My Story

I love food and I love to serve tasty, local food to my guests whether a casual supper, a family picnic by the Lake, or a relaxing dinner party with friends, here at Culinary Occasions I want to give you a most relaxing experience whilst enjoying your meal.

Cumbria has a wealth of Artisan fine ingredients which I love to use in my menus including Solway Shrimps, Herdwick Lamb and Lythe Valley Damsons and not forgetting a favourite sweet dish of Cumberland Rum Nicky and Rum Butter.

Culinary Occasions was inspired through my love of food  Being hands on in the kitchen and getting involved in the garden were a big part of my early family life, even joining my Father and brother to the harbour at Whitehaven fishing for seasonal catch and the odd crab.

My food is all about having fun and I would be delighted to provide delicious Cumbrian Fayre for you.

So, for dining at home or your holiday property; family celebrations, corporate buffets, or just have a busy life and want time off from the kitchen, contact me to discuss your requirements. I love being creative with the ingredients available so take a look at  some of my dishes where you can create your own menu, or let’s have a chat and put a bespoke menu together for you.
