It’s been silent on here for a little bit now, so sorry! We’ve been busy with contract work but especially with making menus, answering enquiries for possible events and generally sorting out 2025-2026! It’s going to be busy!Making bespoke menus and quotes, which are non-obligatory, takes so so much time, creative effort and a lot of back and forth communications but this is really what lays at the heart of our tiny business: flexibility, inclusiveness and sustainability. No cookie cutter menus or one size fits all, no vegans or allergies feeling like an afterthought and no strawberries in winter. It might sometimes seem lacking straightforwardness, for all those looking for a quick quote comparison but it’s so worth it in the end. Who wouldn’t want to have exactly what they’re looking for, without compromise?
If you’re looking for a private chef experience, or catering for your corporate event, wedding, birthday, hen-do/stag-do or anniversary, get in touch. Rather looking for a food van? Check out our . Together, we’ll make it work for you.

Here’s to another year with this fantastic, committed, hard working, happy team. With only one more event to go before we take our Christmas break, we finally had a chance to spend time with everyone together. Thank you to each one of you, for your enthusiasm, your work ethic, your cheer, your readiness, your flexibility, the effort you put into it, the little things you might think go unnoticed but who make all the difference and, for the younger ones: all the progress you’ve all made the past couple of years. Catering is a tough job and not for everyone, the skills and attitude you need are hard to come by so be super proud of yourselves. You make Envie / the cruising kitchen what it is today: a big family pulling it together. A big BIG thank you.

Thank you for having us, spot on!

Very pleased it worked out for the Exeter Lord Major’s dinner. Lots of preperation, communications and fine tuning to provide a 360degree service. Thank you to our fantastic team, for really reading up on the brief, ceremony prompts and getting on with the wine pouring training. Well done guys 💕

Yesterday was a very special day. At Rebel Researcher Lab’s workshop, Lizzie was able to combine her passion for sustainable food for all, and love for sharing food with people from around the world with her current PhD research. We had such an incredibly interesting day, learning from each other in the global north and south, cooking a full menu (canapés, 2 meal salads, mains and dessert) together, all different ages and abilities, share our food alongside our stories and build bridges for future collaborations for change. Thank you to and K, for inspiring and organising this, as well as for the hands on collage workshop and of course and for their stellar produce!

I have been thinking hard about whether or not I wanted to post this. Last week, I received these menus, to cook at a retreat, with the expected cost per person for the whole weekend to be £40-45 (so including the three course, the breakfast, brunch, etc for two days, minus the drinks on the menu, this would be provided by the retreat holder). We have had similar expectations since last year, both for weddings and retreats. I’d like to call this out. Catering, and sustainable catering I might add, is not a race to the bottom. Similarly, being able to get a £10 Sunday roast at the local pub is not “great”. It’s a sign of what is fundamentally, endemically wrong with our food system.
In honesty, I can’t even get supplies for this menu at that price per person. It isn’t realistic. If it were, I’d be getting the lowest bottom quality, from the most unreputable source, perpetuating a self-fulling food crisis prophecy. Good food shouldn’t need to cost the earth, but you will pay more for it. Your carrot needs to be grown sustainably, but that means the farmer needs to get a fair price for it, which means you and I need to pay a fair price too. Not to fatten supermarkets pushing down the farmer’s prices so they produce staggering amounts with minimal nutritional value, pumped full of chemicals and ruining the soil for future generations, but the farmer. The grower, the producer, the rearer, the fisher. This race to the bottom needs to stop and called out. To be rude, what kind of chicken do you think you’ll be eating if your roast costs a tenner and our single chicken breast £4.6. Think about it, then choose what you want to support. Or eat. There can be enough sustainable, affordable food for everyone, grown in the UK, but not with this attitude. If you would like us to bumper price cook for you with whatever cheap produce, we are not your caterer. Nor will we ever be. Fair price, fair produce, fair work.



Thank you for getting this far.

Once upon a time, a good couple of years ago, two lovely people came up to our old place to talk about their wedding menu. You see, they could grow and raise pretty much a whole menu at their organic farm, “all” we had to do was develop dishes with the mixture of available produce. And then they’d grow and raise it, see what succeeds and we’d adjust accordingly. And so it happened….. this is probably the best example so far of just how much you can grow and raise in the UK, all organic and full of flavour. With a bit of creativity, and 5 full days of prep and cooking, you feed some 120+ people the most amazing homegrown goodness. What a wonderful wedding. Here’s to kunekune pigs too. And to corn cobs, whose flimsy little flint I keep finding everywhere. And to our amazing team, who absolutely worked their nails off. 💕

🦌 Deer are gorgeous... almost as cute as cows! 🦌
But they’re also a delicious, organic and a sustainable source of high welfare, high quality meat.

Did you know, venison is significantly lower in fat than beef and has less cholesterol than chicken!?!? It's one of the leanest, protein rich, natural meat sources available and we’re lucky to have a wild source right here in Clyst Hydon Village at Langford Court.

Come join us at The Five Bells, Clyst Hydon today from 12-6pm where The Cruising Kitchen will be cooking Mark Chattey’s famous venison burgers.

Can’t wait to see you there!

Rather make your own veni dinner??

I been making bread (and other bakes) for nearly two decades now, starting with my grandmother. It was always out of pleasure and interest, and later because homemade bread doesn’t give me the POTS related palpitations (post orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) store bought bread gives me. I never really looked into it. It wasn’t until we had to work around Reiya’s severe soy and milk allergy that store bought bread really got scrutinised and to be honest… what the absolute banana is in our bread!?!?! So much - SO MUCH utter chemical rubbish! Bread is simple, it’s forgiving and that’s why I like it: water, starter/yeast, flour. Simple. Enriched bread has milk and butter. Simple. Store bought bread has more ingredients than my facial cream. Not normal, not simple and definitely not healthy or good for your body. Not even cheap! Why do we accept this? Why do we accept that flour gets cut up with imported, cheap, genetically modified soy flour? Britain produces top quality wheat for flour! Even organic and ancient grain flours! There is no excuse! We really should demand healthy, British grown pure flour&water breads only (or whatever tasty addition flies your kite).

Last week we made SO much food! I can’t even begin to condense them into 10 pictures… every day of the week, we created bespoke lunch & dinners (even proper Bouillabaisse and Flemish rabbit stew), desserts and breads to culminate in a really beautiful little party, featuring our own butternut ravioli dish (I’m pretty proud of that one), wild seabass, organic beef cooked outside on the plancha, lots of sharing salads, crème brûlée tart, panna cotta, a local cheeseboard and two fantastic biodynamic wines ( and vino renosu). Then straight onto a retreat and canapés party on Sunday, and then Tuesday a fully catered for 3-day retreat. Oh and today and tomorrow we’re at 🩷❤️
