Jasper’s Catering

About Jasper’s Catering

Jasper’s Catering Ltd began in 2004 when two business partners - Nathan and Paul - saw a gap in the corporate catering market. They went to work building a brand and business model that thrived on high-quality food and professional delivery. With the demand for Jasper’s corporate catering services growing, Nathan and Paul set to work creating training and manuals to help others repeat their success.

Now, Jasper’s Catering franchises exist around the UK serving up everything from specialist buffets to individual lunch boxes.

Jasper’s Catering’s pride and joy is its large range of menu options. Offering more variety than any other caterer in the UK, corporate clients can tuck into freshly cut sandwich triangles, colourful tapas bites, and delectable hot food dishes. Fillings are changed often, keeping menus relevant and exciting. To support local farmers and save resources, food is sourced locally where possible and used platters are collected and recycled.

Just like a secret recipe handed down from generation to generation, Jasper’s Catering has perfected its training and service. Each kitchen is designed according to company regulation. Suppliers go through a rigorous process to ensure only the best food makes it onto the platter. And expert caters work hard to deliver fresh, high quality buffets.
