About
Cooking personally. Catering professionally.
SELCEM is a mobile catering business led by Chef Ahmet, providing Turkish cuisine, traditional carvery and bespoke catering across Southampton and South Hampshire.
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 rather than a booking desk, and he prices the job himself.
That direct contact is the point of a business this size. If something needs changing a week before the date, you are talking to the person who will be cooking.
The approach
Food planned around the occasion
No fixed menu
There is no printed list to order from. You describe the food you want, and the catering is planned from there. It takes one conversation rather than a compromise.
Two specialisms
Turkish cuisine and traditional carvery are the two things SELCEM is asked for most often. Anything else is discussed honestly before it is agreed.
One point of contact
Ahmet handles the enquiry, the quote and the cooking. Nothing is passed between departments, because there are none.
