Built by chefs, for the industry
With a huge passion for the industry and skills gained over an extensive catering career, Catering Temps LTD has been designed to assist the industry in securing quality temp chefs to assist in the day to day running of your establishments.
Whether it's holiday or sickness cover, long term cover while recruiting, or just a helping hand, we can find the right chef to suit your needs. If you find the perfect match, we can also discuss temp-to-perm opportunities.
Founded by hospitality professionals with over 20 years of combined industry experience, Catering Temps LTD was born from a deep understanding of the operational challenges facing today's hospitality establishments. We've walked in your shoes and we know the pressure of running a busy kitchen when you're short-staffed.
Our founder has managed kitchen brigades of 65+ chefs across 14 locations, delivered elite sports hospitality for major championship events, and won multiple culinary awards including Hoseasons 'Best in Britain' Food Awards and gold medals in Welsh culinary competitions. This hands-on experience means we truly understand what makes a great temporary chef and what establishments need to succeed.
We exist to bridge the gap between quality freelance chefs and the establishments that need them. Our mission is threefold:
We only work with skilled, reliable chefs who have been thoroughly vetted. Your reputation is on the line, and we take that seriously.
Whether you need cover for a single day, a few weeks, or several months, we adapt to your specific needs and timeline.
We view every placement as the start of a potential long-term relationship. Temp-to-perm opportunities are always available when the fit is right.
Transparent pricing, reliable service, and honest communication. We do what we say we'll do, when we say we'll do it.
Extensive background in hospitality management and operations
Multi-site operational experience in high-volume environments
Multiple accolades including national food awards and culinary gold medals
Delivered catering for major championship events and premium venues
Unlike traditional recruitment agencies, we're not just about filling positions. We're about finding the right match. Our founder's hands-on industry experience means we understand both sides of the equation - what chefs need to thrive and what establishments need to succeed.
We take the time to understand your establishment's culture, cuisine style, and specific requirements. We match you with chefs who have the right skills, the right attitude, and the right fit for your kitchen.
