About Me

I've been a chef for 20+ years.

I am local to the Highlands of Scotland, living in Inverness. I grew up in middle England but met an Isle of Uist lassie and settled. I always wanted to be a chef and I am passionate about food local produce is my inspiration, my cooking reflects this.

I have worked in quality restaurants across the UK and held coveted 2 AA Rosettes for almost 10 years.

Fabulous! Lee was a pleasure to work with throughout. Very accommodating to create a great menu in advance. The meal was delicious (not a morsel left by any of the ten guests) and the kitchen was left spotless afterwards. Highly recommended.

Lee is a fantastic chef! Lee made contact with me in advance of the meal to discuss the menu and confirmed his arrival time to ensure our meal would be served at a time we were happy with. Lee arrived and was 100% self-sufficient and our meal was served on time. Lee had set the table and provided some fresh bread and butter to accompany the meal. From our canapes, right through to dessert the quality of food was absolutely excellent. The portions were generous and provided real value for money. Lee was even kind enough to bring out a birthday cake after dessert and take some photos of us. I would 100% recommend Lee if you want a fantastic meal!

An excellent evening. Chef Lee is both a talented cook and nice guy! His homemade oatcakes are the best I’ve tasted and his seared beef salad, baked salmon and chocolate dome with homemade raspberry ripple parfait were all delicious. We will definitely book him again next time we are on holiday here.

Lee, our Chef, arrived on Time and proceeded to produce a truly memorable meal as part of our family celebrations of a wedding, golden wedding, 40th, 70th birthdays. He produced an array of canopies smoked salmon, mushroom, slow cooked pork belly, scallops and black pudding to tempt the taste buds. The youngest child tried them all and pronounced them all to be “tasty “ she had never tried any of these before. The main course followed, roast beef and all the trimmings, then a truly amazing Pavlova which vanished in seconds. Lee was brilliant cleaning as we went and making the night one which will stay with us for a long time. Many thanks Lee.

We had an incredible evening with Chef Lee Beale. Before the night, he was so easy to deal with and sensitive to particular needs in the menu. The food was phenomenal; such good local ingredients, and the way he adapted at short notice I n response to a supply issue was both generous and entirely in keeping with the rest of the menu. He was so friendly and really helped us understand and enjoy the food. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending him; and hope we get the chance to use him again. Thank you for an unforgettable night.

Amazing time at the big husky lodge. Lee turned up on time, was really friendly And professional. The food was incredible and the kitchen was cleaner than when they turned up by the time they left. The cheese board Lee set for us was so good we have asked him for the names so we can buy more. I would use this company again. Everything was perfect. Thanks so much.
