Extraordinary cooks & stories

Impact

beyond the kitchen

At the heart of Hey! Food is Ready is a community dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion, while enabling local food economies to grow and thrive. We want to explore alternative options to mainstream cuisine types by offering more variety from a diverse range of food vendors in local areas.

Connecting with communities across the UK, we have supported immigrants, refugees, carers, stay-at-home parents, retirees or anyone who loves cooking to monetise their cooking skills. Join our mission to empower cooks, one plate at a time.

Our happy customers

Well presented and well organised! Love the cooks stories, food taste amazing!

Such a great idea to bring different cultures together, it was the best food I've ever had at an event.

I was genuinely surprised by how amazing the food tastes, it tasted just like food from home. The spice proportion, the flavours even texture! I went for third rounds at an event.

Food hygiene is always our top priority. We ensure that all the cooks on our platform:

  • Pass the industry standard food hygiene tests and hold a hygiene certificate of Level 2 or more.

  • Achieve a 4 or 5 food hygiene rating issued by their local authority or at least be ‘awaiting inspection’.

  • Be fully protected by product liability insurance.
