About 

Hettie has always had a passion for food. Her mother ran her own catering business in Scotland, so she grew up surrounded by profiterole mountains and vats of mayonnaise.

After training at Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland, Hettie went on to work across London and the UK, cooking for private clients and events of all shapes and sizes. Alongside her private chef work, she has worked with some of London's most sought-after catering companies, bringing creativity, experience and a practical approach to every kitchen.

With a love for seasonal ingredients, generous cooking and beautifully balanced flavours, Hettie offers a flexible, personalised service to suit a variety of occasions. From intimate dinner parties and special celebrations to corporate catering and holiday chef services, she creates thoughtful menus tailored to each client. She also prepares high quality, freezer friendly meals for busy households, making it easier to eat well without the daily effort.

Whatever the occasion, Hettie takes the time to understand your tastes, preferences and dietary requirements, creating menus that feel personal and food that brings people together. Her approach combines thoughtful, seasonal cooking with the warmth and ease of a private chef experience, taking the stress out of hosting and leaving you free to enjoy the good stuff.
