Marg created a delicious and nutritious menu for my retreat and everything was 5* Booking and communication was excellent and all guests were fully satisfied after our 3-course meal. Marg explained the grazing starters to us and linked to the nutritious qualities which was really useful to know. A vegetarian and lactose free menus were easily catered for. Would definitely book again. Thanks Marg.

Had a beautiful private dining experience catered for by Margaret with a friend of mine. Beautifully presented meal, absolutely delicious 😋 I couldn't recommend Margaret enough. She adjusted the meal to cater for my friend who is gluten free and vegan. Thank you Margaret. Highly recommend!

Marg can as our retreat Chef here at Chetham Farm Retreat and she was wonderful, from initial booking to the actual event. Communication was excellent and so was the food.

I have booked her for my next even straight away. Mandy Worsley. Retreat Owner.

Margaret joined us at our workplace to lead a session for our Menopause Café event, where she focused on the important topic of hormonal health. During her presentation, she shared valuable insights about menopause, exploring its various stages and symptoms. She also highlighted the connection between gut health and hormonal balance, emphasizing how lifestyle choices can impact overall well-being. The discussion was both informative and engaging, leaving our staff members with a deeper understanding of these critical health issues.

We accessed the Make Your Cycle Work For You training, and it was really useful to learn how the different hormones in our bodies affect us at different times within our cycle, and what foods we should eat (and exercise to take) to get the most out of ourselves during this time. Margaret was very easy to get along with and easy to listen to whilst being engaging and her food was delicious!! We would definitely recommend using Margaret.

I had been struggling with my weight and my diet when I met Margaret and joining and becoming a member of the harbour has literally been a eye opener and life savour Margaret has taught me to get to know my body, to understand my hormones. She’s introduced me to food that have been helpful in getting me feeling better. Becoming a member of the harbour means you get Margaret’s expertise and experience. She takes a genuine and specific care to hear your needs and issues and has a wealth of knowledge about hormonal help and makes you feel that it’s just you and her . She’s an excellent listener and being a member of the harbour means you get that and so much more I’m grateful for the opportunity and the results I’m seeing already
