A FAMILY COOKING

Terms & Conditions

Effective date: October 28, 2026

Using this website

These terms apply to your use of afamilycooking.com, the website of A Family Cooking and Chef Phil Ritman. The website provides information about private chef services, menus, food photography, and event inquiries. Use the site lawfully and do not interfere with its operation, misuse forms, or attempt unauthorized access.

Inquiries and event bookings

Submitting a form, calling, or emailing is an inquiry. It does not by itself reserve a date or confirm a service. A booking is confirmed through the arrangements agreed with A Family Cooking. Your event proposal or booking agreement should identify the date, location, guest count, menu, service scope, price, payment requirements, and any applicable cancellation or rescheduling terms. These website terms do not replace an event agreement or any rights provided by applicable law.

Menus, photographs, and availability

Menus, articles, and photographs illustrate dishes and presentation ideas. Ingredients, portions, presentation, staffing, and availability can vary. Please confirm the current menu and all requested details before booking. A photograph of a previous creation does not guarantee an identical item, and older articles do not establish current pricing. This website currently directs guests to contact Chef Phil rather than offering an online checkout.

Dietary requirements and event arrangements

Tell Chef Phil about allergies, dietary restrictions, and other essential requirements before confirming the menu. Discuss ingredients, preparation conditions, and any limitations directly. Do not assume that a suggested alternative guarantees an allergen-free environment. Provide accurate details about the event location, kitchen or galley, access, guest count, and schedule. Confirm responsibilities for tableware, equipment, beverages, setup, staffing, and cleanup in the event agreement.

Website content and third-party services

Unless otherwise indicated, the site’s branding, photographs, and written material are owned by A Family Cooking or used with permission. Please request permission before reusing them commercially. Links to Google, Wufoo, and other services take you to services with their own terms and policies. Third-party reviews reflect their authors’ experiences; they are not guarantees of a particular outcome.

Privacy, changes, and questions

Please read the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy for information about website data and external services. We may update website information and these terms, with the current version posted here. Changes to an already confirmed event are handled through the applicable booking arrangements. For questions, call (754) 422-3388 or email cateringbyphils@hotmail.com.
