Consultancy


Turning ideas into impactful solutions.


For the last 20 years, I have been involved in the hospitality and leisure industry. I can’t think of a role that I haven’t covered and mastered in the area. I have turned around many failing restaurants and created two successful ones of my own. See some of my projects here.

In today’s competitive hospitality landscape, a chef consultancy can be a game-changer for restaurants, hotels, and catering businesses. A seasoned chef brings culinary expertise and strategic insights that can elevate a brand and enhance guest experiences.
