cairnity was founded by Ian Godfrey in Banchory, Royal Deeside, on two decades in professional kitchens, including the fine-dining pass at Rockliffe Hall, where three AA Rosettes were earned. That experience shapes everything: the questions asked at brief, the calibre expected of every candidate, and advice that is always honest and plainly given.

Whether you are a private household or a Rosette kitchen hiring, or a chef or manager making your next move, every enquiry is met with the same dedication, discretion and respect for the craft. Whatever stage you're at, Ian would be glad to hear from you.
