Our Story
Zafferano was founded over 20 years ago as a
family business and has flourished into one of
London’s most respected catering companies.
With backgrounds in travel, tourism and
opera, the founders fused their skills together,
marrying a flair for live performance with a
love of global cultures and flavours.
Zafferano is still true to its origins; using the
seasonal harvest to craft beautiful food
and create a convivial atmosphere for
sharing and celebrating. Two decades on and
Zafferano remains in the private ownership
of the original founders; the team of planners
and brigade of chefs may be bigger, but their
outlook to deliver standout events and a
passion for making every performance unique
are constants.
The company has become the go to caterer
for a long list of private clients and corporate
organisations and is recommended by many
of the capital’s heritage venues and cultural
institutions as their event catering partner
of choice. Through its years of working with
historic and landmark buildings, Zafferano has
built upon its reputation for excellent events
and is trusted for its care and sensitivity when
working in this sector.
