TAYLORS WINE BAR
“Chris helped us immeasurably when we first opened our wine bar. He was informative, patient, and full of ideas on how we could make and save money. Nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend his services to anyone.”

THE HUB
“We have enjoyed working with Chris over the past few years. Throughout that time he had helped us grow and develop our small campsite cafe into a reasonablely successful business that works independently of our camping and glamping business. He has understood the ethos of what we are developing and offered considered menu suggestions. This has then been further qualified by staff training and implementation of useful systems to make the menus scalable for the big days and keeping waste to a minimum. His industry knowledge is invaluable in keeping up to date with legislation particularly throughout the pandemic. He is in top of our due diligence in terms of cross contamination and allergens, and has put maintaining quality standards as well as margin at the front and centre of what we are delivering both front and back of house.”

GEORGE INN
“The level of knowledge, training and advice, provided our pubs a clear direction to achieve a winning formula. By creating new menus that offered savings for the businesses whilst keeping the high quality our customers expected was a real game changer. With a passion for motivating, our kitchen team ‘believed‘ and embraced the new strategies and work ethnics required to reach the expected ambitions.”

WEST BEACH CAFE
“Chris has been instrumental in helping us get to where we are today with our business. We opened our cafe in 2019 with no prior experience in the catering trade. He was extremely helpful in advising us on our menu choice and volunteered to come in for the day before we opened to prepare and advise all our menu dishes. He provided our chef with lots of tips and advice on cooking in a fast-paced environment . Once established he was always on call for us to offer friendly advice and a thoroughly professional service. He continues to suggest different specials for our menu or other products to improve dishes. We have no doubt that we owe in part the success of our business and our loyal customer base to the support and encouragement that he gave us throughout.”
