London Food Tasting & Culture Event
Hey! Food is Ready is the UK’s first corporate catering marketplace for authentic world cuisines—prepared by independent chefs from the cultures they represent, ensuring every dish tells its own unique story.
Whether it’s a buffet lunch, a weekly meeting, a networking event, or a team celebration, we can accommodate different group sizes and venues.
Our food-tasting event offers a great opportunity to sample global flavours, such as Malaysian Satay Chicken, Brazilian Chicken Croquettes, and Syrian Baba Ganoush—all prepared by our talented independent chefs.
Alongside these diverse cuisines, you'll also have the opportunity to attend the Contemporary Calligraphy workshop hosted by Synonym Lab to celebrate Lunar New Year and see how we can combine culture and food.
