About Us

A family business, built on good food and hard work

Homemade Buffet Company was founded in 2010 by mother and son, Lorna and Jonathan Nichols. Before starting the business, they’d both spent years working in housing and banking, and between them they’d been to more office buffets than they could count. Most were forgettable. Some were downright stingy.

So when the chance came to do something different, they took it.

Made fresh, made with care

Everything is prepared fresh from our home premises in Hinckley, right up to the day of your event. The only thing we don’t make ourselves is the bread, which we buy in from a trusted supplier. It’s a small detail, but it matters to us. It’s part of what makes a homemade buffet feel different from something that’s been mass produced and shipped out from a warehouse.

We hold a Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering, and our kitchen has been inspected by the local authority and rated 5 out of 5. So you can relax and enjoy your event, knowing the food’s in good hands.

Simple menus, personal service

Our menus are kept simple on purpose, but that doesn’t mean we skimp on flavour or portion size. Whether you’re planning a private party, a corporate lunch or a wedding, we’ll sit down with you and get the details right. And if something on the menu doesn’t quite suit what you had in mind, just ask. We’re always happy to change things around.

Since 2010, we’ve grown steadily, one happy customer at a time. We’d love the chance to cater for your next event too.

The presentation of the food was really good and came in trays ready to be served. The food tasted amazing and was really fresh with more than adequate amounts for our guests. All our guests commented on how good the food was. We would not hesitate recommending you and we will definitely be back to use you again for future celebrations. Di & Paul

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The food was delicious and a mixture of all sorts of foods. Communication was very good, replied very quickly to all of my emails and it was very easy to organise. The packaging was thoughtful and secure, with no spills or sogginess. Everything was clearly labelled, making it easy for guests to find what they wanted, especially as we had Gluten Free options. Couldn't recommend enough for all types of buffet requirements!! Thank you very much and we will definitely be ordering again :)

Made a very last minute request to Jonathan on a Sunday afternoon for collection on Monday and he delivered in style and with such great quality. Everyone enjoyed the lunch and I would definitely recommend Homemade Buffet Company for your catering needs.

Excellent service, had a small buffet made for my daughters birthday party and it went down a storm, selection of sandwiches, crudites, crisps, cakes and fruit kebabs. Really would recommend for your next event! Will definitely be using again in the future!
