Dynamic chef & Managing Director Jacqueline Cottrell started deWintons, one of the top London Catering companies, from scratch over 15 years ago before joining forces with friend & business partner, James Symington. Not only does Jacqueline love the creativity of cooking & the challenge of devising tantalising menus but she also gets really excited by the presentation aspect of running a London catering company. As Jacqueline says: “One of the biggest wow factors in outside catering these days is the design side of food. We make fabulous food but also think really hard about how we present it & always make sure there’s superb party planning. I get a real kick out of dreaming up great ideas for events such as live cooking events & extravagant buffet set ups.” Before setting up deWintons, Jacqueline trained at Leith’s School of Food and Wine – one of the best catering colleges for chefs – and worked for world class chef Anton Mosimann OBE, at his iconic restaurant The Belfry in London’s Belgravia which included event catering in London.
