Our Story
Streat Events was founded with a simple belief: Great Food makes Great Events.
What began as a specialist catering business has evolved into a trusted event food and drink partner, supporting organisations across the UK with everything from corporate celebrations and Christmas markets to large-scale public events and festivals.
Over the years, we've worked with hundreds of independent caterers, food trucks and mobile bars, building a carefully curated network of suppliers known for their quality, reliability, and exceptional customer experience.
Today we combine that supplier network with hands-on operational expertise to help clients create memorable food experiences that are delivered seamlessly from planning through to live event delivery.
Our team has delivered catering operations for some of the UK's most diverse events, ranging from intimate corporate gatherings to major public events welcoming thousands of attendees.
Highlights include:
• Managing catering operations for the European Tour Scottish Open
• Delivering large-scale corporate Christmas markets and staff events
• Supporting universities, councils, venues, and businesses across the UK
• Working with a network of over 100 trusted catering and bar operators
Whether we're sourcing a single food truck or managing a full food village, our focus remains the same: delivering exceptional experiences for organisers and guests alike.

Note from Our Founder
I founded strEAT events following my passion for exceptional food with years of hands-on experience delivering catering operations across corporate, festival and public sectors.
Having worked directly with event organisers, venues, caterers, and suppliers for many years we understand both the operational challenges behind successful events and the importance of creating memorable guest experiences.
This practical experience continues to shape the way we work today.
Creativity, reliability, and attention to detail to help clients deliver outstanding events.
