Definition of bon viveur | Pronunciation: /bɒ̃ viːˈvəː/
n: (plural bon viveurs or bons viveurs) pronuc. same | another term for bon vivant
Origin: mid-19th century: pseudo-French, from French bon 'good' and viveur 'a living person' on the pattern of bon vivant.
BOND VIVEUR’s ethos is very simple: to share my love and passion for simple but good, honest, delicious food, showcasing the best local and regionally sourced produce and artisan products wherever possible, along with a diverse range of other ingredients, to create mouthwatering dishes.
As a self-taught Chef / Cook / Alchemist, I combine flavours and cooking techniques, creating dishes that are a fusion of tastes from around the world, that are close to my heart. Dishes bursting with explosions of colour, flavour and texture designed to send all of the senses on a culinary journey, served in what has become my signature style - “social eating” - bowls and platters for sharing, that encourage conversation and interaction, both important elements to the enjoyment of eating and that I hope will leave you with a memorable and unique food experience.
I see my food as a reflection of my personality:
Colourful - exciting - hedonistic - exotic – visual, with a dash of unpredictability! A result of my Anglo-Caribbean heritage - a fusion of British eccentricity with a laidback vibe!
Cooking for other people is highly personal, intimate and an act of nourishment from which I derive real pleasure and I see it as a privilege to be able to share this with other people from all walks of life, backgrounds and cultures.
I look forward to sharing my passion with you and taking your senses on a culinary adventure of discover
_ Rory (aka BOND VIVEUR)
