Bespoke catering

No set menu.
No one-size-fits-all catering.

Every booking is different. Tell Ahmet what you would like to eat, how many people you're feeding, your date and location. He'll discuss the details with you and provide a personalised quote.

From a Turkish family table to a traditional carvery, the food is planned around your occasion rather than picked off a list.

What Ahmet cooks

Three ways people book SELCEM

Most enquiries fall into one of these three, but the food is always planned around the occasion rather than a fixed list.

    Turkish Cuisine

    Traditional favourites, home-style dishes and generous tables prepared around what you and your guests enjoy. Tell Ahmet the kind of Turkish food you have in mind and he will plan it around your numbers.

    Traditional Carvery

    Roast meats, potatoes, vegetables, gravy and classic carvery favourites prepared for your occasion. Ahmet has carved and served at a working carvery counter, so the format is familiar territory.

    Bespoke Catering

    Have something different in mind? Tell Ahmet what you want and he will build the food around your event. There is no fixed list to choose from, so the conversation starts with your occasion.

How it works

Good catering shouldn't be complicated.

  1. 01

    Tell us what you're planning

    Date, occasion and location. A rough idea is enough to start the conversation.

  2. 02

    Tell Ahmet what you'd like to eat

    Turkish food, a traditional carvery, or something else entirely.

  3. 03

    Tell us the number of guests

    So the catering can be planned and portioned properly.

  4. 04

    Receive a personalised quote

    Ahmet discusses the details with you and prices the job around your request.

Once everything is agreed, Ahmet takes care of the food.

The person cooking

Meet Chef Ahmet

SELCEM is a personal catering service led by Chef Ahmet. It brings together Turkish cooking, traditional carvery and flexible catering built around each customer's occasion.

Every booking starts with a conversation — what you want to eat, how many people you're feeding, and what kind of occasion you're planning. You speak to Ahmet directly, not a booking desk.

Real experience

Real food. Real experience. Personal service.

These are Ahmet's own working photographs — a professional kitchen, a carvery counter and a service setup. They are not polished studio shots, and that is rather the point.
