GREIG WILDING, EXECUTIVE CHEF & FOUNDER
THE HIGHLAND KITCHEN
Greig Wilding graduated from Cheltenham Gloscat catering college with an Advanced GNVQ Hospitality and Catering Diploma in the mid 90’s. As part of his course he chose to do 3 months’ work experience under the supervision of Alan Dann at Lower Slaughter Manor.
On leaving college Greig then did his first few years training with Michael Croft at Calcot Manor where he developed a strong work ethic, learning a wealth of classical cooking skills.
After a year travelling Australia, working in Perth, Exmouth, Broom and Sydney; Greig met the executive chef of the world famous Sidney Opera House, on returning to Calcot to work in event catering he was then 'head hunted' to work for a previous sous chef of the manor who too had been head hunted for Westonbirt Arboretum.

A few years later Greig decided to opt out of chasing a busy catering career in London in favour of a move to the Scottish Highlands. Having spent the last 10 years in Scotland, a diverse mix of opportunities arose for Greig, not just in catering but being able to explore and train in new areas of work; including, dry stone walling, chainsaw tree felling, Christmas tree extraction and even now being able to drive a mini digger, Manitou and 20 ton loader.
Greig started his own event catering company in 2014 under the name of the Highland Kitchen. From here he offers client's tailor made menus suiting their specific tastes, providing a catering service that is a little more personal and interesting where clients get to try new things and exciting flavours.
