About Food Glorious Food

I was born in Cape Town, went to Ballymaloe Cookery School in County Cork, Ireland and have been cooking for over thirty years.

I ran Finns on Chelsea Green from 1990-2000, one of the few delicatessens and catering companies in London at the time which was modelled on Dean & Deluca in New York. Clients travelled from far and wide for our food which they often fobbed off as their own, lapping up the compliments from their guests with gusto.

I spent a year on super yachts in The Caribbean and The Med cooking for demanding HNW clients.

Since 2000 I have run my own catering business, Food Glorious Food. Making people happy with food brings me great joy and I love what I do.

Here's what clients have said about us:

'You and your staff were charming and efficient in equal measure. The food exceeded all expectations and each mouthful was a delight. It's so reassuring to know that whenever I have a party that your food will always be amazing. Your staff are so good and are almost invisible, just quietly getting on with helping us all have a good time.'

'We've had so many compliments about the food and the professionalism of your staff who are discreet, efficient and attentive. Everything went down a treat. I'm not sure why I would ever bother cooking again! Everyone who came was full of praise for your culinary genius. Thank you for making my party such a stress free event.'

'Your food was praised all round for being perfect, delicious and plentiful. It just kept coming. The staff were uniformly excellent. Absolutely superb - utterly efficient, friendly and totally on top of everything and as good as any team I've ever experienced in diplomatic life.'

Typical Clients

For over thirty years I've cooked for royalty and rockstars, but more often than not, I provide delicious lunches & dinners for lovely families, all of whom become regular clients.
My greatest passion is making canapés for parties which are served by my wonderful team of butlers and waitresses, most of whom have worked for me for twenty years. I love creating beautiful platters of food which are always admired by guests at our events.
My freezer food is useful for people with busy lives and is an excellent gift for anyone needing a little TLC while recovering from illness or a lovely treat for a new mum after the birth of a baby.

Nothing short of 5 stars

Beth and her team made our special day so easy and enjoyable. I really appreciated Beth's calm professionalism and helpful advice throughout the process of planning and on the day itself. The food was delicious and plentiful and her catering and waiting team were excellent – our guests regularly commented on both. After Beth and her team had left we would not have known they had been there. We could not have asked for more - thank you!

We had such a lovely time looking after your friends in your most gorgeous garden and exquisite conservatory - what a setting for an engagement party, it was other-worldly, like being in a movie, utter perfection! I'm so glad you enjoyed our food.

A fantastic evening thanks to Beth and the team

What a great night! And it was made by the efforts of Beth and her team. The food was amazing. Beth made the most delicious canapes (particularly liked the crab cakes, and the feta with filo and honey), followed by a sit down meal. Delicious chicken and salmon, and the warm salads were to die for. And where do I start on the dessert canapes? You simply must try the meringues with lemon mascarpone and raspberries (excuse me as I rhapsodise). Beth makes really interesting food, with great flavours, and she has lots of ideas to help you choose what will work best for your event. Her support team (Florence and Ali) were also absolutely lovely and juggled serving, clearing up and generally being helpful all evening. I'd highly recommend!

It was incredible and very well organised.

We have 11 different canapes for 40 guests as a meal and everyone was delicious. The range of choice Beth offers together with the quality is amazing. Beth helped with suggestions and additional staff to make the party run incredibly smoothly.

I have never hosted a party where so many people have commented on what good quality the food was. All the guests were very full by the end of the party and amount was perfectly calculated with a few dessert canapes left over.

I really could not recommend Beth and Food Glorious Food more and will be using them again.

Delicious food, excellent staff, a fab evening!

Beth and her team did an amazing job catering for 23 people for my 30th birthday! The food was amazing, and this was echoed by all of my guests. We had canape starters, a fabulous selection of side/salads served alongside chicken and salmon, followed by dessert canapes/sharing platters. They arrived promptly, left the kitchen tidy, and kept drinks topped up all night. A huge thank you for for a wonderful evening - I didn't lift a finger once!

I cannot speak highly enough of this team.

I used this company Foodgloriousfoodlondon ie Beth Pollack and her team to cater for a lunchtime celebratory party for 40 serving canapés recently.
They produced the most delicious canapés, presented beautifully. They were unobtrusive but the food and drink just kept coming.
The guests both at and after the party raved about the food. So glad I chose them.

Absolutely brilliant

I genuinely could not have asked for more from Beth and her team. From our initial communication, where I felt she got exactly what it was we were looking for and our budget, through to her understanding and flexibility when we had to reschedule because of Covid, the quality and presentation of the canapés, the friendliness and efficiency of Ali and Florence who worked with her on the night, to the fact they left the kitchen cleaner and tidier than when they got there, I couldn’t fault any of it.
All of our guests agreed that the whole thing was fantastic. I’d have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them, and am thrilled we’ve found someone so local and talented. We will definitely be using Beth and co again.
