Fig and Spoon is a catering, private chef and recipe creator company, run by me, William Mowbray. I am based in northern Spain but work predominantly across the UK. I specialise in creating and cooking bespoke menus for brand launches, corporate dinners, events and private clients' parties. I am also Head Chef for Charles Dowding cooking with his beautiful produce, for his renowned No Dig courses.

I am inspired by my Spanish living, Moro training, my passion for Italian flavours and beautiful produce from market gardens. Which, I had the pleasure of cooking with at my own restaurant in a walled garden in Helmsley, Yorkshire and now with the fantastic Charles Dowding.

Below are just a few examples of dishes I have cooked and menus I have created.

Testimonials

  • "Will has prepared great food for many of my Homeacres Day and Weekend courses. He has a way of making great vegetables taste even better. He works brilliantly in a small non commercial kitchen, often having to make last minute changes to his menu when I surprise him with a harvest delivered from the garden.”

    Charles Dowding. No Dig Gardening

  • “It’s been a pleasure working with Will on an open-kitchen event.The food was perfect: fresh and flavourful! All our guests were really pleased with the rhythm of the service, their interaction with the Chef and loved seeing them preparing the food in this open kitchen. Will definitely contributed to the success of the event!”

  • "Will cooked an incredible dinner party for me and my friends, using all of my homegrown vegetables from the garden. He came up with some really imaginative dishes, which were delicious. I would highly reccomend him"
