Creative, magical plant-based Retreat catering
Hi, I am Chef Andy, the Owner and Head Chef of Poco Culina. I founded my business in 2015 with a desire to cook flamboyant, colourful, beautifully presented foods that are entirely plant-based just have such an amazing synergy with all types of retreats – Yoga, Spiritual, Mindfulness, Personal Development, Meditation to name a few.
Obviously I am is completely at home in retreat environments whether one day or residential. Cooking and serving barefoot is normal!! As is an empathy and respect for the retreat environment.
The menus that I craft for retreats include outstanding flavours from the Mediterranean and the East, but with a clear focus on nutritional balance and with the right amount of boost and energy release at key parts of each day.
It is also important that food brings people together and is served in a way to enhance the social experience and unity at breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Eat a rainbow everyday (several times) with Poco retreat catering
I just love it so much if I can make people happy as they eat my carefully prepared food – that is my passion and driving-force. Can I make you and your retreat guests happy too?
All types and sizes of Retreat catering
Allergy-Friendly Options
I excel at catering to various dietary needs, including gluten-free and allergen-free options. My dishes are free from artificial colours, preservatives, unrefined sugar and unsustainable ingredients.
Sustainability and Ethics
Operating with integrity and kindness, I prioritise organic, sustainable and responsibly sourced ingredients whenever possible. I maintain high standards for quality and presentation and make everything by hand in my Poco kitchen. Clients can always rely on me to deliver the best food.
A healthier choice – my dedication to creativity, sustainability, and the inclusion of various dietary needs makes me an exciting, healthier choice for those looking for plant-based and allergen-friendly catering.
Can’t wait to hear from you.
