BonChef began with a small shop and a big idea. Back in 1979, we opened our doors as Hayes Catering — a local supplier of catering equipment on the outskirts of London. By 1990, we were designing and selling our own uniforms, and in 2005, BonChef was born as a dedicated clothing brand for chefs and hospitality teams.

It didn’t take long for BonChef to grow. By 2014, it had become our main focus, leading us to bring everything under the BonChef name. Since then, we've supplied kitchens across the UK and in over 15 countries worldwide, driven by a clear goal: to create chef clothing that puts safety, sustainability and accessibility on equal footing with style.

We exist to challenge the status quo. For too long, chefs have had to choose between expensive designer gear or uncomfortable basics. We're here to change that, offering practical, reliable and affordable options that are built for the demands of real kitchen life.

Our mission is simple: to raise the standard and lower the cost, without ever compromising on what matters. 

That means clothing that fits well, lasts longer, and supports teams to work safely and confidently. We’re proud of how far we’ve come, and we’re even more excited about where we’re going.
