Vincent provided a celebration meal for 9 of us at an Airbnb we rented for the occasion. Vincent was friendly and professional throughout. Quick to respond to any and every communication, he listened carefully to what we wanted, advised on and produced a perfect menu for us. Vincent was not phased by the need to provide a vegan alternative and a couple of adjustments for individual preferences. On the day of our event Vincent arrived on time and produced an outstanding meal for us. Full of flavour, beautifully presented and all served in a timely, professional manner. The kitchen was left in an immaculate condition. To have a meal provided by Vincent is an absolute treat. We have no hesitation in recommending him to others for both the service he provides and the food he produces. THANKS again Vincent. More...

Absolutely delighted with both the food and the service. Vincent communicated really well, he provided a hot buffet for 15 people. The food was delivered on time with clear instructions and best of all was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be using again. Thank you. More...
What’s your signature dish?
I can't choose one. I just love cooking with passion and care ensuring that the flavours work together.
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
I like to find out your favourite foods and ingredients first and then set out to create a menu also based on seasonality and quality of ingredients.
What do you love most about your job?
My favourite part is the actual cooking, but I enjoy the journey from contacting the customer, discussing menu options and making sure the day runs smoothly and successfully.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I like to be free to make my own decisions and being able to offer food to customers that reflect my style of cooking.
Why should our clients choose you?
I cook from the heart and customers can be confident that once the booking is made I will not let them down.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
No, cooking has to happen at the venue. there is no substitute.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Our hygiene rules are already strict, but when we arrive at the venue, the first thing we do is sanitise all surfaces and anything we are likely to touch during the event. We wear face masks should the customer require us to do so.

Restaurants & Charcuterie businesses
I completely appreciate the pressures you could find yourself under when running your business day to day.
Having been part of some of the best Restaurants in Bristol throughout the 80’s, 90’s and 00’s as Chef/Director including my own Restaurant and my own Charcuterie business from 2008 till 2019, I understand how easy it can be to lose focus, something which I have learned myself during my own career.
What really matters is that you recognise this, and you are not afraid to ask for impartial and non-judgemental help!
