Biography

Growing up on the family farm has meant using fresh, seasonal and local produce is very much at the heart of Robbie's cooking ethos - hunting, foraging and preserving many of the wild ingredients found on the farm and making use of his kitchen garden to grow beautiful seasonal vegetables in true farm to fork style, whether it be special occasion, elegant fine dining feasts, Michelin star tasting menus, seasonal supper clubs or canapé & party catering.

Prior to training as a chef, Robbie worked in the wine trade for a number of years, providing him the building blocks not only in matching food and wines, but the understanding of flavour combinations, which in turn informed his passion for food, be it beautifully simple or cutting edge and modern.

Taking time to listen and work closely with his clients, Robbie thrives in developing bespoke, meaningful menus perfect for any occasion – big or small.

“Thank you SO much. It was a fantastic evening with your food centre stage, just as we wanted. You did a brilliant job and everyone was deeply impressed! Your food was outstanding – the chocolate bomb was Michelin starred in my book!!”

Dear Robbie,

I have to admit that we never usually clock Valentine's Day but this one was memorable, thanks to your simply delicious spread. The table was laid, the wine breathing gentle, and a dozen white roses were on the table (thanks to the son!). The canapés were thoroughly enjoyed as the cod sat in the oven and the pappardelle bonded with that glorious ragout. And then it was ready...

The cod was perfection (so fresh, with those lovely large flakes) and the veloute to die for. I have read the recipe but I suspect it will remain for me an RSA speciality! We toyed with the wine to sharpen up the appetite (already on alert thanks to a pretty frugal lunch!) and then tucked into the ragout. Sophisticated comfort food which could not have been more welcome as the east wind continued to lash the house. Knowing that there was more to come, we kept a little back (ragout rather than wind) and Robin will polish It off this morning. Again a small pause - and then that triumph of a pudding which played to all our worst weaknesses! Once again to die for, as they say, and still a bit of the creamiest of sorbets to finish off today. We savoured each wicked mouthful and then settled down with a cup of excellent Nespresso and your heavenly petits four, carefully encrusted with the sherbet.

It really was first class, Robbie, and the only thing missing was the chef in the kitchen! However I followed instructions closely down to the last dot, grating and marbling and think you would have been p,

leased with my efforts!

I am a lunch member of Mossimans and last night was in that class. We shall be back for more! Meanwhile thank you from us both.

“Asking Robbie to cater for our drinks party was a very smart move! The food was seriously delicious; I can not believe what he managed to create out of my kitchen. Robbie is wonderfully professional and patiently worked through several menu changes with me, making very helpful suggestions along the way.

The night of the party the execution was spot on; there was plenty of food all of which was beautifully presented. Robbie disappeared into the night leaving an immaculate kitchen and everybody is still raving about the food – a total success! I can not recommend Robbie highly enough and will be finding any opportunity to use him again”

– Laura Nicol, Norfolk

“Robbie’s food is a combination of delight on the eye, inventive flavours and attention to detail all served with good humour.”

– Sally Maufe, Norfolk

“Robbie made a great success of a dinner party I hosted for 10 people. He recommended two courses and helped with wine pairings, sourcing some excellent deals.

The food was genuinely world class and I was happy to find enough leftovers in the fridge to continue eating like a king. Robbie’s enthusiasm really set the tone for a great dinner party, he understood what I wanted and saved me a huge amount of time and stress – especially with the impeccable clean up! 10/10 would recommend and will use again”
