VEGanuary's Chef
Guest Chef

Catherine Humprys

Catherine has spent the past 40 years creating and enjoying plant-based food and has been working as a professional chef since 2019.

Wildings Vegan Kitchen was established to meet the growing demand for home-cooked vegan food in North Wales, where she’s lived since 2007.

What began as friends encouraging her to share her creations, quickly progressed into cooking for retreats, private dinners, events and pop-ups. Having been purely self-taught, she then trained at Demuth’s cookery school in Bath, where she learned so much more about making not only food bursting with interesting flavours and textures but nourishing food that looks beautiful on a plate.

Reviews from past retreats

I loved every part of my retreat at Sunset Bay! I went to their first ever Veganuary retreat and it was so relaxing, refreshing and nourishing. I feel like I spent a week there although it was only three days! I would highly recommend and will happily come back, could not have wished for a better experience for my first trip to Wales 🙂
Best vegan retreat in Wales!

At a crossroads in my life I decided I needed some ‘me’ time and to get away for a while. I couldn’t have chosen a better place to come. The team is absolutely fabulous and the 5 days were perfectly put together and delivered to the highest standard. I will definitely book again and would not hesitate to recommend Sunset Bay Well-being Retreats ♥️
Say ‘yes’ to this Retreat! It’s the best 🤩
