James Benson
Area: Gloucester, United Kingdom
Benson’s Catering Limited is owned and operated by James Benson, former Claridge’s Chef; James has been cooking since the age of 3, when, as family legend goes, he stood on a chair by the stove and taught Nana how to make ‘rivotto’ before he could even pronounce it. He started his career as a chef at the Goblets Wine Bar, part of the Lygon Arms, Broadway, whilst also studying at Stratford-upon-Avon College in my spare time. Charingworth Manor came next before a move back to the Lygon Arms Hotel, where he started a larder apprenticeship. After leaving the Lygon Arms he worked at the world-renowned Claridge’s in Mayfair, London, serving Royalty, Politicians, Celebrities, and all the rest of the world. Here he specialised in canapés, buffets and starters, serving all variations of world cuisine to anywhere between 50 and 1000 people a day, all with the super-perfection that the guests expected. A place in the semi-finals of the Academy of Culinary Arts Annual Awards of Excellence, four promotions, two Employee of the Month awards and an Employee of the Year later and it was time for new things. He moved back to Broadway and struck out on his own, catering in private and holiday homes, as well as many local venues. James now operates a small and successful catering company, offering everything from private dinners to large buffets and weddings. The company caters for around 800-1200 guests a month during peak seasons, and every event is planned and prepared under James’ personal supervision, whether it is a delivery meal for a family of 6 or a wedding banquet for 120.

Oliver Charnock
Area: Swindon, United Kingdom
I am a self-motivated chef with over 15 years experience working within the food industry. I started washing the dishes in a local pub when I was 14 and ever since my first day, I fell in love with the way food was handled and the environment that I was working in. Since then I have travelled far and wide to gain experience in all sections of the kitchen. I am most comfortable in a leadership position and I am very proud to tell people that I work as a chef for a living. I enjoy the very basics of good food, from the raw ingredients to the final product, and pride myself in always looking for new and exciting ways to go the extra mile to challenge everyone’s palate. From fine dining to school meals I strive for perfection and I have a particular interest in vegetarian cuisine. Two years ago I decided to start my own company which allows me to move around the country cooking in a wide range of establishments, from private dinner parties to larger scale events. Each job I pursue gives my confidence as a chef, a boost if you like, and I love fine tuning kitchens to maximize the potential whilst creating a safe working environment. I would like to say I could build a house from the ground up, but I can’t, however I am proud to say I can turn eggs and flour in to something everyone can enjoy! I am really looking forward to cooking good food for you.
