Cooks & Partners began with Simon Goggin's determination to regain control over the ingredients that he was working with. After 19 years working as an Executive Chef for a big London caterer, Simon decided to go it alone and break free from the supply chain. This was largely due to the constraints that often meant gross profit came before taste.
Simon, still at the helm of the business, places his obsession with produce centrally at the heart of the company's ethos. The team today still comprises of all the key players that joined Simon's side back in 1997. The close knit team enjoys the benefits of being a small business fuelled by the adrenalin of some mammoth events grown out of client relationships that have been with us for just as long.
