The Retreat Chef
Satori Food is a catering company by chef Joe Nicholson, specialising in catering yoga and wellness retreats across the South West.
I believe food should nourish both body and soul. My colourful, dishes are bursting with fresh seasonal flavour, texture, and vitality. Whether you’re hosting an intimate gathering or a large celebration, I craft vibrant meals that delight the senses and leave a lasting impression.
Experience the art of plant-based dining with Satori—where every dish is made with passion, purpose, and a touch of culinary magic.
“Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”
Michael Pollan
I aim to tread the thin line between health and sustainability. Like everything seen through the human lens – there is always a balance to strike, but catering an organic plant-based menu allows the table to be set for an inclusive dining experience.
Whether you’re a seasoned vegan or a devout omnivore; together we all eat vegetables, fruits, nuts, grains and seeds. And at the Satori table, these ingredients will be exalted and celebrated, leaving you joyfully fighting over the last morsel.
I specialise in retreat catering. I can cater weddings, corporate events, film-shoots, parties, buffets or smaller celebration meals. I can even just deliver show-stopping dishes for the vegan contingent of an else wise omnivorous affair.
Look out for my pop-ups across Somerset in 2025.
Retreat Catering
The retreat kitchen is where my heart truly lies. Marrying the decadent menu planning of my restaurant training with my ever-growing passion for sustainability and wellness. My plant-based menus explore the ripest, freshest seasonal produce, with vegetables often picked on the day they are served.
Working seasonally with a local grower ensures minimal food miles on the fresh produce, and enables me to utilise ingredients at their absolute best. All ingredients, fresh or pantry are organically produced where possible, with minimal packaging and waste.
One of my greatest joys is crafting nourishing plates from the season’s finest. Healthy food with restaurant flare. I work with whole foods with my whole heart, approaching each dish holistically. I cherish the moments spent with guests, sharing stories, recipes, and culinary passion.
I find joy in perfectly paired flavours that dance across the plate and let the quality of the ingredients really sing.
At every retreat, mealtimes become a highlight—where guests gather around what often becomes the centrepiece of any gathering: the food.
Private Catering
Whether you’d like a 3 course feast, or a party spread, sharing plates or simply something fancy for the vegan contingent – I’ve got you covered. I can come alone and serve up your tailored feast, or work with a team of waitresses to ensure your event runs without a hitch. We can serve dinner, introduce the food and keep glasses topped up- or simply plate the food and slip out the back door. However you envisage your special occasion, we’ll happily adapt our process to suit.
Why not bring the fine dining experience of a restaurant straight to your home? Let me take care of every culinary detail, allowing you to relax and enjoy the company of those you hold dear. Whatever your requirement, we have a well-oiled, perfectly-seasoned solution. My private chef service offers you the chance to have a say in your own personalised menu to elevate any occasion. Whether it’s an intimate dinner party or a grand celebration, I curate dishes that surprise and delight, using the freshest seasonal ingredients and a commitment to sustainability.
Food is always a talking point, and I pride myself in presenting food really worth talking about it Each plate is a reflection of my love for food, designed to engage all the senses and keep your guests talking long after the meal.
