Caterer in West Sussex

Meet the Chef

I have been a Cordon Bleu caterer in West Sussex for over thirty years. AGA cooking has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Therefore, I am very lucky that I now call my passion a career. Working from my home in Bury, I offer a range of services, from AGA cooking lessons to premium event catering. Most recently, I have been making my own brand of delicious homemade wholesale ice cream.

Private Chef Hire West Sussex. Where It All Began

My love of flavour and cooking started at an early age. I’ve always enjoyed experimenting with ingredients to create an explosion of taste that makes you want to savour every bite. As a determined young lady, I enrolled at the Cordon Bleu School in London. My training there was instrumental in my success and I am now trained to a 2-rosette standard.

I’ve had a well-seasoned career (no pun intended) and I am honoured to have worked in illustrious venues worldwide. Most notably Belmond Mount Nelson in Cape Town and the Burpham Country House Hotel.

What I Do

My Team

Wedding Caterers West Sussex

It is no secret that I am a complete perfectionist, from ingredients to service, everything must be flawless. Consequently, I rely on my team to be meticulous in their individual roles and working together. I am very grateful for my team of staff who have been loyal for many years. Their work is always recognised by my clients and I get so much positive feedback about their service. It means so much to me that they share my passion. It is due to their ongoing hard work and support that I can focus wholly on the food.

Sourcing the Right Ingredients

I truly believe that to create the perfect dish you must first start with the finest ingredients. In addition, I feel it is important to know where your ingredients come from. Hence why I always shop locally for my supplies. Below is a list of suppliers I use to source raw ingredients;

Coughtrey’s Butchers

My butcher is Alec from Coughtrey’s Butchers in Pulborough. An award-winning butcher just a short drive away from my home. They source all their meat from local farmers within a 20-mile radius of the shop. As such, they have developed a great relationship with the farmers and therefore know exactly how the meat was reared.

SØDT The Hygge Bakery

SØDT is an award winning, authentic Danish bakery based in Petworth. I am so fortunate to have found them, as the bread they offer is exquisite. The traditionally baked, artisan loaves of bread are made using natural ingredients and slow fermentation. The results are quite simply the best I have tasted! Troels and his team are fantastic, the customer service is so welcoming, I would not go elsewhere.

Jane was absolutely super! Easy to work with from start to finish.
The food was excellent, she suggested canapés rather than starters and I'll never go back - it was even hard to choose a highlight everything was that good!
