Elena Marsh
Founder & Head Chef
Twenty years in fine dining and a lifelong obsession with seasonal produce. Elena designs every signature menu.
Since 2012
From a farmers' market stall to 600+ events.
Fresh Plate began when chef Elena Marsh started selling seasonal lunch boxes at the Greenfield farmers' market. Word spread fast: the food was honest, generous and unmistakably fresh.
Within two years, neighbours were asking Elena to cater birthdays, then weddings, then company launches. Today Fresh Plate is a full team of chefs, event coordinators and service staff — but the philosophy hasn't changed since day one.
We cook the way we'd cook for our own families: real ingredients, made from scratch, served with genuine warmth.
