Catering & Hospitality
We support businesses serving food directly to the public—including restaurants, pubs, event caterers, bakeries, farm shops, retail outlets, and food stalls.
How We Can Help
If you’re serving food, getting food safety right is essential—you want customers to remember you for the right reasons.
We work with a wide range of businesses, from high-volume event caterers to busy retail outlets and restaurants, helping them maintain high standards and achieve strong food hygiene ratings.
With regular audits and ongoing support, we make food safety simple, practical, and easy to manage.

One-off Compliance Audits
Elite Pubs have worked with Challenger for over two years. In that time, they’ve helped us achieve and maintain high food safety standards, resulting in excellent hygiene ratings, strong relationships with EHO inspectors, and fewer food-related complaints.
Carl is always available, works well with the team, and has made a real difference. It’s been a pleasure working with him and we look forward to continuing the relationship.
James Lelew - Executive Chef
Elite Pub Company
We’ve been partnering with Challenger since May 2024. Carl’s professionalism and ability to simplify complex food safety systems has made implementation straightforward.
Over the past year, we’ve also worked with Nicola, whose expertise and communication perfectly complement Carl’s. Together, they provide a seamless, efficient service.
We highly recommend Challenger to anyone seeking a personable, reliable, and cost-effective food safety partner.
Richard Main - Managing Director
Cowdray SHop & Cafe
Carl became our food and hygiene consultant in 2021 when we were struggling to pass our SALSA audit. Since then, our systems and paperwork have greatly improved, and SALSA themselves have acknowledged the excellent progress over the past three years. None of this would have been possible without Carl’s guidance and support.
