Simon Bew
Simon has cooked for remote camps for over 30 years. He’s spent extensive time in the High Arctic and Antarctica, and has also cooked in Michelin starred restaurants. Providing exceptional food has always been a love of his, especially when he gets to provide it in remote and wild locations with minimal supplies—people don’t expect luxury quality foods in such places, and he enjoys surprising them.
Outside of cooking, Simon has over 20 years of experience as a medic, and has had diverse hands-on experiences. Plus, he has a steep familiarity with camp and helicopter logistics.
Why does he do what he does? Because he loves experiencing new cultures and seeing new places—both of which he gets plenty of when he works for remote camps, especially in northern Canada where so few people go. He finds great joy in meeting new people and experiencing the wildness of Canada. His job is an adventurous way of life, and he wouldn’t change it for anything.

2.
A Menu Unique To Your Camp
— no meal is planned without first consulting the tastes and preferences of you and your crew. None of our menus are the same; they’re always a reflection of the camp they’re made for.
