The 5th Element Chef

Secure Payments

Simple, Secure &
Completely Transparent

No booking fees. No hidden charges. You pay exactly what you were quoted — nothing more, with a secure payment link sent once your booking is confirmed.

The website is personally operated by Jonathan Bradley. Any additional chefs or team members brought in for a booking are self-employed contractors and must provide the required documents, certificates and compliance information before approval.

Already have a payment link?

Click Your Secure Link to Pay

Chef Bradley will have sent your personalised payment link by email once your booking is confirmed. Click that link to pay securely through Stripe. Customer funds are held within the booking flow until the event is completed and the post-event checks have been received.

This website does not describe the arrangement as escrow. Payments are handled through a regulated payment provider and released only in line with the booking terms, completion status and HACCP submission.

Can't find your payment link? Check your inbox for an email from Chef Bradley. If you need it resent, get in touch and it will be with you within the hour.
