Created with purpose & heart
We are a company that cares.
Palmer & Howells is still one of a few smaller independent caterers who can offer valuable time and focus to personally support our contracts with the detailed attention they deserve. We are not a ‘one size fits all’ company, and we create bespoke and personal catering solutions, solely dependent on the individual needs of each contract. It is clear that we really do care about everything we do, and that is what really makes Palmer and Howells your distinct catering partner.

Creating teams with purpose & heart.
Our people are key to our success; they work with pride and enthusiasm. We encourage teamwork; reward innovation; and celebrate difference, creativity and partnership. Our clients, customers and catering teams are central to what drives the way we work – their opinion matters to us.
Feeding customers at every stage
Working with both Independent Day, Boarding Schools & Business and Industry, we recognise the need to do much more than just ‘feed’ our customers. Providing a balanced and healthy diet whilst establishing good eating patterns and habits are core to our principles. We cater with ease for the many and varied dietary requirements that today’s customers require.
