LED BY CHEF IOANNIS
Food is personal. The way it tastes, the way it looks, and the way it makes your guests feel.
Chef Ioannis brings over 25 years of professional kitchen experience, and a Michelin-standard background, to every Aretsi event. Since 2014 he has cooked Greek and modern British food for events from our kitchen in Hockley, Birmingham, from garden parties and marquees to boardrooms.
A real chef, hands-on at your event. Not corporate, not outsourced. That is the Aretsi way.
