We’re all coming over for dinner, what are you cooking?

Spaghetti with chicken, courgette and feta meatballs & tomato sauce has been a crowd pleaser for many dinner guests over the last year so that instantly feels like a no brainer. 

For the veggies, it would have to be my dad’s spanakopita served with an enormous Greek salad and lots of crusty olive oil and oregano grilled bread. 

What’s your greatest achievement?

Developing a skill for acrylic painting over lockdown which unpredictably became a side-hustle. I was most flattered by the requests and fulfilment of commissions. It felt amazing that people liked my style that much to pay a large sum for a custom piece. 

What makes you happy?

Beach holidays, an unnecessarily large handbag collection, pub on a Thursday, old-school mob movies, good quality olive oil, perfume, jewellery, novels, painting, fresh mint tea, a good old gossip with my best friends at our favourite sushi restaurant, Farro pastries, the Off Menu Podcast, matching Juicy Couture sets, anything that’s pink or that sparkles (to name a few things.)

Account Director

What makes you happy?

A good strong coffee in the morning, getting outside for a walk, talking about anything to do with nutrition and food and enjoy great conversation with family and friends.

What’s your greatest achievement?

It would have to be qualifying as a Nutritional Therapist after studying a 3-year degree alongside my full time job, and during a pandemic. It was probably one of the hardest things I've ever done, but definitely the most rewarding!

We're all coming over for dinner, what are you cooking?

It's got to be some kind of pasta dish, but I'm not someone who wants to spend ages in the kitchen, I'd rather be with my guests. So my go-to is a giant pan of Cacio e pepe, but I'm also terrible at sticking to recipes so I'll probably add in a couple of extras to make it even more delicious. Maybe some olives, artichokes, tomatoes & of course, some greenery, a bit of rocket or spinach!

Charlie Bown

Account Manager

What makes you happy?

Apart from eating really good food, I love a cup of tea, crisp summer mornings, reading, the smell of rain on hot tarmac and spending time with friends who encourage adventure (and yes that adventure can be as simple as driving to the river for a walk!)

What's been your greatest achievement?

I’ve completed Go Ape twice and I’m absolutely terrified of heights.

We're all coming over for dinner, what are you cooking?

I’d like to say something really fancy with four courses and different wines to compliment each dish but in all honestly, I’d probably go for fajitas. It’s such a great dish to share with friends and I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who doesn’t enjoy them!

Pam Lloyd

Founder

What makes you happy?

Harmony. It makes me happy when everyone gets on. Colleagues, clients, family, friends. I’m not into conflict.

Share a life lesson with us. Who did you learn this from?

If you don’t think with your head you’ll have to think with your feet.  I learned this from my Great Aunt Margaret. In other words if you don’t think things through and make a plan, it’s likely that you’ll end up running around having to sort things out.

We're all coming over for dinner, what are you cooking? 

What night is it?  What’s the occasion?  I’ve developed a knack for cook ahead food for a crowd, I don’t want to be standing at the stove frying anything.  So maybe a curry, with rice and sides and flatbreads.  The Dishoom recipe for Chicken Ruby is a winner and Madhur Jaffrey’s Tomato Pullao Rice is a wonderful dish, I’ve made it more times than I can remember but I still have to look it up, I can’t remember quantities.

Jenny Bishop

Managing Director

We’re all coming over for dinner, what are you cooking?

I love having friends over for dinner, but don’t want to be stuck in the kitchen when we have guests, so it’ll probably be a paneer curry that I can cook in advance. I love Indian flavours so I’ll serve it with all the sides, naan breads and rice.

What makes you happy?

Big skies, vast beaches and good friends, preferably all at the same time, with some sunshine and sea swims too!

I also love to dance. In a class, at a festival, and most frequently in the kitchen!

What’s been your greatest achievement?

Studying for my CIM Post-Grad in Marketing whilst working full time is up there; it was hard but SO worth it.

I’ve also done a few 10k runs. I generally HATE running, but I did them to raise money in memory of friends and loved ones. I’m proud of that. I’m not sure I’ll graduate to a half marathon, but maybe I’ll do another 10k one day.
