Temple Foods was founded in July 2001 and is run by John Allen (pictured), a City and Guilds trained chef with over 30 years experience in the catering trade.

Over the years his work had taken him to many hotels, restaurants and all other styles of catering extablishments.

It came to his notice that a lot of restaurants using frozen foods to back up their menus were searching for interesting vegetarian alternatives- but the cupboard was bare!

There was a lack of imagination from the big boys. Hence John came upon the idea of setting up a small and independent company for the production of something different, something with flavour!

He felt that there was a gap in the market and Temple Foods are now trying to fill it!

All dishes are home made. We create exotic dishes from around the world for adventurous food lovers, but we also mix these dishes with traditional foods for those who like to play it safe. We offer a wide range of interesting menus for you to choose from, or create your own cold buffet of your choice.

We deliver the food, set up and decorate your buffet table, and go... leaving you to do nothing but enjoy your party, collecting the dishes and platters the following day.

We offer a fully personalised consultation service at your home or business, free of charge, to discuss your requirements.
