About Us
We are a family-run business that has been offering catering in Oxfordshire for 28 years, using local, organic and fairly traded food way before it was a ‘thing’! We have always operated with ethical considerations, paying fair, including diverse staff, supporting and encouraging staff, paying suppliers fairly and really valuing our customers. We are a family of mum and four adult kids (as well as two small ones). We have heritage in Southern Europe, North Africa, Middle East and African Caribbean! Our food is therefore eclectic and we love global, fresh and vibrant flavours.
