Event catering

We are delighted to present our new venture, Square Food Foundation Catering. From delicious seasonal canapés, to sharing feasts and dinner parties, we cater for celebrations, corporate receptions, community events, conferences, weddings and more.

All profits will go back into the charity so your event will be helping to fund Square Food Foundation’s food education work in the community. Please get in touch to find out more..

Our Founder and CEO, Barny Haughton, is the well-loved Bristol restauranteur behind Bordeaux Quay, Quartier Vert and previously Rocinantes.  He founded Square Food Foundation in 2011 in Knowle and with his team has been teaching people from all different walks of life to cook delicious, nutritional food from scratch ever since. Barny has always been asked to cater events and we are now excitingly in a position to be able to launch a dedicated catering arm, with all proceeds feeding back into the charity’s community food education work. Stuart Seth will be heading up the catering alongside Barny. Stuart has 27 years of chef experience starting out with Barny at Rocinantes and more recently at Helen Browning’s Royal Oak gastropub,  Pappadeli, The Ox, and Bianchis Group.

Event catering is a key part of the work of Square Food Foundation. Apart from earning money for the charity, it allows us to talk about our food education work, to include students in a real life experience of hospitality and to support the farmers, growers and producers we depend on for a sustainable food future. Through it, we also hope always to bring you wonderful food and give you a great and memorable experience.
— Barny Haughton, Founder and CEO of Square Food Foundation
