Why book a private BBQ chef in Marbella?
Marbella’s micro-climate delivers more than 300 days of sunshine a year, and balmy evenings are almost guaranteed from April to October. Add spectacular sea views, fragrant pine-covered hillsides and Andalusian white-washed villas, and you have the ultimate open-air dining room. A skilled BBQ chef capitalises on that setting by:
- Sourcing local produce – Think Málaga goat’s cheese, organic vegetables from the Guadalhorce valley and freshly caught dorada off the Sotogrande coast.
- Cooking live – The sizzle and aroma from the grill build anticipation and become part of the evening’s entertainment.
- Pairing regional wines – Albariño for char-grilled octopus, Rioja crianza for rib-eye, or a crisp rosado for summer salads.
- Showcasing Spanish flavours – Smoked pimentón rubs, Jerez sherry glazes and Moorish spice blends pay homage to Andalusia’s culinary heritage.
Our BBQ Style: From Classic to Gourmet
At My Chef at Home Spain, we understand that every client is different. That’s why we offer a wide variety of styles:
Meat Lover’s Paradise
Perfectly seared Galician steaks, tender marinated chicken, spicy lamb skewers and artisanal mini burgers. Paired with roasted vegetables, truffle sauces and rustic bread selections.
Seafood BBQ
Think grilled king prawns with citrus butter, whole sea bass in herbs, octopus with smoked paprika oil, and marinated tuna skewers.
Plant-Based Grill
Vegan doesn’t mean boring. We offer BBQ jackfruit, grilled portobello mushrooms, smoked tofu, and colourful vegetable brochettes, all bursting with flavour.
Fusion & International
Fancy something different? We also create fusion menus inspired by Asia, Latin America or the Middle East. Imagine teriyaki-glazed ribs, tandoori-style prawns, or Mediterranean halloumi with pomegranate molasses.

What Our Clients Say
“My Chef at Home experience was amazing! We had a great chef, who made delicious food. The chef was really polite and pleasing, and all the guest was impressed by his food and his performance. I would definitely recommend this, and I would happily choose My Chef at Home again for another occasion.” – Marie Sæbø
“Akos is the best! We hired him as a nightly chef for our wedding week in Malaga for our group. Everything was truly amazing and delicious! The first night we had BBQ and everything was cooked to perfection. Meats were well seasoned, tender and the perfect medium rare. The 2nd night was “Greek-ish” which was my personal favorite. The homemade pita bread made from scratch that he cooked over the bbq was mind blowing. Many people also said that this was the best tzatziki they’ve ever had. It paired perfectly with the lamb and fish. The 3rd night was our wedding night where we had the full Spanish menu. It was by far the best paella we had in Spain. Akos also made these spinach croquettes that we couldn’t stop eating. On the last night we had pizza. Our villa came with an outdoor wood burning stove, so we put it to use and the pizza, pasta and anti-pasta made by his colleague Michael was incredible.
Thank you Akos for making our wedding week so special! We are from California and had a small destination wedding. Akos worked with us and made planning from afar very easy. Our guests could not stop raving about the food made by Akos and this team. I would highly recommend hiring him to cater your wedding or cook for your next event” – Tracy Le
