Some announcements just feel different. This is one of them ❤️
We’re incredibly proud to welcome Crystal to the Chef de la Maison family. 👨‍🍳

Crystal is currently studying at Peterborough Regional College’s culinary school — the same place the OG Chef Nathan trained. That full circle moment is not lost on us. It genuinely means something, and then some.

In July, Crystal joins us at Allia Future Business Centre for a full month of induction, immersing herself in every aspect of Chef de la Maison.

Then in September, when her college schedule is confirmed, she steps into a brand new role we’ve created especially for her: Academy Chef.
This role brings a dedicated, chef-inspired focus to our Academy programme. Crystal will work on a live kitchen line alongside our brigade 👉 handmaking butter, breads, cakes, bakes and sauces, developing specials, building menus, and bringing real food science and consistency to everything we do.

She’s already gained outstanding experience at The Royal Automobile Club, Pall Mall, working alongside some of the best in the business. That foundation, combined with what she’ll build here, is going to be something special.
She’ll be supported by expert caterers and bakers Emma and Toni, master barista Sanjay, and The OG Chef. And she’ll work directly alongside the young people on our Academy programme showing them what culinary craft really looks like from the inside.

This is the perfect extension to the brilliant work already being done by the instructors at PRC and our own Academy team. College and real world kitchen. Theory and practice. Side by side.
Crystal 👉 whites on, brigade ready. Welcome to the family.

🙌 Grow - thrive - feel good 😊

When you book with Chef de la Maison, you’re doing more than ordering great food. 🍽️

You’re helping change a young person’s life.

We’re proud to work in partnership with Allia, DWP and the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority, with more exciting links and opportunities on the way.

So next time you’re looking for catering — choose food that gives back. 🌿

☕ Exciting news. Chef de la Maison has a new coffee partner and we couldn’t be prouder to announce it.

This morning we had the pleasure of meeting with Laura of Two Chimps Coffee in Oakham, and it’s official: Two Chimps are now our coffee partner across Chef de la Maison.
Our hospitality at Allia Future Business Centre will proudly serve Two Chimps filter coffee. Both our café at Allia and The Grange Venue will be serving their espresso beans.
But this partnership is about much more than great coffee.

Next week, our entire team receive masterclass barista training delivered by Two Chimps, right here at Allia. That investment in our people matters deeply to us. Education, skills, confidence = that’s what builds a truly exceptional hospitality team.
So why Two Chimps?
✅ Organic & ethically sourced
✅ Locally roasted in Rutland
✅ Carbon neutral
✅ Unmatched education and team training
✅ Real social impact and wellbeing values

At Chef de la Maison, we don’t just choose partners for the product. We choose partners who share our values, invest in people, and make us better.
Two Chimps does all of that.
Thank you Laura, Andy and the whole Two Chimps team. Our education begins and we’re just getting started. 🐵
