About Us

Having worked at five-star establishments (Gleneagles and Moor Park Golf Club to name but a few), Sietske and I dreamt up 'Nosh!' over a hot chocolate and a (large) packet of peanut M&Ms on one cold February evening while sitting in front of the log-burning stove.

​

Nosh! Ltd was formed in April 2000; our first venture Herbs! – our restaurant – came into being year in December that same year.

​

With Herbs! our aim was to evoke the warmth and rustic simplicity of the Mediterranean ~ the warmth of orange and terracotta colours: the simplicity of old oak beams and broad, old, wooden floor-boards. Our menus reflect the taste of the Mediterranean too - fresh ingredients, fresh herbs, fresh cooking and simple tastes. Why create over-sophisticated, over-complicated dishes as the truest tastes are those of the raw ingredients themselves. Judging by the popularity of our restaurant a lot of people feel the same way too.

​

Approximately two years later, the adjacent building became available; we needed more space for our expanding family but on the ground floor, in what had been a saddler’s shop, we decided to create something new for Faringdon. The Sadlers deli-café was born in November 2002.

​

The desire for a great cup of coffee in a local, relaxed and friendly environment encouraged us to create a concept of fine-food shopping and fantastic coffee all under one beamed ceiling. Since then, we have moved on a little more - now adding colourful, tasty light lunches for grown-ups and munchkins alike.

​

The restaurant, deli and café led to a lot of requests for private catering, first for christenings then corporate buffets and then wedding receptions. So as Herbs! and The Sadlers grew, we found a third branch evolving – OUTSIDE CATERING!

​

The Sadlers of Faringdon Caterers has developed into a full-time business in its own right, rewardingly becoming more successful with every year.

​

So…none of those ‘cardboard’ sandwiches, botched boiled eggs or uninspiring “Coronation Chicken” on our menus! Just great, colourful cuisine at competitive prices.
