About Us

Fresh food is our passion, people are our strength

Our Story

Since 1989, Connect Catering has been delivering exceptional contract catering across the UK.

Being a family-owned and run business, we believe that loyalty is built through care, respect and support, and we are proud to remain independent in an industry of faceless corporations.


This independence is one of our biggest strengths. It allows us to offer a flexible, responsive and personal service. We value each and every one of our clients, supporting them confidently. 


We are small enough to care, but big enough to support. 

Our Story

We pride ourselves on creating catering solutions that work for you, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.

Every day, our teams prepare and serve fresh, seasonal food for a wide range of organisations, from corporate offices and independent schools to health and care environments.


Our goal has always been simple: to provide outstanding food and fabulous service while looking after our people, our communities and our planet.

I just wanted to give my appreciation to the friendly and helpful team and for the exceptional food that I have been lucky enough to experience.

Food Packaging Business

A note to thank you and the team for an excellent Christmas lunch. Very festively decorated table and staff (loved the reindeer antlers). Feedback from the lunch group was very positive and all left feeling well and truly stuffed.

University

Could you kindly thank everyone in person, especially the Chef and Hall staff who had a late night. I thought the meal was really excellent and very well served. I know our guests enjoyed it very much.

Independent Secondary School

The buffet was very good and presented very well. All the visitors said that they really enjoyed it and the vegan/vegetarian meals were amazing.
