Southwest Retreats
Retreats provide an opportunity for like-minded individuals to come together and share new experiences. A.P. Chef loves to cater for both private and corporate retreats and believes that cooking is not just about feeding, but also about uniting individuals and creating memories for people through food. We cater for a vast array of different retreats, including yoga, well-being, song writing, wild swimming and corporate work retreats.
A.P. Chef’s Full Catering Package
Feeding a large group of people, sourcing food and managing a budget is a very time consuming job therefore A.P. Chef takes this hassle off your hands and provides a full retreat catering package.
The A.P. Chef approach & bespoke Menu Planning
Ali Pumfrey creates well balanced menus with a focus on nutrition and gut health by incorporating many different varieties of plants and some ferments onto the menu plan. Locally sourced meat and fish is usually included on the menu plan throughout the retreat but not for every meal. However, it is understood that each retreat has different catering needs and we are happy to offer bespoke menu plans to suit.
Booking & Pricing
Retreats are quoted on an individual basis, on a sliding scale based on numbers of guests, also taking into account how many meals, schedule, whether vegan, vegetarian or meat and fish. An assistant will be required for retreats that are larger than 12-14 people or ones with more complex requirements. A 20% booking fee is required to secure the booking.
