Private chef experience
& events catering
Cornwall 

"I qualified as a chef in the early 90s and since then have worked in professional kitchens across the UK and Australia, building a career spanning almost 30 years, cooking in some fantastic places. Also, attended many culinary courses in Thailand and India. I spent the past 15 years of my career in award-winning restaurants in the bustling seaside village of St Ives, Cornwall, cooking creative, delicious dishes alongside many, decorated and highly skilled chefs. After five years in the well-known restaurant The Porthminster Beach Café, I left as Senior Sous-Chef after securing the role of Head Chef at their sister restaurant, The Porthgwidden Beach Café. I spent seven years building a fantastic reputation here, annually claiming a mention in the Michelin Guide and receiving the award for *Best Café Food Readers Awards 2020. * Although I enjoyed this time, I felt a change was on the cards; a chance to step outside the fast-paced, demanding lifestyle of the restaurant scene. To offer a more intimate service that still allows me to work with the fantastic local produce available but also gives me more time to dedicate to sourcing the best that Cornwall has to offer, along with the time to produce dishes that I am truly proud of."
