Rhode Island
Book a private dinner party with a verified Rhode Island chef. Hosted at your home— or, when your space won't fit the night, a Suppah Social host loft or rooftop across Providence, Newport, Pawtucket, or Bristol. 4 to 30 guests. From $80 per person, all-in.
Rhode Island is a state of 1.1 million people that eats like a city of 5. Private dinners with a chef have always been a thing here — Federal Hill kitchens, Fox Point lofts, Newport waterfront homes, Bristol farmhouses — they just used to live entirely in word-of-mouth. Suppah Social formalizes the matching: instead of a forwarded text and a Venmo, you get a chef profile, a custom proposal, atomic Stripe billing, dietary-profile matching, and a refund policy that holds up.
Most RI Suppah private dinners happen at the guest's own home: a Providence triple-decker, a Cranston ranch, a Newport summer rental, a Bristol single-family. When the guest's space can't fit the night (small apartment, work dinner, a milestone you want to feel different), the platform also lists Suppah Social host spaces across the state — vetted lofts, rooftops, larger homes — that you can rent for the evening.
The most-booked formats:
Most RI bookings happen 2–6 weeks out. The chef builds a custom proposal once you send the request — date, headcount, dietary notes, occasion. You accept or counter; 50% deposit on accept, balance auto-charged 48 hours before the event. Standard refund policy: full 72+ hours out, 50% inside 72h, none inside 24h.
Per-person all-in: $80–$250. The 5% platform fee is included; the rest goes to chef (and host, if used). No tips on top — tip is included in the per-head price.
Rhode Island chefs typically cover the entire state plus a 25-mile radius beyond their home kitchen, which captures the MA South Coast (Fall River, New Bedford) and the eastern CT shoreline. Set the venue address on the booking and the explore page filters to show only chefs whose service radius reaches you.
