Executive Chef 1 - Sodexo

The Good Eating Company was cooked up in London in 1999 around the kitchen table, over several bottles of Ribera del Duero. We had the dream of bringing restaurant-quality food to onsite dining at a time when uninspiring sandwiches and soggy salads were typically on offer. We're passionate about delectable, fresh food. We take pride in crafting imaginative and well-balanced dishes daily, with a straightforward philosophy: collaborating with forward-thinking organizations that value their members and seek exceptional, creative dining experiences.

The food we make shapes our culture, builds our communities, and connects us all. We want to inspire the best shared food experiences through innovative, sustainable solutions.
