Company of Cooks Autumn / winter 2012 Introduction We cater for a variety of events across London where we work closely with our clients from their initial enquiry, whether it’s an intimate dinner for 4, gala dinner for 400 or a drinks reception for 4,000.

We believe in menus that feature an honest approach, simplicity, seasonality and quality and are passionate about supporting independent, regional growers and producers.

Our focus is always on the customer. Every event is unique and requires a bespoke solution and individual attention to make it memorable.

We offer a ‘one stop shop’, from taking your initial enquiry through to delivery on the day, providing a personal, flexible, professional and quality-driven service from conception to completion.
