel, guests or changing goals.

What changes when the food is handled properly.

  • Steven Bartlett

    There’s a high chance of skipping meals or not eating things that are good for my nutrition if it’s not super quick and accessible.

    I have a chef that comes to my house once a week and he makes my meals for the next three days, and he comes back three days later and makes the next three. That’s been really important to me.

Private chef Edinburgh questions, answered

What Edinburgh households ask before they start

The practical details, answered before you enquire.

A private chef in Edinburgh with Biospan starts from £1,762 a month, all in, with groceries billed separately at cost. That covers one chef visit a week in your own kitchen: a hot meal on the day and up to 16 portioned meals for the days ahead. Most clients start within 5 to 10 working days. BioCheffing is personalised nutrition with clean, organic ingredients, made by private chefs experienced in nutrition.

Hire a chef in Edinburgh through Biospan and the search is done for you. If you want to hire a personal chef to cook at home one day a week, or a full time private chef, tell us your requirements on Find My BioChef and we match you with a background-checked Biospan chef, in 5 to 10 working days on average. Private chef hire in Edinburgh works the same way for both: you trial your chef for one visit, you sign your contract directly with your chef, and your service starts with a complimentary nutrition call.

We replace your chef. Your personal chef match is built on your requirements and household fit, and if it is not right we find you another Edinburgh private chef.

Yes. You trial your chef for one visit. For a full time private chef you can run unlimited chef trials, each paid at the chef’s agreed day rate.

Yes. Bring a plan from your nutritionist, doctor or coach and your BioChef cooks to it as written, with macros and calories portioned to your targets when you want them. We receive updates directly, so your personalised menus change as your plan changes.

Our private chefs in Edinburgh cover the city, East Lothian and Midlothian, from the New Town and Stockbridge to Morningside, Leith, Portobello and Musselburgh, and we consider nearby areas on enquiry. Tell us your postcode on Find My BioChef and we confirm the search area before you commit.

Yes, and it is included rather than an extra. A chef visit is a full cooking session: your BioChef can serve something hot on the day and prepare portioned, labelled meals in glass containers for the days ahead. On one visit a week that is up to 16 servings on Clean Food, or up to 12 on the programme packages, so meal prep is part of your package rather than something you add on.

Yes, with one week’s notice. When you travel, we can also match you with a BioChef at your destination who already knows your menus and requirements.

No. Your organic groceries are billed separately, groceries at cost, on your own card. Your private chef shops organic, pasture-raised and wild-caught, and we make nothing on your groceries.
