Where it all started

So it all started at the famous Trout Inn at Lechlade at a very early age. Thanks to my parents I was encouraged to attend college where I spent 3 years completing City & Guilds 706/1, 706/2 BTEC first diploma in hotel & catering. During the summer holidays I worked at Silverstone Grand Prix, opening ceremony of the channel tunnel, Henley regatta and Wimbledon.

My first full-time job in 1994 (Hilton Swindon) as a Commis chef before I had an internal transfer to Park Lane Hilton 1st commis chef. Since then I have worked at 4* Hotel and Spa Sopwell House as Demi chef de partie, Millennium Gloucester Hotel, Earls Court as Chef de partie, Conference & Banqueting chef. Which lead onto Harrods, Knightbridge, geograin restaurant as chef de partie and then Blunsdon House Hotel Junior Sous Chef. From there I took a year out to travel but that didn’t really work because I ended up working in Vermillion restaurant, Fremantle, Perth & also Subiaco oval (Aussie rules football stadium), VIP boxes.. Then back to the UK at Mackenzies bar and restaurant as head chef before I was licensee and head chef at the Golden Fleece, Melksham then on to Calcot Manor and Spa as Sous Chef.

It was in 2011 that I Started my Journey creating Cotswold Caterers.. From there my career went into a slightly different angle of catering, A.B.M catering for schools in the south west 2012-2014 then on to Malmesbury CoE Primary School where I helped to develop their own brand of school catering called Malmesbury meals 2015-2017.

And that leads me to today where Cotswold Caterers has now been a part of many events in various venues and takes pleasure in helping others create their bespoke menus with our support.
