Testimonials
“The dinner was so well organised and everyone really enjoyed it. We will recommend this to our colleagues and we will no doubt be in touch again in the future. Please do pass on our thanks to Chin and his team. They were great!“
Centre Administrator, The Sargent Centre for Process Systems Engineering
“from planning to delivery was seamless and extremely professional. The lunch offer during the Festival is a very important aspect for those involved, as everyone is providing their time for free and working long days. To have a hot, tasty and filling meal during their shift is a great boost of morale and it also shows how much we value those who give their time. I would highly recommend working with this team – I will be doing it again.“
Public Engagement Assistant Producer, Imperial College London
“Partnering with a recognised franchise was a first for Imperial College, and KOKORO stood out as the clear student favourite. We engaged Taste Catering — a trusted, newly formed team — to bring the concept to life.
Since launching in September 2023, Taste has proven to be a reliable partner, delivering high standards in food quality, hygiene, and safety, including 5-star EHO ratings. Their commitment, efficiency, and flexibility have made the outlet a hit with both students and staff. We would gladly recommend them to other institutions.“
