This both supports the local economy and ensures that my ingredients are of the highest quality. I have experience of working in the counties finest establishments as well as working for two of Hereford’s prestigious events catering companies where I was an integral part in helping them to achieve their number one status in the local area. I love the flexibility and creativity that my private cheffing job allows, enabling me to create exciting and personalised menus for fabulous dinner parties.
