Private Service
VIP Catering in Marbella
Bespoke menus, discreet service and a full private team, from ten guests to two hundred and fifty.
Some events are judged on details nobody is meant to notice. FlexFood works almost entirely behind closed gates, in private villas across Marbella and Sotogrande, building menus from scratch for hosts who already know what good looks like. Ten guests or 250, the standard does not change.
Perfect for
Suited to private dinners, milestone birthdays, brand events and family celebrations at villas on the Golden Mile, Sierra Blanca, La Zagaleta and around Valderrama, where the guest list is short, the expectations are high and the evening has to look effortless.
What is included
- Menu written from scratch, tasted before the event
- Private chefs cooking on site, with a mobile kitchen if needed
- Full team: waiters, bartenders, florists and porters
- All equipment, tableware, glassware and linen supplied
- Discretion as standard, including NDA-bound events
Ninety-five per cent of our events take place at private residences, most under non-disclosure, which is the main reason our best work is not on this page. What we can say: we built an outdoor kitchen on the breakwater at Puerto Banús so that Lamborghini could serve properly at the water's edge, and we have worked with Bentley. In 2025 we delivered 84 events in four months. Everything arrives with us, from the ovens to the last teaspoon, and leaves with us afterwards.
How we work on site
The team arrives at least two hours before service, and four to five hours when furniture, florals and decor are part of the brief. We cook in the villa's own kitchen where that works, and build a mobile kitchen where it does not. A hundred guests are served by four chefs, twelve waiters and three bartenders, supported by florists and porters. Equipment, tableware and glassware travel with us. The house is returned as we found it.
Sample menu
- Tasting menu of seven to nine courses
- Canapé reception served by roaming waiters
- Live cooking station built around the guest list
- Banquet service with plated courses at the table
- Private bar with bartenders and bespoke cocktails
- Celebration cakes and gastro boxes for departures

Good to know
Is there a minimum order?
Yes. Every menu has a minimum guest count — ten on our buffets and BBQ — and the charge is calculated from that count rather than from how many people actually sit down. Menus start at €50 per guest, so the entry point depends on the format you choose.
How far ahead do clients book?
Anywhere from one week to two years. Our season runs from mid-April to mid-October and the summer weekends go first; winter dates are taken by arrangement. If you have a date in mind, hold it with us early.
How do you handle confidentiality?
Most of our events are covered by non-disclosure agreements and we sign them as a matter of course. No photographs, no names, no locations. Our staff are briefed on the same terms, and nothing from your evening appears anywhere afterwards.
Can the menu be written from scratch?
That is the usual arrangement. We start from your preferences, the house, the season and the guest list, then propose a menu and adjust it after a tasting. Canapés, buffets, banquets, tasting sets, live cooking, BBQ and cakes are all on the table.
What size of event do you take on?
From ten guests to 250, at villas and fincas across Marbella, Nueva Andalucía, Sierra Blanca, La Zagaleta, the New Golden Mile and Sotogrande. In 2025 we ran 84 events in four months, so the calendar is built around the season.
