Hi, my name is Kiarash and my mission objective is to provide the highest vibrational food with an awareness of nutrition, ecology and what taste great.
My story began in a small family ran cafe in Bristol (cafe Ronak) where i spent all of my twenties creating magic with a beautiful community of loyal regulars and an even more amazing team of the most wonderful humans i have met.
After I studied permaculture I left the cafe to live on the land and started event catering, I immediately fell in love and have continued on this journey.what i truly love about catering for crews at a festival or attendees at a retreat or course, is the feeling that I'm cooking for a community and knowing that this work is an integral part of any gathering.This is what drives me to create feel good food that nourishes from with in.

Waking Leaf Catering have been exceptional on all of the retreats we have worked together on. So much so that several of my friends are now working with Waking Leaf Catering at their own events!
It is hard to put into words how special the food is. Every meal was like eating at a favourite restaurant! Fresh, rich, nourishing, filling, delicious! The food was lovingly made from seasonal, local and organic ingredients and presented in a way that forced you to get your camera out! Meals were always on time and Kiarash was happy to flex around the inevitable schedule changes that can occur.
One of the most wonderful aspects was the atmosphere in the kitchen. Kiarash was always smiling, happy to share knowledge and connect to the group, playing relaxing music when appropriate. It made meal times really feel like family time!
Communication was also brilliant, with Waking Leaf Catering having several calls with me to work out budgets, menu, timings and recipees, then after the retreat generously sharing information via email with guests.
I think it goes without saying that I highly recommend Waking Leaf Catering!

waking leaf catering and Kiarash are full of surprises, a fantastic cook, everything is delicious and very creative.
Food for Kiarash is art and everyone of his dishes is a piece of art that is not only delicious and nourishing but also very beautiful.
He is thorough, clean and just gets on with it. whenever we have had them help, we know that everything is in good hands and we can just get on with everything else.
Always a pleasure to work with.

WASING ESTATE
waking leaf catering has always shown up in full, with absolute commitment and presence.
Kiarash’s dedication to providing high vibrational food and meeting the needs of our gatherings has always been incomparable.
At times Kiarash went above and beyond what was necessary in order to deliver a very high standard of food. He was always a pleasure to work with and we will definitely be working with him again. I highly recommend his food and his professionalism. It is of the highest standard.
As for the food, there’s no face without a smile when trying these flavours and no belly left wanting more with his generous portions. My favourite dish is the Buddha bowl.
clear to say we will be working with waking leaf catering again and again
