Jimmy Garcia Catering
Known for his imaginative foodie pop-ups, chef and Tooting resident Jimmy Garcia also offers impressive event catering too. His feasting style menus, designed to be shared by the table, are deliciously exciting – his ingenious ‘Dig for Dinner’ starter sees dozens of wooden seed trays filled with carrot and caraway mousse, covered in an edible soil, topped with pickled baby vegetables delivered to the table. Guests can then dig in – quite literally!
