Catering that fits any event
Corporate events & company functions. From annual awards dinners to team away days, we make corporate event catering simple. Stock the venue freezer ahead of time and serve a menu that actually impresses - without needing a catering team on-site to pull it off.
Private parties & celebrations. Birthdays, anniversaries, milestone events – whatever the occasion, our meals and buffet food take the pressure off hosting. You get to enjoy the party instead of being stuck in the kitchen sorting platters.
Other organised events. Whatever the occasion, we aim to provide premium quality while cutting out the hassle of preparing the food yourself. With a mix of canapés to puddings and everything in between, get in touch to see how we can help with your specific event.
For the occasions that need a bit more thought
Seasonal events & Christmas catering. Our seasonal menu is built for celebrations – festive mains, party canapés and indulgent puddings that turn any event into an occasion, Christmas parties included. Delivery slots go quickly, so the earlier you get in touch the better.
Dietary-friendly for every guest. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options come as standard across our event catering ranges. Every COOK meal has full allergen and nutritional labelling, so you can cater confidently for mixed dietary needs.
Why work with COOK?
Our food is hand-cooked not ultra-processed, made by real chefs from real ingredients. That commitment to quality is why, every year, our meals and puddings win Great Taste Awards from the Guild of Fine Food.
Carbon neutral kitchens. We use 100% renewable electricity and green gas in our kitchens, shops and offices, and have embedded our environmental goals in what we do every day.
Sustainable packaging. All of our trays are made from 70% recycled content on sustainably-sourced material, and 97% of it can be recycled again after use.
Life-changing meals. RAW Talent is our programme for people struggling to find employment after a period of homelessness, time in prison or with a refugee status.
"All residents comment on how delicious the food is… couldn't recommend highly enough!"
