About Foray

Oli’s career has taken him through some of the UK’s most respected kitchens, building a reputation for produce led, flavour driven cooking rooted in the seasons. His approach blends fine dining precision with warm, northern hospitality an ethos that now sits at the heart of Foray.
Over the years, Foray has grown into one of the North of England’s most trusted event caterers, delivering hundreds of weddings, private dinners and corporate events. Today, the business proudly holds an impressive rating on Google and has been recognised by various industry bodies, built on consistent quality, personal service and memorable food.
