Flavour and Wine

This West Cornwall-based private dining service is brought to you by chef Robert Michael (formerly of Porthgwidden Beach Café in St Ives)  who won 'Best Luxury Catering Service' at the LUX Food & Drink Awards 2023. Rob brings a love of local ingredients and a creative approach to menu development, and wine matching is a natural element of this.

Fiona Were is one of the trailblazers of the Cornish food scene. She has been a private chef for many years now, having previously held senior positions in several of Cornwall's most prestigious hotels and restaurants.

Fiona's food is inspired by her roots in New Zealand, where the mixture of cultural influences creates a lively melting pot of culinary eclecticism. Although trained in classic French cuisine, it's Asian food which holds the strongest appeal for Fiona, reflected in the lightness and vibrancy of her dishes. "My focus is on the use of fresh, local, sustainable and seasonal ingredients, with the Chef Fiona NZ twist," she explains. "I often incorporate ingredients I have grown myself or foraged, creating wonderfully interesting flavours."

Based near Redruth, Fiona will happily travel to St Ives to cater for guests of The Cottage Boutique.

Signature Dish: Wild Hand Line Caught Sea Bass, Kombu Tsukudani, Celeriac, Sesame Tempura Porthilly Oyster, Coastal Herbs.

Finally, if you like the sound of a private cookery class delivered by a top local chef in your holiday property, check out this new service introduced by chef Jeffrey Robinson. Jeffrey has been at the helm of some of the best kitchens in Cornwall and is set to open a cookery school in St Ives during summer 2024.

In the meantime, he's happy to come to you in one of our properties and teach groups of 4-12, with each class being completely bespoke
