HI! IM ELEANOR...

My culinary journey began humbly in my mother’s café in Bakewell, UK, where I learned the ropes of menu design and cooking for both the café and supper clubs. While my passion for food developed gradually, my adventurous spirit soon led me to a ski season and eventually to the superyacht industry.

After years of incredible experiences, I transitioned to land to start a successful handmade chocolate and cake business. However, fate led me back to yachting as a sous chef for one of China’s wealthiest individuals. There, I worked alongside my late friend Johnny, who inspired my deep appreciation for classic French cuisine and profoundly influenced my culinary journey.

This journey led to numerous roles on superyachts as a freelance head chef and valuable experience in Michelin-starred kitchens, where I mastered diverse cuisines and dietary needs while refining my craft.

Now, 13 years on, I have based myself on land in Southwest France with my partner and daughter, inspired and excited to bring the luxury of yacht and Michelin dining into guests’ homes, holiday retreats, or wherever you desire!

Why Choose Me...

With experience across superyachts, Michelin-starred kitchens, and private events, I bring a refined yet relaxed approach to every gathering.

Having cooked a wide range of cuisines and catered for diverse dietary requirements over the years, I create thoughtful, seasonal menus that feel personal to each guest and occasion.

Catering Across France & Beyond

Based in Deux-Sèvres, I cater throughout the Dordogne, Charente, Vienne, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Paris, and surrounding regions for private dining, celebrations, retreats, and events.

I am also available for residencies and projects abroad on request.

Dietary Requirements

I’m happy to cater for a wide range of dietary requirements and preferences, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free menus where possible.

Please note that while great care is taken, I work in a kitchen where cross-contamination can occur, so I cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free environment for severe allergies or coeliac disease. Please mention any dietary requirements when enquiring so menus can be adapted where possible.
