The Chef

Meet Chef Jaz

Italian, born 1984. Cooks with fire, olive oil and things pulled from the ground the same week they are served.

He founded Olive & Vine in 2024 to bring that kind of cooking to tables across London.

Our approach

The food is what people remember

Not the flowers, not the seating chart, not the speeches. What they ate, and who they ate it with.

Our event menus are the cooking Chef Jaz does every day: Mediterranean, live-fire, seasonal. We build yours around your guests, the season, and what you'd like the day to feel like.

FAQ

Things people usually ask

What are your minimum and maximum guest numbers?

We've cooked for weddings of ten and weddings of a hundred. There's no fixed maximum — tell us your number and we'll tell you whether we can do it well.

How much notice do you need?

For weddings, three to six months is ideal. For smaller events, two to three weeks. Last-minute? Ask us anyway — we often say yes.

Do you cater for dietary requirements?

Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, kosher, allergies. Tell us two weeks ahead and Chef Jaz builds a menu around your guests, not a version of the menu with things missing.

Can we provide our own drinks?

Yes. Bring your own wines, spirits, whatever you like — our team pours. Or use our bar service. Or both.

Can you help us source a venue?

Yes. We have a small list of London venues we work with often — garden spaces, warehouses, private rooms. Tell us your numbers and vibe.

Do you provide flowers or styling?

We work with a couple of florists and stylists we trust. Centrepieces, tablescapes, the works.

Do you provide staff and hire equipment?

Yes to both. Chefs, bartenders, front-of-house — as many as your event needs. Glassware, crockery and cutlery hire from suppliers we use often.

Do you cater outside London?

Our home is West London (W6) and we cover Greater London most weekends. For further afield, ask us — we usually find a way.

Why us

Real cooking, not assembly

Team-building isn't just off-sites and after-work drinks. A shared lunch, cooked properly, does more for morale than another all-hands. And it's hard to do that with plastic-wrapped sandwiches from the shop downstairs.

Every box on our menu is cooked from scratch that morning in Chef Jaz's kitchen. The menu rotates weekly so nobody eats the same lunch twice. Vegan, gluten-free, halal, allergies — all built into the week's menu, not tacked on as afterthoughts.

FAQ

What offices usually ask

Can we start with a trial period?

The contract minimum is three months. We start with a free tasting so you know exactly what you're signing up for. After three months, we roll month by month.

What if we need fewer boxes some days?

Ten boxes is the daily minimum. Above that, you can flex up or down day to day — just let us know by 3pm the day before.

Do you deliver outside Central London?

Right now we only deliver within Central London (zones 1 – 2). If you're in zones 3 or 4 and interested, get in touch — we're looking at expansion.

What's the delivery cut-off time?

We deliver between 11am and 1pm. You pick a 30-minute window.

How does invoicing work?

Monthly invoicing, 14-day payment terms. Bank transfer or Direct Debit through GoCardless.

What about dietary requirements?

Vegan, gluten-free, halal, allergies — all built into the weekly menu. Tell us your team's needs when we set up the contract.

Is the packaging recyclable?

Fully recyclable kraft boxes, bamboo cutlery, no single-use plastic. We can pick up used boxes if that helps your office's waste plan.

Book a tasting

Free for your team. We bring three or four boxes to your office. You decide from there.

Private dining

A chef's dinner, at your table.

A birthday, an anniversary, or just an intimate get-together — a menu built for the moment, delivered ready to serve.

Chef Jaz builds and cooks your menu in our kitchen the same day. We arrive at your home ready to plate, serve and clear. Front of house included if you'd like it. You spend the night at the table, not at the sink.

The evening

The restaurant, brought to you

We arrive an hour before your guests with everything ready. Our team plates at your dining table, serves each course, and clears between them. Front of house handles the pouring and the clearing so you don't have to.

You pick the menu together beforehand with Chef Jaz. He'll suggest based on what's in season and what you've told him about your guests. Wine is on you, or we can help with that too.

Menu styles

Two ways to set the table

Plated three-course

A starter, a main, a dessert — plated at your dining table and served to your guests, course by course. The most formal option, best for anniversaries and quiet celebrations.

From £95 per person

Sharing menu

Platters set down the middle of the table, ready to serve. Big salads, warm bread, slow-cooked meats, sharing sides. More convivial, more like an Italian family lunch that stretches into the evening.

From £80 per person

Minimum 8 guests. Delivered across London.

How it works

From enquiry to dessert

01

Send the details

Date, number of guests, occasion, dietary needs, budget. A short call or email is enough to start.

02

Build the menu

Chef Jaz proposes a menu. You edit until it's exactly the meal you want to serve.

03

The evening itself

We arrive with the food, we plate, we serve, we clear. You spend the night with your guests, not in the kitchen.

FAQ

Common questions

What's the minimum number of guests?

Eight. Below that it doesn't quite work — the setup and staffing is the same for six as for twelve, so per-person cost gets steep. For a smaller table, look at our sharing platters.

Do you need our kitchen?

No. Everything is cooked in our kitchen and delivered ready to serve. We just need a bit of counter space to plate and access to your sink for glassware.

Is the food served hot?

Yes. We use insulated transport so everything arrives at temperature. For dishes that need finishing, we bring warming equipment.

Who provides wine and drinks?

You do, unless you'd like our help. We can bring a wine selection, or Chef Jaz can advise on what to pair with the menu.

Do we need front of house staff?

For a table of eight to twelve, one server is included. For bigger tables, we bring more.

What about washing up?

We take everything back with us — plates, serving dishes, cutlery, glasses if we brought them. Your kitchen looks the same as before we arrived.

Our cakes

Real cake, made properly

A good cake doesn't need decoration to look good. Ours are naked or lightly frosted, dressed with fresh fruit and edible flowers. The kind that tastes as good as it looks.

Order two weeks ahead so we have time to source what's in season. For weddings, six to eight weeks is better.

On the menu

Our signatures

Passion fruit cake

Our signature. Light sponge, warm passion-fruit glaze, fresh seeds spooned over at the last minute. Best served the same day, still slightly warm.

From £55 (serves 8–10)

Olive oil and citrus cake

Dense, moist, made with our own olive oil and slow-syrup lemons. Keeps for three days. The one to bring to someone's house.

From £45 (serves 8–10)

Tiramisu by the tray

The proper Italian version. Espresso-soaked savoiardi, mascarpone, cocoa dust. Sliced into portions or scooped by the spoon.

From £65 (serves 12–15)

Wedding cakes, made to order

Two or three tiers, naked or lightly frosted, decorated with fresh flowers and fruit. Every cake designed with you around the day.

How to order

From choice to delivery

01

Choose or ask

Pick from our signatures or tell us what you're after and we'll design something. Two weeks ahead for standard, six to eight weeks for weddings.

02

Confirm the details

Size, flavour, dietary needs, delivery date and address. We invoice for 50% to confirm the order.

03

Cake day

Baked the morning of, delivered by hand across London. Larger and multi-tier cakes are assembled at the venue.

FAQ

Cake questions

Do you do gluten-free, vegan or dairy-free cakes?

Yes to all. Ask us for the seasonal gluten-free or vegan option — usually citrus- or fruit-forward, always properly good.

How far ahead should we order for a wedding?

Six to eight weeks is ideal. This gives us time to source ingredients, design the cake around your day and coordinate delivery with your other suppliers.

Do you deliver outside London?

Within Greater London by hand. Beyond that, ask us — for weddings we often deliver further out.

Can we design a custom flavour?

Yes. Tell us what you love and Chef Jaz will build a cake around it. Two weeks minimum notice.

Do you do cake-cutting service at events?

Included when we're catering the event. Otherwise, ask — usually possible.

The Chef

Chef Jaz Fardin

Italian, born 1984. Founder and Chef of Olive & Vine.

Jaz cooks with fire, olive oil and things pulled from the ground the same week they are served.

He founded Olive & Vine in 2024 to cook that food for people across London: Mediterranean menus, live-fire techniques, portions built for sharing.

Cook simply. Cook with good ingredients. Let the fire do the work. — Chef Jaz

A cook, in London

1984

Born into an Italian family

Grew up in a house where cooking happened three times a day, and every meal was a reason to sit down.

London

Two decades of London kitchens

Twenty years cooking across the London restaurant scene, moving between pubs, kitchens and private events. Corporate lunch work for the last ten of those years.

2024

Olive & Vine is founded

Jaz incorporates OLIVEANDVINECATERING LTD to bring Mediterranean cooking to tables across London: weddings, private dinners, corporate lunches.

Next

The pantry

Ragù, Caesar dressing, cured meats, sauces. Same recipes we cook with, jarred for your kitchen.

What Jaz cares about

Live fire

Charcoal, wood, embers. Where he can, everything gets cooked over open flame. The taste is different, and worth the setup.

Seasonal ingredients

What's good this week. Tomatoes in August, root veg in November. He builds menus around what's ready, not what's available.

The table, generous

Enough for seconds, always. Nobody leaves a Jaz table hungry.

Tomatoes, olive oil, a wooden spoon

Cherry tomatoes blistered over open flame, still hot in the bowl. Fresh basil torn by hand. A splash of the best olive oil. Salt.

This is the food. Nothing more, nothing less.

Hire the Chef

Weddings, private dinners, corporate contracts. Send us your date and we'll build the menu together.
