Experienced Freelance Chef available for Event Catering, Field sports, Parties and dinners in the Scottish Borders

Lucy was born and raised in Adelaide, Australia – a city well known for its incredible ethnic culinary diversity and market culture. This has most certainly contributed to her adventurous style in the kitchen today. The wide variety of fresh produce available and most importantly her parent’s extensive backyard fruit and vegetable patch, was where Lucy’s love of fresh, good food began!

Overseas travels led Lucy to the Scottish Borders in 2000 where she met, and later married, farmer Robert. They farm Cowbog near Kelso, with their well-known Hereford herd, an assortment of other animals, two children and a very large Kitchen Garden! They also run their farm diversification, Wilson’s Farm and Kitchen.

Lucy is Head Chef and Creative Director of Wilson’s Farm and Kitchen, which specialises in Field to Fork farm tours and unique dining experiences, showcasing the very best ingredients from the farm and garden, and other fantastic Scottish Borders produce. At Wilson’s Farm and Kitchen, Lucy is committed to high provenance food events for lovers of good food!

Lucy undertakes some private work including Dinner Parties, Field Sport Lunches and Dinners. She has become particularly well known for her popular Curry Nights and Takeaways which started during the Covid-19 pandemic. Lucy along with the Wilson Farm & Kitchen team also cater for drinks receptions as well as weddings and parties with their portable charcoal grill BBQ.
