For retreat hosts

The kitchen shouldn’t be the most stressful room in the house.

You’ve planned every sunrise yoga session and sound bath. Then twenty guests arrive with twenty dietary needs.

We take the kitchen. Plant-forward food that nourishes and still feels like a treat, every allergy handled, every meal on time. And a chef who comes out of the kitchen to host the room.

Your guests go home talking about the food. You go home rested.

A little bit healthy, a little bit naughty. Every single day.

What every retreat gets

Sorted, start to finish.

A menu built with you

Planned ahead with your hosts, matched to the programme, the guests and every dietary need.

Every day, fully run

Market shopping, prep, cooking and a full kitchen clean-down, with an assistant at our side.

A host, not just a chef

We come out and meet your guests, explain the food and read the room. Fresh flowers on the table included.

From retreat hosts

Ask the people who booked us.

Lara cooked every meal at our first Atlas Cove retreat: several courses each, all organic, local and plant-based, high in fibre and protein, and every wish our guests had, she found a way to make. The guests raved about her food, and working with her was easy and uncomplicated, she was always one step ahead of what we needed.

Lara was the missing piece to make my yoga retreat pure magic. She nourished us with her warm heart, life-changing sourdough and incredible meals. We couldn’t stop talking about the food and her wonderful energy for weeks!

It felt like bringing a high-end restaurant into our home. Warm, friendly and a truly delicious dinner. Cannot recommend Chef Lara enough.
