Menus that make money.
Chefs who show up.

Freeman Hospitality is a chef-led consultancy. I redesign menus with full costings and supplier work to bring your cost price down — and when festival season bites, I introduce caterers to chefs I've personally worked alongside.

Festival & event chef staffing

When you're short of chefs in the middle of the season, a CV tells you nothing. Every chef I introduce is someone I've worked services with — people I know can handle long days, field kitchens and volume.

1. Tell me the gigDates, site, volume, rate you're offering.
2. I match from my networkOnly chefs I'd put on my own section.
3. You book them directYou engage and pay the chef directly — no agency mark-up on every hour.
4. One flat introduction feeInvoiced on confirmation. If a chef drops out, I work my list for a replacement.

Freelance chef cover

I also cook. Services, events, holiday and sickness cover — day rate, weekly invoicing, fully insured, Level 2/3 food hygiene. If I'm booked, chances are I know someone good who isn't.

About

A consultant who still cooks

I'm Chris Freeman. I've spent my career in professional kitchens, and I still work services every week. That's the point of Freeman Hospitality: menu advice from someone who has cooked the dish at volume, and staffing introductions from someone who has stood next to the chef on the pass.

Every recommendation I make is one I'd be happy to cook on a Friday night service.
