Our 11th Birthday Showcase at Banqueting House, Whitehall
Oh what a night. Our showcase felt like the beginning of a new era and a marker that events are well and truly back. Celebrating our 11th birthday and 400 years of Banqueting House, it was a night for the books!!
For those of you that aren’t familiar with Jimmy’s story - 11 years ago, he turned his living room in SW London into a restaurant, borrowing tables and chairs from the local church and after it kept selling out, Jimmy Garcia Catering was born and he’s never looked back. We’re now known as being the UK’s top creative caterer - delivering unparalleled food experiences at outstanding private parties, events and weddings all over the world.
Today, we continue on our mission to become the first catering company in the UK to eliminate the use of single-use plastics and offer it to our clients regularly 🌱 Our sustainable credentials are strong having pioneered the world's first truly sustainable kitchen at Davos, World Economic Forum back in 2020 and have continued to cater there since. More recently, catering at the most important sustainable summit in the world, @cop26uk with our creative food concepts.
Our menu for this night showcased what we do best; celebrating small, artisan suppliers who share our values for a better world and amazing food with our 10 mile food menus. For this evening, our canapés featuring our favourite local suppliers in London included:

We champion our favourite local suppliers across all our menus, no matter where we are in the world and get incredibly creative in the kitchen with the local produce available to us.
A huge thank you @hrp_events and all our suppliers who helped support this showcase for us. We also couldn’t do all this without who we believe to be, the very best team in town.
Thank you to all who have supported us so far and for anyone new, hello! We hope we get to show you what we can do with creative catering very soon. Life’s events really do taste better with our food ✨
