Who am I?

Who am I?

I grew up in my parents restaurant, The Fox and Goose at Fressingfield.  To begin with I laid tables and stocked the bar shelves believing that I would eventually  serve at the tables and do front of house duties. Due to a family illness I was pressed into the kitchen when I was 17. I quickly discovered I had a talent for cooking.  Through this early experience I  realised  a natural interest in wines and the trade in general.

My mother, who had been the chef, was a great teacher and I began cooking by helping her in the kitchen.  My Mother won the Michelin star  in the mid 70's and I then maintained it for 8 years.  The experience I drew in those formative years was of immense value. However, my interest in the new cooking techniques that were emerging from France (Jean Troisgros and Michel Guerard) were to take me down a different culinary path. In 1991 The Fox and Goose was sold, I opened an other  restaurant in Easton, Norwich.

Two years later I worked as  head chef at the highly acclaimed Brasted`s Restaurant in central Norwich,. Over the next six years, as well as running the kitchen, I was in charge of developing and running a growing outside catering operation.

Although thoroughly experienced in catering for large numbers I like to treat each event, big or small as an individual occasion. The largest event I have catered for to date is 220 and my smallest was dinner for two. I pride  myself on attention to detail, ensuring that each meal that arrives at the table has been treated with individual care.   I prepare all the dishes on the enclosed menus with fresh top quality produce and whenever possible, always using local produce.

I can either come to your chosen venue or I have three other venues local to Norwich from which you may choose.  These venues all have their own house rules and it is very important you fully understand these rules before engaging me as your caterer

There are a lot more recipes in my repertoire, so I can either produce alternative menus or discuss with you your particular requirements.
