Our Story
Our journey began with Simon Goggin's determination to regain control over the ingredients he worked with. After 19 years of working as an Executive Chef for a big London caterer, Simon decided to break free from the supply chain and focus on using high-quality, seasonal produce. This passion for ingredients has remained at the heart of our business ethos, and we're proud to work with small companies who share our commitment to sustainability and local sourcing.

Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our food purchasing policy, and we're constantly seeking out new suppliers who share our values.

Catering Reviews: A Mixed Bag of Experiences
Disastrous Events
Dr. Bren's two identical reviews describe a catastrophic experience with a caterer for a two-day event for 80 people. The food was a disaster, and the catering staff served tap water instead of the expensive bottled water paid for. Three guests suffered from food poisoning, leaving the hosts feeling embarrassed in front of their esteemed guests. The caterer's incompetence was evident, and the reviewer took action by reporting them to the authorities.
Positive Experiences at Cafes and Catering Services
On the other hand, Rosamund Woodroffe's two identical reviews praise the North Lodge Cafe, describing it as a restful and calm place with excellent staff, good coffee, and cakes. The staff are kind-hearted and efficient, making it a pleasant experience. However, she does not recommend the sandwiches, which are kept for four days after making.
Sara Hook's two identical reviews highly recommend Cooks & Partners for catering business events, praising their bespoke and personable service, top-rated food, and incredible customer service. They safely delivered and flawlessly executed the event, leaving the reviewer eager to work with them again.
Barry Watson's two identical reviews simply express gratitude for the fantastic food and service throughout his event, with no faults to be found.
