A potted history.
A short intro to GJ.
We're a refreshing mix of experience design company and boutique caterer.
Our founder, Jenny McNeill, worked for 10 years in marketing, PR and events before retraining as a chef 15 years ago. Following that training in 2009 Ginger Jar was born and has now grown into an innovative experience design company, with a specialism in food.
As a female-led company, we champion women at all levels within our organisation, from project managers to set designers, head chefs and front of house leads. We wouldn't be us without the committed, dynamic people who deliver our events with utmost professionalism.
How we operate.
We take an agency-style approach with good experience design starting with a good brief. We'll work with our clients to get to the bottom of how they want their audience to think, feel and experience the time they spend with them.
With a background covering experiential event design, immersive dining, set design, performance design, venue selection AND food design, we understand how to deliver at all levels.
About Jenny.
Ginger Jar Food was started by Jenny McNeill in the summer of 2009, after qualifying from Leiths School of Food & Wine. Jenny has spent time working as a private chef in Alpine Chalets, as a restaurant chef in places such as the Fat Duck and Tate Modern, and now has twelve years experience as head chef of Ginger Jar, overseeing 100’s of events from canapé parties to weddings, PR launches and office inaugurations.
Who we work with.
We have two sides to our business, working either through PR, marketing or event agencies who hold a wider relationship with a brand, or we can work direct with a brand, private individual or couple.
PR, marketing & events agencies
We're happy to be part of the pitch team or white labelled, depending on the best formula for success. We can tuck into a larger scale projects seamlessly or take it on as a fully outsourced project under your umbrella.
Brands, corporates, private individuals & couples
Contact us direct for the full Ginger Jar experience, where we can help build and plan your event in full or part, depending on what you need.
