Case Study
An example of our customer loyalty for our office buffet deliveries in Sheffield is demonstrated by the commitment shown to PJ taste by The University of Sheffield. Holding the contact for the supply of breakfast, lunches and conference dinners since 2017 we have used our electric vans for direct direct to numerous locations over the University campus. University departments ordering catering are reassured that PJ taste is leading the way in implementing sustainability practices.
Having operated electric vans for over ten years these are re-charged via energy generated by the 37 solar panels at our Attercliffe production kitchen. Our two acre plot has been dedicated to a permaculture style of growing with no use of chemicals of any kind. Our harvests include orchard fruits such as apples and pears, salads, herbs, and lots of soft fruit including blackcurrant, redcurrant and raspberries. This reduces our food miles and when combined with how we champion local producers for sourcing many of our other supplies makes us truly a Yorkshire Caterer. So for nearly twenty years we have used Our Cow Molly for diary, Moss Valley Fine Meats for pork, Moss Valley Organic Growers and Regather for organic vegetables, as well as Sheffield Honey, Just Preserves, Simpkins Sweets.
It is also very important both for the University and all our other corporate and family clients that we have the highest score for food hygiene. We have achieved 5 stars for the last ten years.
Employee Ownership Trust
PJ taste transitioned to an Employee Ownership Trust in 2023. This means each member of staff is even more motivated than ever to ensure that each and every food delivery meets our highest standards.

Innovation and New Products
During the year we introduced a new online catering order system. This has made placing food orders very simple and has saved time for our customers as well as giving them easy access to add specific dietary requirements and make late changes to the numbers they wish the catering to be prepared for. For a local corporate caterer this is an innovative initiative.
New products have included producing our own apple juice from a selection of our organically grown apples. The apples are pressed, bottled and pasteurised and available in 250ml or 750ml bottles. Our sharing boxes of sweet treats have also been a big success alongside a great selection of hot fork buffet menus.
Lovers of wood oven pizza were also please to learn that they could benefit from our collaboration with the Nether Edge Pizza Company. These can be ordered directly from our online site.
Our meeting, diining and event space, Upstairs@PJtaste has hosted a variety of business meetings, training days and the very popular tram building events. One example of team building was the series of Pasta Making workshops hosted by Vikki of Twiddle Food.
Finally in our Gifts and Hamper range we have introduced A Little Box of Sheffield Goodies. Featuring the new book from Meze Publishing and a range of our Sheffield foodie treats these can be distributed throughout our Sheffield, Rotherham and South Yorkshire delivery area.
