IN HOME DINING REIMAGINED.
SMITHYS was set up to bring the best of a private chef to small and large scale catering. We bring a wealth of industry experience to canape receptions, at home dining and one-stop packages that make hosting easy.
SMITHYS was founded by our head chef Tristan Ward-Smith. Having worked in great restaurants as well as large-scale stadia across London and Bristol, his experience is rooted in both fine dining and large-scale catering. SMITHYS was founded to bring these two concepts together.
OUR CHEF Team.
All of the great chefs working alongside Tristan, to deliver our unforgettable events, are industry friends made during his time at prestigious restaurants such as Roe, part of the Fallow group, and The Courtside Restaurant, AELTC.
We strive to bring the best in business!

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS.
-
We were very fortunate to be able to secure the services of Tristan Ward-Smith and his catering company SMITHYS for a 70th birthday party for some 40 people at our London home in November 2025. Dealing with Tristan was very smooth and efficient from the outset. There was a large and varied selection of delicious canapes on offer.
On the day itself, the praise of our guests could not have been higher for the quality of the food and the smooth and charming service. Tristan’s team made sure everyone had enough to eat and drink. Their courteous and unobtrusive manner contributed to a very successful day.
We wish the company all the success it deserves and would certainly recommend SMITHYS to anyone wanting to make sure their party is a happy and memorable event.

SMITHYS catered for a client event for me. The quality of the canapés was superb. Clearly, there had been meticulous preparation. All guests commented on how good they tasted. Tristan was immaculately turned out, discreet but ever present. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
-
The team at SMITHYS were an absolute delight. Tristan built a bespoke package for us including a premium lunch buffet as well as providing staff to help serve drinks and keep our home tidy. The team cleaned up after themselves and were a huge delight. Well worth the money, I’d recommend hugely.
