About Fells' Kitchen
My name is Chris and I have been a chef in the North East of England for over 25 years. I started the company Epicurus in 1998, (www.epicurus.co.uk) which has, over the years, grown into a very well regarded catering, equipment hire and staff hire company.
Hiking in the hills and mountains has always been a passion of mine. I've spent many years walking and camping in The Cheviots and The Lake District, so love spending time in the outdoors and generally up a hill! When the Covid 19 pandemic hit in early 2020, I saw Epicurus almost disappear overnight so like many business owners had to re-evaluate my situation. With no work on, I found solace in the hills and mountains, as did many other people at this time. I hit upon the idea of combining both my chef skills and love of the outdoors and came up with Fells' Kitchen; I would take people out in the hills and mountains, but I'd serve them lunch too! However, I wasn't going to just serve them some sandwiches. I'd provide them a gourmet meal and cook it over a wood fired stove. Obviously! I signed up for a weeks course to train to become a Mountain Leader and then another week for further training and assessment. I graduated as a qualified Mountain Leader with the Mountain Training Association in November 2020, so I'm now able to lead groups of people in the hills and mountains of the UK. Since then I have also qualified to lead groups in various ghylls in The Lakes & North Pennines. Personally, I’ve found getting into the hills to be a great way of clearing the mind, relieving stress, helping with depression, gaining confidence, learning outdoor skills and generally staying positive, healthy, mentally & physically. A day in the hills or mountains is a perfect team building, corporate experience & outdoor adventure day, complete with gourmet catering! It certainly makes a difference form the usual alcohol fuelled corporate events. If you would like to like to experience an adventure day hiking or ghyll scrambling in the hills or mountains with a fantastic food experience, then please check out the 'booking' page for pricing and booking information. I operate primarily in The Cheviot Hills, The Lake District, North Yorkshire & The North Pennines, but I'm happy to work in any other part of the UK by arrangement. I'm a fully qualified Mountain Leader and member of The Mountain Training Association. I am fully insured through the Mountain Training Association's chosen insurance supplier, Marsh Sport. I have held a 5 star food hygiene rating with North Tyneside Council since 1998.
