Roberta fell in love with cooking aged 16 after doing work experience in a kitchen. Before she opened The Little Chartroom, Roberta worked for chef Tom Kitchin and then moved to Castle Terrace with Dominic Jack.
Her style of cooking is influenced by French techniques and her menu is traditionally Scottish, drawing inspiration from Scottish produce, wild game and her favourite children's books.
