I come to you - find out what I cook and where

As a travelling chef, I can drive to your venue pretty much anywhere in the North of England.

I'm based on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales in the Pennines, where Lancashire, North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire meet (with Cumbria just a short drive up the A65), so am within easy reach of much of the North.

Serving the North

I am based in Barnoldswick - near Skipton, on the border of Lancashire and Yorkshire - overlooking the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Just minutes from Settle, Clitheroe, Hebden Bridge and Ilkley. Within 1 hour of Windermere, Kendal, Lancaster, Preston and the Lancashire coast in the west, and Harrogate, Leeds, Ripon, Richmond and York in the east.

I cover The Lake District and Cumbria, North Yorkshire, the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Parks, West Yorkshire, Lancashire and beyond.
