Phil Howard, of Elystan Street restaurant, Chelsea and Mark Kempson, of Kitchen W8, Kensington have joined the new Cotswold based catering company – Cygnet Catering.

The duo, both boasting Michelin stars and various accolades, Mark, whom was recently awarded Best Game Chef, by Eat Game UK, are available for hire themselves or can assist with your menu choices for the dedicated team at Cygnet Catering, for either corporate occasions, private party or family events.

Mark Kempson said of the opportunity:

“I am delighted to be part of the team at Cygnet catering. Bringing Michelin Star food to the Cotswolds for all your events, large or small. We offer a bespoke and personal service that is tailored to your needs. I truly believe this will make your experience extra special.”

Cygnet is the brain child of Steve Cook, landlord of The Swan Inn in Swinbrook, Oxfordshire, which has been awarded Dining Pub of the Year by The Good Pub Guide for two years in a row and holds two prestigious AA Rosettes. He has also recently acquired the lease for The Golden Cross Inn, in Cirencester, Gloucestershire.

Steve has worked with chef Philip Howard before, and has hosted dining evenings at The Swan, the famous Oxfordshire, countryside pub.

Phil Howard said:

“Having the opportunity to offer some wonderful and seasonal menus using stunning local produce in one of the most beautiful areas in the country feels like a privilege to a chef we go has been confined to London for his entire career.”

“I am ecstatic to finally and officially offer Cygnet catering to the Cotswolds,”

Cygnets Steve Cook explained,

“I came up with the idea after working with Phil when he was the special guest chef for a sold-out evening at the Swan and the feedback so positive I sounded Phil (Howard) out about the idea.

“With two titans of the industry at the helm we believe we have something that is unique of great quality and affordable. We have had a huge response to the news since we launched the website, with weddings and private dining parties especially popular. Mark was recently named the best game chef in the country, so there has been a huge number of enquiries from potential shoot parties. They can or we can design a bespoke menu with you to make sure every event is unique to the individual guests. We can work around most budgets and catering requests. There is even the incredible option of having one, or both of, these legends of British cooking personally cater your event, whether it is for 10 or 250 guests.”
