Over the years, Alex has catered for everything from large regimental dinners, youth festivals as well as intimate private dinners for smaller groups.

His food is heavily influenced by Scandinavian flavours, characterised by home-smoked and cured produce, delivered in Bistro-style presentation.
Our cake and sugarcraft front is led by Alex' mum, Christina. She attended the Cordon Bleu School in London following this up later with courses with Paddi Clark and Eddie Spence MBE, well-known figures in the world of sugarcraft.
