About Us

Since 1999, weve been championing flavour and creating memorable, linger over-able dishes for work meetings, conferences and events

The Good Eating Company was cooked up around the kitchen table, over several bottles of Ribera del Duero. We had the dream of bringing restaurant-quality food to corporate dining at a time when uninspiring sandwiches and soggy salads were all that were typically on offer.

Since then, the team have been delivering food and drink services to an impressive menu of clients up and down the country.

We no longer work around a kitchen table, but our approach remains the same: moreish food, quaffable drinks and good company
