WE ARE GREAT AT WHAT WE DO!

After working for the Cambridge Dining Co. team 9 years ago as a waitress, I got a real bug for the industry. Seeing the blank canvas of a venue transformed is my favourite thing about planning a wedding – building a marquee, dressing the room, bringing in a band, a bar, a photographer and seeing guests’ excitement when they walk into the space. The moment at the end of the night when a Bride and Groom look so happy and thankful for all of the hard work you have put in to create their special day makes it all worthwhile.

My favourite thing about my job is the impact a memorable Cambridge Dining Co. wedding makes on our couples and guests. I have such a fun, happy job (it doesn’t feel like work to me!), and it has been such a journey in which we have learnt so much! I cannot do it without the amazing team around me and I love coming away from a wedding reflecting on how everyone makes it happen with such dedication and passion. The best part of a wedding is arranging the bride’s dress before the newlyweds are announced into the room. There is a moment where it is just you and them that feels so special having planned their day with them for so long.

I am really lucky to work with a team of amazing, passionate and hardworking people. Their passion drives me, grows the business and ensures that our company values and standards are always met. We are lucky to have such a variety of events to work on from intimate dinners to large scale corporate events, no two days are the same! With a background in design and events I founded Cambridge Dining Co. in 2011 with my business partners. We started out with just two of us and my estate car! We would set up, serve and wash up all of the events! 15 years later and a lot of hard work, we are now regarded as one of the best catering and event management companies in the region.

My Cambridge Dining Co. journey started over 12 years ago as a waitress. I have always loved the hospitality industry. Weddings and events are where you can hone your skills and really make an impact with excellent customer service and teamwork. I have had a few roles in the business. My current role as Finance Manager has allowed me to take a step back from running events but still have a hand in every aspect of the company. I am very proud to be part of a successful events and catering company, and I look forward to the next ten years!

I started working for Cambridge Dining Co. in June 2013 as a front of house waiter as a way of gaining my own identity whilst still being able to be a full-time mum. I soon became an event manager and worked my way up through the company, I am now Head of people Development & HR. I love the variety of my role and firmly believe that everyone should work in the world of hospitality at least once to gain invaluable life skills. I have recently started up the Cambridge Dining Co. Training School to help all young front of house staff to gain confidence and improve their skills. My favourite thing about events is the Christmas corporate parties, and watching everyone just having the most wonderful time with exceptional food & drink!!

I love working with such a fun and passionate team where we create the most memorable weddings and events together. I have brought with me years of experience in wedding venue management, sales and marketing and love the creativity of my job. Managing our online presence, it’s wonderful to capture content from the magical occasions we cater for and really showcase what we do. I am proud to be a part of this award-winning company since it combines my three big passions in life: food, people and weddings!

Working with the team at Cambridge Dining Co. is such a pleasure and makes my life as a chef enjoyable. I like creating bespoke menus for our wedding couples and events. Before then, I worked in and around Cambridge in pubs, restaurants, hotels and Michelin starred restaurants and also worked in Melbourne, Australia with a Michelin starred chef. My favourite style of food has to be modern European tapas, particularly scallops with crispy bacon and garlic butter!

I was head chef at a lovely restaurant in a quaint village west of Cambridge for 3 years before I joined Cambridge Dining Co. and now I love challenging myself with the variety of weddings and events we do. I enjoy the small weddings, where you feel like you are one of the guests and can really fill the evening with flare and excitement. Another favourite part of my job is the tastings that we do in the tasting suite – it’s great to be able to have that connection with couples before their big day.

I joined Cambridge Dining Co. in 2021 after working at The Three Horseshoes, one of our sister Cambscuisine restaurants. I’ve always had a passion for cooking, with patisserie being my favourite area of the kitchen. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to cook for countless weddings and events, gaining experience across a wide variety of menus and styles. Today, I enjoy leading the kitchen at our newest café venture, Cavendish Café, whilst also supporting our busy corporate catering schedule. I love the variety my role brings and take pride in creating great food, whether it’s for a café customer, business lunch or a special celebration.

As an Event Manager at Cambridge Dining Co, I love the creative input I can bring to large-scale events and working closely with clients to deliver high-end, memorable experiences. No two events are ever the same, which keeps the role exciting and inspiring. With a professional background in the corporate world, I’m passionate about delivering events that are not only seamless and well-executed, but also polished, high-quality and tailored to each client’s vision. I take pride in turning initial ideas into reality and ensuring every detail is delivered to the highest standard.

I have worked within the Wedding & Hospitality Industry for over 12 years in many different capacities. I started with Cambridge Dining Co. as a freelance event manager in 2022 whilst looking for the next step in my career. I loved their passion for events and the fast paced worked environment and I was lucky enough to join as a full time event manager in 2023. I love everything about events, from the start of planning to being on the ground. I am so lucky to work with such a dedicated, passionate, hard-working team that help deliver such amazing events.

As Food Safety Manager at Cambridge Dining Co, I’m responsible for helping to maintain the highest standards of food safety and compliance across the business. I enjoy working with teams across our venues, supporting colleagues and ensuring food safety remains at the heart of everything we do. I’m currently studying towards a Certificate of Higher Education in Food Safety and Food Legislation, supported by Cambridge Dining Co. I’m passionate about continuing to develop my knowledge and using it to help drive best practice throughout the company. What I love most about my role is the variety it offers and the opportunity to make a positive impact every day, helping our teams deliver exceptional experiences with confidence.

I’ve been part of the Cambridge Dining Co. team since 2016 and it’s a company I’m proud to work for. I spend half the year back home in Morocco, so I love returning to the UK to work with such a fantastic team. I’m passionate about great food and believe that working together is the key to delivering exceptional events. Whether it’s catering for thousands of people at a large outdoor event or serving elegant canapés at an intimate gathering, I really enjoy the variety that every day brings. What I value most is being part of a company where I feel appreciated, continue to learn new skills and work alongside people who share the same passion for hospitality.

I have proudly worked with Cambridge Dining Co. since 2016, across event management and wedding sales. I genuinely love what I do because no two days are ever the same. It’s a pleasure getting to know each couple from their very first enquiry and helping bring their dream wedding to life. As a passionate foodie, there’s nothing more rewarding than being part of such an important milestone, making sure every detail of the catering is just right for their special day.

As a freelance Illustrator and Graphic designer, my creative background spans from food and flowers through to fashion and bridal. With a huge interest in nutrition and wellbeing, I am grateful to be a part of such an energetic and enthusiastic team of foodies at Cambridge Dining Co. who allow me to combine my skills and interests together to create artwork and graphics for a whole range of print and digital uses.

I joined Cambridge Dining Co. in 2024, bringing with me years of experience in hospitality and a real passion for delivering exceptional service. I love building strong relationships with our clients and have played a key role in managing our workplace catering accounts, supporting the office team and working closely with our chefs to ensure everything runs smoothly. One of the most rewarding parts of my role is helping to grow the business and welcoming new clients into the Cambridge Dining Co. family.

My passion is rooted in sourcing the best ingredients, producing incredible food and the hospitality industry in general. As the company’s Food Development Chef, I work hard behind the scenes to drive food innovation, food quality and consistency throughout all our events to further develop the Cambridge Dining Co. brand.

I love this company! The energy, diversity and agility of our operations is truly inspiring and we strive every day to better ourselves and our product, placing our customer at the centre of all we deliver. Before joining CDC, I worked for major sporting events and other leading hospitality and catering companies in the UK, delivering venue portfolios, catering and customer experience journeys.

I joined Cambridge Dining Co. in 2021 as a waitress and quickly discovered how much I enjoy the variety of working across our different venues and events. Every day is different, but weddings are definitely my favourite. I love being part of such a special occasion and helping create memorable experiences for our couples and their guests. In my current role, I coordinate staff rotas, ensure shifts are covered, and support our teams across the business. I also manage training records to keep everyone up to date and compliant with company requirements, helping our teams deliver the best possible service at every event.

I’ve been part of Cambridge Dining Co. since 2023, starting as the General Manager of one of our cafés before taking on the role of Cambridge Cafés General Manager. During my time with the company, I’ve learned so much and have had the opportunity to work alongside fantastic teams across a variety of cafés. What makes Cambridge Dining Co. special to me is its shared commitment to outstanding hospitality, great food and putting people first. I’m proud to be part of a company that shares my passion for delivering exceptional hospitality and memorable experiences every day.
