About The Gastropod

We ( Pip & Eamonn) love to create delicious bespoke menus for your event, and cook freshly from our mobile kitchen

We are self sufficient bringing our own gas supply, quiet generator where there is no electric power available and water. So as long as the ground is flat and firm with no verges we can pretty much stand anywhere and we have certainly been tested.

Our Story

Having both been accomplished Chefs, Eamonn being Head Chef in many High end Event businesses, and winning the prestigious Master Chef Young Chef of the year, and Pip who trained at Cordon Bleu London and owned a very successful Tea Shop . When we met we saw a gap in the market for quality fresh food cooked onsite at events at realistic prices. We always keep in mind you are not paying just for the food, but for a personal memorable and fun experience. We started out at Antiques fairs, serving our formidable breakfast rolls, which is where we were picked up by Bargain Hunt To cater for their teams and crew. We travelled with them round the country to many events and auction houses and met some wonderful people. From there our reputation spread amongst other production companies and amongst others we have worked with .... Top Gear, DIY SOS, Gardeners World, Chelsea flower show, Interior Design Masters, Dickinsons Real Deal, Freddie Flintoffs Field of dreams. Among our busy lifestyle we enjoy catering at intimate weddings and sporting events, whether it be Triathlons, Cycling events, or dog shows. Corporate breakfasts and lunches are also our speciality, perfect for businesses who don't have kitchens.
