Crafting Catering Excellence to Help Independent Businesses Thrive
EstherMay Catering Consultancy, provides personal, practical & tailored catering support and advice for local independent businesses in the central Buckinghamshire region.
Empowering & Elevating Hospitality Excellence
I specialise in providing practical, hands-on support to independent cafés, coffee shops, restaurants and gastro pubs across Aylesbury and Central Buckinghamshire. From improving day-to-day operations, compliance and allergy audits to reducing food waste, developing the offering and enhancing marketing, I help hospitality businesses work more efficiently, control costs and grow sustainably.
I offer tailored operational support and commercial solutions to help independent food businesses improve profitability, attract customers and achieve long-term success.
About me
With over 25 years of experience in hospitality, my career began in 1996 as a kitchen porter in a small seaside restaurant in South Devon and I went on to work in local hotels, pubs and restaurants.
I studied for a BA (Hons) in Hospitality and Food Management in Birmingham and during my studies, I gained experience in leading four- and five-star hotels, followed by a year-long secondment at one of Ireland’s top hotels.
After graduating and moving to Buckinghamshire, I worked at major conference venues before joining one of Hertfordshire’s top AA-rated hotels, progressing from Conference and Banqueting Manager to General Manager.
I moved into the contract catering sector, managing the catering operation at two large, nationally renowned independent schools before deciding to take the plunge and set up my own catering consultancy.
