More about us

Guy was born in London but grew up in Bruton, going to school there too — and it was during those school years that he was affectionately nicknamed "Pickers," a name that's stuck with him ever since (and now, fittingly, gives the business its own). From a young age, he knew he wanted to be a chef. Since leaving school, he's honed his craft in high-end restaurants and pubs, travelling the world to do it — building a deep, versatile skill set that lets him turn his hand to anything from delicate canapés to a full seated wedding breakfast, always rooted in fresh, seasonal ingredients. It was during a stint working in the Alps that he met Suzy, in 2012.

Suzy was born in Manchester and grew up in Yorkshire, working in hospitality from a young age before working as a self-taught chef herself, including that same stint in the Alps — which is where she and Guy crossed paths. But it was the summer months spent in Cornwall managing and coordinating events for a catering company that shaped her into the planner she is today: someone who combines a chef's understanding of food with a genuine gift for organising every last detail.

Together since 2014, we've built Pickers Catering around that combination — Guy's depth of culinary craft, Suzy's chef's eye paired with flawless event command — so every wedding, private event, and corporate function benefits from exceptional food and effortless execution alike.

Now, after over a decade of building our reputation together, we're leaning further into what we each do best: Guy channelling his passion into fine food and creating new dishes, and Suzy putting her entrepreneurial and organisational skills to work growing the wedding business. It's a balance that keeps things fresh for us both — bringing more variety and versatility across everything we do, while never losing sight of why we started Pickers in the first place.
