Paul cooked an amazing bbq for my birthday. The marinaded meal was delicious and the cheesecakes the best I’ve tasted. The service provided to me and my guests was spot on the whole time. Highly recommend.

What’s your signature dish?
I have a few signature dishes! In the dessert range it has to be my gooey chocolate brownies - crispy on the outside with a soft gooey dark and milk chocolate centre.
In the savory range my 'spring salad' is always a massive hit - A flavoursome salad made with mixed leaves, sugar snap peas, mint, courguette and feta cheese. Another favourite I particularly like make is my homemade scotch eggs; golden crispy breadcrumbs, encasing locally sourced sausage meat with a slightly soft free range egg in the centre.
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
It is really important to have a good relationship with my clients and discuss their requirements from the outset. Through understanding my clients likes, dislikes, tastes and budget I am then able to create the perfect menu for them.
What do you love most about your job?
The variety and the endless variations buffet food can offer.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Having worked for 36 years in the catering industry it was my time to 'go it alone'. My last position as head chef at the National Trust's head office saw me designing bespoke buffet menus for the many corporate events they hosted for the directors and staff, and I found I enjoyed nothing more than producing homemade quality food from scratch on a large volume.
