Firstly, Tell Us About Yourself

My name is Simon Chipperfield, head chef and founder of Tayberry Foods LTD, which I run in partnership with my wife of 10 years Elizabeth. We live in my wife’s home town; the beautiful seaside town of Deal, Kent with our 3 year old son and pet cat. We enjoy all things outdoors and spend most of our free time at the beach, in the garden, walking or visiting family.

Tell Us About Tayberry Foods LTD

At Tayberry Foods LTD, we believe that the best things in life are edible!
Delivering exceptional quality, bespoke dining experiences using the finest local ingredients is the philosophy which lies at the heart of our business.
We pride ourselves on our personability and ability to establish close working relationships with our clients. We understand that every event has unique requirements with regard to catering, be these dietary, presentational, or stylistic, and know collaboration and flexibility are key to the design of the menu and creation of the cherished memories each event deserves.

When did you start Tayberry Foods LTD, how and why?

Tayberry Foods was established in 2012, founded by Head-chef Simon Chipperfield. Simon knew at very early age he wanted to be a chef, and pursued this passion with zeal, gaining a wealth of experience and qualifications in catering and events management. Simon now has over 23 years’ experience working in the outside catering industry, catering has truly been a life-long passion.
Simon has always been an avid food-history enthusiast, which has inspired the creation of some of the most spectacular dining experiences offered by Tayberry Foods, such as the ‘Host the Roast’ option, wherein nominated guests are provided with an apron and chef’s hat, and act as carver for the selected centre piece. This Tudor-feast style spectacle offers an unforgettable experience which will ensure the event is the talk of the town!

What Products or Services do you offer?

Catering services for all occasions and events. Our menu pack offers a range of catering options; ranging from traditional styles to more relaxed, informal dining; from small, intimate affairs to large, banquet style feasts- we truly believe we offer something for everyone.

Tell us about your Products or Services

Tayberry Foods are committed to excellence in every aspect, and believe this should extend to social, ethical and environmental issues. We are philanthropic, socially responsible, and have stringent standards for sourcing our ingredients to mitigate against negative environmental impact. For example, all of our fresh produce is sourced from local companies, and we can trace the production back to source. This means we can ensure quality standards are met at every stage, and that we are fully aware of the welfare of our animal products.
We are forward-thinking and innovative, and are always striving to embrace new approaches and techniques. We offer specially designed vegan and children’s menus, and firmly believe that dietary restrictions or smaller appetites should not be pre-requisites for restrictions in choice or quality. Every guest at every event deserves the highest standards in food and service.

What is your favourite?

Our ‘Host the Roast’ interactive centrepiece brings a real spectacle to any occasion. Served on sharing boards, one guest at each table is nominated to carve the roast; either in advance or on the day, with prior knowledge or as a surprise! The nominee is given a chef’s hat and apron to complete their look as they act as ‘chef de table’. This theatrical performance is a great talking point for guests and a fun way for everyone to get involved in the meal they will share.

What is your most popular?

Our range of sharing platters; from our ‘Italian platter’ to our ‘home-cured meats’, our sharing style platters provide something for everyone.

Testimonial For Tayberry Foods LTD

We had our wedding on Saturday catered by Tayberry and we were so delighted with every aspect.

The communication was fantastic, Holly was the most brilliant coordinator. Nothing was too much trouble, they were so accommodating for dietary requirements and the food was absolutely delicious. All of our guests loved all of it. We are so very grateful for such a great experience.

We will be recommending Tayberry to everyone we know. Thank you so much!
