cHEFS STORY

It all first started out at 17 years old when I decided to attend culinary college at Basingstoke (BCOT college), I found my passion for cooking there.


I then ventured out to gastro pubs for years which was previously named The Yew Tree inn located in Highclere which gave me more confidence in my cooking.


To Michelin starred restaurants for over 5 years to refine my cookery skills and knowledge and a complete understanding from butchery skills to bread making.


I appeared on MasterChef the Professionals 2020 on BBC one and it gave me a good exposure to decide on setting up my first business of being a private chef and cooking what I want and creating bespoke menus for my clients and building a great clientele throughout the 3 years of being in business.


I decided to get my very own first site to cook for the locals in our bistro cafe (Hillen’s Kitchen), I got an amazing opportunity from the previous owner of the site Mrs B’s by giving me the set up for a good price and it all fell into place and felt right and being a Newbury boy originally and my hometown. 

"Sammy is very charming and accommodating. Always with a smile and calm demeanor. He worked hard to find a menu to suit our needs and then delivered a Christmas themed dinner party including canapes for 18 people. His food was cooked to perfection and delicious. Thank you so much Sammy!"
