served up fresh

The Secret Chef is a catering company located in Hoboken, NJ serving New Jersey and New York City. We take great pride in customizing every menu, party and detail to our clients needs. We won’t hand you a menu; we’ll talk about your likes, dislikes and allergies and develop a menu specifically for you and to fit any budget. We’re trained in all cuisines and only serve you the highest quality food and service. We can do as little as a drop-off dinner party to a full-scale plated party with staff.
