About
I’m a private chef and caterer with many years of experience in Paris. Now settled in Rutland, I offer bespoke catering for everything from cosy dinner parties at home to secret suppers in local event spaces.
My cooking is inspired by flavours from around the world, though lately I’ve been drawn to the rustic, sun-soaked dishes of Puglia, where I spent time learning from top chefs and culinary influencers.
Whether you’re planning a birthday, a gathering with friends, or a special celebration, I bring flexible, personalised catering to homes and venues across the region.

Edward Conant,
Picks Barn, Oakham
We organised with Philippa, an Italian evening in our Cafe in Picks Barn and she prepared and served the most delicious food taken from her recipes from a Puglian Farmhouse, The evening was a great success largely due to Philippa's food which was quite exceptional. She was a delight to work with, ably assisted by her son Freddie.

Philippa catered for my birthday party, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The food was absolutely amazing - fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was a hit with the guests, ad many of them are still talking about it! Just as impressive was Philippa's attention to detail, nothing was forgotten. Philippa took all of the stress out of hosting for so many and I highly recommend her, such a shame she no longer lives in France.

Philippa cooked some FANTASTIC food for my husband's suprise 70th birthday party - catering for about 50 people, with ever changing numbers (sorry) and great choices for vegans and vegetarians as well as the meat eaters. Fabulous puddings and really tasty starters too. I couldn't have hoped for a better choice, and everyone at the party agreed!
