Our Story

Cleverchefs are all about the food.

 

We are experts at making sure that our offer is tailored to each and every client. We have a clear vision to not settle for less than perfection, corners do not get cut and our passion for greatness needs to be replicated in every part of our business. Our partnerships are based on trust and our commitment to provide excellent food & service consistently throughout the life of our partnership. Cleverchefs started back in 2015 with a unique approach to its food.

 

Catering for high profile weddings, events and workplace restaurants gave Cleverchefs the attention to detail that still lives on within Cleverchefs to this day, Cleverchefs is now exclusively focused on providing creative food to the education catering sector & workplace catering.

 

We are a chef-led business with a serious bunch of foodies in the team. Independently run we are nimble, which makes us powerful and able to allow our teams of experts to create and feel empowered, giving them a sense of ownership. We are on a mission to shake things up a bit. Food should be the highlight of your day whether that be in a school or the workplace.  Our food is always handmade by our teams using the very best produce. Our success depends on that food being served in a professional manner, we know that good service goes hand in hand so we pay special attention to making sure that any teams we manage have our vision and understand what it takes to call yourself a Cleverchef.

​

TRUSTED

Experts

Cleverchefs was born out of the desire to create a partnership culture with our clients and to become that trusted expert in all areas of our clients business that involves food or related services.

​

We strive to make our partnerships less transactional and more of a joint venture. Of course we excel in food, the clue is in the name, but we also take all the other bits really seriously too. So our health & safety has a dedicated team that solely focus on keeping our customers and team very safe indeed. Clear billing and invoicing from day one, it is vital that you feel in control and understand what is being charged and where it is for so we have a really easy to understand financial system. 

​

We understand that every site is unique with its own set of things that need to be followed. We spend time making sure our suppliers understand your exact needs when coming on to site with deliveries so there are no unnecessary problems from day one.

​

"Cleverchefs are really committed to making our service stand out, what is unique about them from our previous experiences is the level of support we get and that we have direct contact with decision makers"

CHEF-LED

Meet our owner -

Founder, Director & Ceo

I founded Cleverchefs with a serious passion for creative food & impeccable service.

​

I have been a chef for over 22 years in some of the best restaurants & places around, giving me the vision to understand what perfection means & create offers that stand out in many sectors of the hospitality industry. I have a serious eye for detail and a constant drive for perfection, which is what I think gives Cleverchefs that edge over other caterers.

​

But what makes me tick, well I live and breathe the hospitality world, I'm not ashamed to say I am in love with it. One of my favourite quotes is from Steve Jobs:

​

"The only way to do great work is to love what you do"

​

I'm a real foodie and still love to cook, I revel in nurturing new talent and giving people opportunities, using the skills that were passed down to me. It's all about passing it on and making a difference. As a business owner, I do feel I have a huge responsibility to help make Cleverchefs as sustainable as possible.

 

I think the one word that people would say sums me up is passionate, I truly believe in what we are doing at Cleverchefs and I hope we can make a difference in people's experience with food and service.
