Describe who you are as a company and why you love doing what you do?

I don’t feel like a company as there is only myself! I offer a personalised service from start to finish. I get to work in some beautiful settings, meet interesting  people and no two jobs are the same, so you are always fresh and challenged.

What sets you apart from other catering companies?

I’ve kept it small and bespoke. I don’t have a website, not on Insta and I have no idea how to ‘tic toc’?! I guess in this day and age all the above probably makes me unique ….. or ancient.


What are your top tips for choosing the right menu?

Taste, texture, balance and season.
