Pamela graduated with a Diploma and Degree in Nutritional Therapy and Nutritional Science in 2009 and has since worked as a Registered Nutritionist both in North Norfolk and London. Pamela’s main area of interest is gastrointestinal health, specifically the microbiome and how we can influence the bacteria in our gut to exert health benefits. She undertook postgraduate studies in Personalised Nutrition at Middlesex University which allowed her to gain a deeper understanding of the Functional Medicine model, nutrigenetics and further personalisation of nutritional interventions.

Pamela is registered and regulated by the British Association for Applied Nutritional Therapy (BANT) and is a member of The Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), which is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority, the regulatory body that assures standards of practice in all areas of healthcare.

Alongside her nutrition work, Pamela has worked within the luxury private service sector for 18 years, managing all aspects of private properties, households and events for discerning clientele in the UK and overseas.

Originally from Scotland, Pamela now lives in North Norfolk. She enjoys yoga, travel, reading and film and spends spare time walking in the beautiful Norfolk countryside and swimming in the sea.

kieron

From an early age, Kieron’s first passion has been cooking. His career has been firmly entrenched in hospitality, seeing him running a boutique guest house and ski lodge in New Zealand to a Villa in St.Tropez, before settling in a Manor House in his beloved North Norfolk – where he spent the last sixteen years managing the catering and events for an ultra high net worth family.

The focus of his cooking is in creating inspired Vegetarian and Vegan dishes that balance the needs of personalised nutrition. With a desire to make ‘low impact food’, using local and seasonal ingredients is key. With an abundance of produce on the doorstep, Kieron enjoys sourcing the best local ingredients.

Whilst Kieron loves to cook and eat fish, a trip to a restaurant in Berlin sparked his passion for plant-based food having been absolutely blown away by their creative and innovative menu, which has inspired him to place plants front and centre in his own menus.

Kieron loves the Norfolk life and enjoys travel, photography and architecture.

"Kieron & Pamela are an outstanding team...creating the most beautiful environment and delicious and beautifully presented food"
