About us
Where it all began
Why do we always see the same sandwich spreads at work events, when Cardiff is bursting with brilliant food talent? This was the question that led friends Hamish & Louis to found PIKKLE.
With a shared passion for food and an appetite to build something of their own, they set out to bring the city’s best independent chefs to the office table.
Since their first event on 1st March 2023, they have catered nearly 1,000 events. From small office lunches to brand activations, launch events and large conferences, PIKKLE is on a mission to redefine the standards of the industry.

Our Why
The Reasons we Do What We Do
Behind every independent food business is someone who took a chance on their passion, and helped build their community along the way. That’s who PIKKLE is here for. By bringing incredible food talent to workplaces and events, we help independent traders reach new audiences and give them a valuable additional source of revenue.
So far, we have put over £300,000 into the pockets of the independent businesses we work with. Every booking supports a local chef, baker or maker, and helps keep the local food scene thriving.
When you book with PIKKLE, you’re not just feeding your guests. You’re giving them a meal to remember, and helping local food businesses grow, one plate at a time.
