Caroline Yates
Besides great menus and food, Caroline can also provide you with a chef for your holiday
"Having been a cook for a number of years in ski lodges, yachts and private estates I started a recruitment agency for cooks over 10 years ago. We specialise in finding cooks for private and commercial clients from dinner parties to full time positions. I am available privately to cater for dinner parties or weekends. I regularly cater for large groups and enjoy providing a tailor made menu for smaller groups (including children). With the abundance of fresh and local produce available in the West Country I like to source all my food locally with the support of my local suppliers."
Your Very Own Chef
The ultimate treat - no cooking - Caroline has excellent cooks
If you want to make the most of your holiday let Caroline help by providing you with a cook. The cooks can provide breakfast, lunch and dinner to enable you to go and explore the area or simply relax. By taking the catering off your hands you will all have more time together and be able to switch off from everyday life to ensure you have a truly relaxing holiday.
Caroline is very flexible, and all arrangements are tailor-made to suit you. Please call Caroline on 01823 401224 to discuss. www.goodcookco.com
