We provide streetfood and bespoke catering for events of all shapes and size anywhere in the UK and Europe. ABOUT MIKE “I have worked in hospitality since the age of 13, moving up and down the county from Derby, Manchester and London across white tablecloth establishments, busy bistros and the odd 5* star hotel. Service, feeding and entertaining is what I am compelled to do and deciding to cater was inevitable. I started the business in my living room in 2011 with Ollie (who has since moved on). In my flat on the Old Kent Road I cooked for and served food to around 30 people twice a week. The seasonal menu was made up of local foragables, sustainable/wild meat, fish and delicious organic vegetables, placing the emphasis on engaging genuine hospitality. Dining with other people is one of the single most important things we do as humans. Whirring along through thick and thin, our market stall, which began life on the front of a bicycle, is the bedrock of the business, it is the place we extoll the virtues (in a non forceful way) of the food we cook, serve and those that produce it. Many of our customers have been with us for almost a decade… they have 9 year old children now who eat our food which I find energising and inspiring. Spending my Saturdays serving hundreds of guests street food is always a pleasure. Throughout our existence we have built an expert team. Our head of weddings has worked at BAFTA for years, catering high end fare for thousands of guests. I have opened and closed two eateries inspired by our travels across Europe and Turkey. Throughout all of this we have cooked for hundreds of wedding clients up and down the county and events catered for diverse clients such as The Guardian, Timorous Beasties, Dishoom and The Dahls, all this whilst maintaining the values and ethics we set out from the beginning; maintaining close relationships with our suppliers, paying people fairly, serving delicious and thought provoking food, keeping ourselves up to date and inspired and having fun whilst working with charitable partners and donating to food banks. 10 years in, I am excited about the prospect of 10 further years in this industry, more weddings, more events and a slightly more complex plan that involves diverse education and a little more hammering home the farm-to-fork mantra, which is non-negotiable for the future of our planet.”

Hi Mike Just wanted to say a big thank you to you and your team. The food was absolutely superb. So many people commented on it! It has really made our wedding! Slowly cooked lamb was spectacular and the mint in Pavlovas was genius. Really lifted the dish onto a different leve…

Hi Michael, We got back from our honeymoon last night and I wanted to drop you a line to thank you so much for everything on our wedding day. We knew the food was going to be amazing, and it really was – it exceeded our expectations – but we hadn't known what to expect in terms…
