History and Inspiration

The Great Food Company believes that great food evokes laughter and love. You invite everyone you love to your wedding – the most important meal you will eat; friends that make you laugh to dinner; a canapé soirée for important clients

The Mediterranean is the deep, blue heart that gives life to the countries that surround her. To speak of Mediterranean cooking, to make one language describe the couscous and dried fruit of Morocco, Greek Octopus, Italian Prosciuttos, French Nicoise, Pissaladierres and Catalan Seafood Stew - may seem a fools errand. However, Selby and Clarissa, co-founders of The Great Food Company bring a wealth of knowledge from eight years of travelling and living around the playground of ancient civilizations. This has inspired a fusion of the warmth of Mediterranean and contemporary European food.

“Food is our passion, and our belief is that great food should be kept simple and honest. We are grafting a taste of the Mediterranean to our Traditional Cuisine, creating a contemporary style which sits happily with our experiences. We love the ever recurring elements of the food from our southern neighbours - the oil, saffron and garlic. The olives, anchovies and rosemary. And of course the oranges and lemons. Cooking with these foods and filling the air with their aromas just makes you believe the sun’s on your back.”

What people are saying about
The Great Food Company ...

“Ian and I wanted to thank you and your team at 'The Great Food Company' for the outstanding service you provided for our wedding. I can honestly say that it wouldn't have been the success it was without you. Your advice and suggestions were invaluable and not only did you provide us with fantastic food and wine choices, but you were there to set up, look after everyone and clear up after we left. The day of the wedding was so relaxed thanks to you. You really did go over and above the call of duty.”

Nadia & Ian’s Wedding
Wokingham Town Hall Dec 2011

“'Clarissa is a wedding planner par excellence. From the first discussions we had with her, she made very helpful suggestions regarding our menu choices and how to manage all the elements on the day. In the run up to the day, she was at the end of the phone and email patiently answering questions and giving advice. On our Wedding day, she and Selby were fantastic and I as the bride felt completely confident that all would go to plan - it all exceeded my hopes. The food was wonderful, the tables were beautifully laid, the service was totally unobtrusive and at the end of the day you would not have known that they had ever been in the kitchen. I highly recommend this company and would not hesitate to use them again for any other events.”

Anne Wood, September 2011

“The great food company catered for a garden party for our daughters 50th birthday and the food and the service they provided was second to none. From the time they arrived their professionalism was obvious to everyone and the food served was excellent and innovative. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants excellence in catering from small to large occasions.”

June and Peter Wagg, August 2011

“We were delighted with the party and all our friends had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the food and the Jukebox. We would happily recommend The Great Food Company to all our friends, the quality and the service were excellent.”

Andrew Powell, July 2011

“As an event organiser, what I need is to work with suppliers who you can trust to deliver a good job. That is definitely Clarissa and Selby. The food was outstanding, they worked hard to create a menu that fitted what my client needed, and on the day of the event I could rely on them to deliver the goods. If only all caterers were this good and this reliable!”
