MY EXPERIENCE
15+ Years in the Kitchen
For over 15 years, I've worked in professional kitchens across Türkiye and the UK, gaining experience in everything from busy bistros and smokehouses to Rosette-awarded restaurants.
Over the years, I've developed skills not only in cooking but also in butchery, menu development, kitchen management, and front-of-house operations. Every kitchen has shaped my style and strengthened my passion for creating honest, flavour-driven food using quality ingredients.

TESTIMONIALS
What clients say
4.9 / 5 average from 23+ verified reviews across England
“Mete catered our wedding in Cheshire last summer for 110 guests and honestly the food was the talk of the day. He worked with us for months beforehand to tailor a 3-course menu that balanced classic British flavours with Mediterranean touches. Vegan and gluten-free guests were looked after brilliantly. Calm, warm and completely on top of every detail.”
