Masterchef

As a Master Chef of Great Britain Darren has learnt his trade working alongside some of the finest chefs in top class hotels throughout the UK. After leaving college he worked under Jim Sines at the Stanneylands Hotel, Wilmslow – at the time one of the finest eateries in the North West.

Working with Two Star Michelin chefs such as Nico Ladenis and Raymond Blanc have helped fine tune Darren’s cooking and working at hotels such as the Gleneagles Hotel, Auchterarder and the Bath Spa Hotel have taught Darren that consistently high standards will bring success.

His first head chef position was at Danesfield House, Marlow where he helped to achieve the status as one of the finest country house hotels in England. At the age of 28yrs Darren returned home to the northwest to lead the Highmoor restaurant to Lancashire life magazines restaurant of the year.

Darren joined Carringtons in 1999 and alongside wife Helen became co-director in January 2004. A local lad he firmly believes in the use of local produce and suppliers whenever possible and this has forged great relationships with all our main suppliers who can tailor make to any requirements that we may have.

Testimonials

Here are some testimonials from customers who have used our expert catering services:

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for your impeccable organisation and service on Saturday – I was so impressed with your professionalism and seamless service.

Your entire team helped make my daughter’s wedding a wonderful occasion and a day that we will all remember for a very long time.

It was lovely to know that we were in such capable hands and so many of the guests commented on the lovely food. Everything tasted wonderful – even the bread which was excellent.

Thank you all so very much…

Thank you for the excellent service you provided recently for my Valentines Day surprise. From to finish the process was easy and efficient. From ordering the food to the delivery to my home, Carringtons made it a simple process.

Once the food had arrived the instructions that accompanied the delivery helped make me look like a master chef! The instructions covered how to cook and then present the dishes which took away any stress I may have felt.

I have no hesitation in recommending Carringtons Catering for their high quality service and food. I will always leave it to Carringtons and never to chance.
