Meat the team, part 3 🔪🔥
Say hello to Chef Tim Carr — co-founder of Citreus and the man with over 40 years of kitchens behind him. Give him a follow 👉 Tim Carr
Trained at Cornwall Catering College, Tim cut his teeth in London at the RAF Club in Piccadilly before rising to Sous Chef at De Beers in the City. He went on to become Executive Chef at Marriott Hotels, running a team of 14 chefs across multiple sites, then moved into contract catering with ESS (Compass Group) — overseeing 5 kitchens across 2 RAF bases, including summer balls for 1000 guests and fine dining in the Officers’ Mess.
Tim was also ahead of the curve on street food long before it went mainstream in the UK.
In 2016 his path led him to the East Midlands, where he teamed up with local chef Craig Floate — and in 2021, Citreus Professional Catering was born.
Give him a grill, a hog roast or a smoker and he’s in his element — rain or shine, he’ll be out there making it happen. Big, bold flavours are his signature, and he always goes above and beyond for our guests. Oh, and don’t get him started on his cigar collection. 🚬🔥
