About Kemi

Kemi Nevins is a former nurse and has been at the heart of the Cardiff food scene for 25 years. She has run 3 successful cafes in Cardiff, most recently Kemi’s in Pontcanna that she ran with her son Patrick.

We are fortunate Kemi will be joined by her son Patrick – who is taking leave from his busy London restaurant job – to join our nourishment team. Kemi now works as a food consultant, and joins us as Chief Nourisher for her second Compassionate Mental Health Gathering.
