Charente Kitchen A lifelong passion for food - creating culinary experience that reflects your style & personality. A lifelong passion for food With years of experience in catering, including a background as a qualified chef, director of a catering company in London & the successful ownership of a restaurant in the UK , my culinary skills & expertise have undoubtedly been honed. My passion lies in using fresh, local ingredients to design bespoke menus for clients in South-West France. While French dishes form the heart of my menus, I also enjoy exploring other cuisines together with catering to diverse dietary needs such as vegetarians, vegans & those with food allergies. At Charente Kitchen we believe that every event is as unique as you are and aim to add a personal touch to your special day. Whether it is in a grand Chateau or in the comfort of your own home our team is dedicated to craft a culinary experience that reflects your style & personality. Reviews; Happy & Adam - August 2024 "DP was recommended to us by a neighbour in France as she'd recently worked with him. From start to finish, the man is a Genie ! I contacted him via Instagram, we discussed, we emailed, we arranged to meet when we were in France, we chose our menus, with helpful advice, and suggestions, we met again, and then the big day was upon us. We had NOT a moment of concern... DP arrived, organised everything, produced a delicious meal, catered for children, vegetarians, vegans, drop outs, extras. All with no fuss, absolutely no stress shown, nothing appeared too much trouble. I say Genie... DP is a gentle calm man, who appeared, big smile, in the midst of catering for our guests, Then left, the Salle de Fêtes kitchen exactly as he'd found it, pristine ! And that was it...Honestly, THE most stressless catering experience ever ! Would absolutely recommend to anyone enquiring about his service. You won't be disappointed with the food choices, the service". ------- Ruby & James - September 2023 "We could give nothing less than 5 stars for DP and his team. We couldn’t be happier with the service on our wedding day and had so many comments from our guest on how fantastic the food was. DP was so calm and relaxed on the day which meant we could enjoy every moment. We went for the private tasting to choose our options ahead of the wedding too. DP and his wife were so kind and accommodating for us and tailored everything to suit. We would recommend him and his team wholeheartedly to anyone looking for catering. Thank you so much"!
