I have demonstrated at numerous food shows and I am available for product demonstrations and development. My chatty, informal delivery always entertains and informs. I am especially proud to be involved in our the thriving Food and drink events in Suffolk: The Theatre of Food at this years Latitude Festival , Aldeburgh Food and Drink Festival, The Suffolk Show and the EADT Food and Drink Awards

Private Catering Services

I also have a small Suffolk based private catering service (sample menus)and work as a private chef. Have a look at my menus and pictures and you may like to contact me to discuss a future event. I can give you some ideas, design special menus and a personal friendly service. Have a look at the testimonials to see what people say about me. If you are coming to Suffolk for a holiday or weekend you can hire me to cater for any formal or informal event. You’ll find me cooking in Suffolk Secrets houses throughout the country. https://www.suffolk-secrets.co.uk

If you would like to book a private/corporate/bespoke cookery session do get in touch, I can advise on duration, content and special prices. I can offer different venues and themes to suit your needs. Hands on cooking workshops are perfect for team bonding, Christmas alternatives to ‘The Office Party’ and Family gathering celebrations. Your Cookery session will be organised and hosted with care and friendly attention to detail and with lots of tips and technique’s to learn. You then sit down to eat your food or some groups take it away to enjoy!

House or Hen parties are also popular, I come and host a fun cooking session, you and your guests cook as a group and sit down to a fabulous meal. If your house doesn’t have a big enough kitchen I can arrange a super venue to cook and eat! I also plan smaller private cooking lessons, which can be at your home. You and your friends can have a bespoke culinary adventure. A thoroughly enjoyable day to remember, you can cook for a grand lunch or for an evening dinner party where you can invite other guests to taste the results of your labours.

I live and work in Ipswich and I am happy to travel throughout Suffolk and beyond. I am an individual who caters rather than a big company, but I can arrange hire and find staff to help at your event. For a personal, unique, high standard and local service, you need go no further.
