Meet the friendly, passionate and experienced Corporate Gourmet team and find out how we came about...
about us
Our journey began back in 2011 when founder Josh Castle-Doughty started The Corporate Gourmet with a view to providing professional Michelin-style catering for small business customers looking to impress their clients and staff. This concept quickly grew into a viable business, and now The Corporate Gourmet team consists of four fine dining and event chefs specialising in delivering best-in-class catering to our clients.
The Corporate Gourmet now boasts hundreds of business clients, some of whom have been with us since the very beginning.
Meet some of our amazing Corporate Gourmet team assembled in recent years, who all boast unique and invaluable experience in catering, events and hospitality.
Meet the team
Josh Castle-Doughty
Founder & Director
Josh’s passion for cooking came from a young age; growing up learning to cook with Delia, and refining his skills in his teens with Jamie. Josh started The Corporate Gourmet as an alternative to the unremarkable and mainstream event catering on offer throughout London. Passionate about food, Josh loves overseeing (and taste testing) every morsel of food that leaves the kitchens.
Contact Josh and find out how The Corporate Gourmet can bring your business catering to life.
Chloe Castle-Doughty
Co-director
Chloe has a hands-on presence in the business as the “face on the street”. She’s in charge of front of house management, event planning and the creative touches that make your corporate event unique and the catering so very special. Able to source absolutely anything and with a meticulous attention to detail, Chloe is constantly redefining the way we think about things. Expect to find Chloe personally dealing with your event enquiries.
