Meet the team

I am Fenella and i am the Director of Gourmet Foods. I was classicaly trained at the famous Cordon Blue School, Winkfield. After graduating with distinction, I gained valuable experience working in restaurants in Bath before marying and moving abroad. On returning to this country, I set up my own catering company in Birmingham before aquiring Gourmet Foods in 1994. Since that time, I have maintained a strong base of both business and private clients. Some of our many achivements include catering for the Queen whilst contracted to provide a la carte in-flight meals to a private jet company, serving 450 guests with a hot three course meal for an international celebration dinner held in Coventry Cathedral and for the last three years exclusively catering for the needs of Jaguar Land Rovers VIP clients across their three sites in the Midlands.

I joined Gourmet Foods not long after COVID, a difficult time for all, but particularly those of us in the Hospitality sector. I have ensured that my previous experience (including Head Chef in a Michelin starred restaurant) has not been limited to only what is needed to run a succesful kitchen, but I have added to my knowledge by learning the nessesary skills to operate a business and meet the exacting requirements needed. Now both mine and Fenellas skills are combined, the business is going from strength to strength.
