The Good Eating Company was founded in 1999 by a small group of like minded people who felt staff feeding could be done a lot better than it had been in the past. So the company was born out of a passion to provide the best food, with an eclectic mix of great British favourites at the same time raiding the all cuisines from around the world doing them with verve and authenticity.

out of a mutual love affair with good food from around the world. Our company has grown steadily from its humble beginnings to its present position as market leader. Today we are responsible for feeding over 14,000 people a day, across 21 locations in London and the South East.

50g of porridge oats

2. Add the plain flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt to a large bowl. Stir through the wholemeal flour and treacle.
3. Pour in the Guinness and buttermilk. Mix well to form a wet dough.
4. Tip the dough onto a lightly-floured work surface. Roll and fold the mixture gently until it forms a fat sausage, roughly the size of the tin.

It was International Chefs Day, so what better monday Motivation than Michaela's story; "What do I love about being a chef? Well, it’s the creative freedom to experiment with endless flavours! Plus, I get to travel the world through its cuisines, learning about different cultures one dish at a time. And honestly, I'm lucky to be surrounded by an incredible team of chefs – the camaraderie in the kitchen makes every day an adventure."

Did you know it's international chefs day on Sunday? Our chef Giacomo shares what he loves about being a chef;

There's a unique satisfaction in the hustle of service and the collective effort of the team to deliver great food.

Plus, seeing diners enjoy your creations can be incredibly fulfilling.

The opportunity to explore different cuisines and cultures is also a highlight. Each dish tells a story, and learning about those traditions enriches the culinary experience.

As a chef I can infuse my personality and values into dishes. It’s also an opportunity to support local producers and sustainable practices, which can create a positive impact on the community. The journey of cooking is as much about connection and passion as it is about the food itself.
