Our Services

Catering. Design. Planning.

Are you looking to activate or reactivate and transform your food and beverage spaces? Creating new stories and experiences for users and operators. For your Visitors, Students, workers…

Our years of experience working throughout all areas of hospitality and as catering design consultants means we create compelling presentations and detailed plans, bringing your vision to life. We ensure partners, stakeholders and users are engaged, and projects are realistic, arriving on time and on budget.

This starts with great design and accurate data. Get that right, and everything else falls into place. Our catering design consultants are experts at just that.

Are you creating a welcoming and social space that’s built to last? Whether you need the right number of covers for a restaurant or the perfect capacity for a canteen or dining hall, your design should balance comfort, durability, and efficiency. Our catering consultancy supports clients from early feasibility through to final fit-out.

And it’s not just about the front-of-house experience. Does your kitchen workflow maximise productivity? Is the lighting and ventilation optimised? Are you keeping energy costs down while ensuring a comfortable working environment for your staff? Are you improving your users’ experience, and is it future-proof?

More strategically, is your business built for growth? Can you seamlessly integrate new technology? Are you staying ahead of the competition and giving people a space that feels engaging and accessible?

These are the questions we answer.

Our in-house catering design and planning specialists and kitchen consultants bring industry expertise and technical know-how to every project. Whether it’s a new build or a refurbishment, we follow the RIBA Stage Plan of Work (2013) 0-7 and use cutting-edge technologies to ensure precision and efficiency.

Hospitality & Catering Recruitment

  • We recently worked with the team at MYA on a bid for a tender for multiple catering sites. Their proactive, innovative and dynamic approach to the task was a breath of fresh air, and we were able to work systematically through a complex set of designs with an abundance of creativity and design options to consider. Throughout the whole process, the team at MYA were fully engaged and, above all, great fun to work with. I will definitely be working with the team again on future projects and would highly recommend them as design consultants.

    Steven Braithwaite, Managing Director, Somerset Larder

  • We recently had the pleasure of collaborating with MYA on the City of London School for Girls project at the Barbican, London. One of the standout aspects of MYA’s involvement was their swift, detailed, and highly effective coordination of design elements. MYA’s proactive approach, attention to detail, and dedication to achieving design harmony made them an invaluable partner in this project. Their ability to strategically align diverse design aspects contributed significantly to the success of the collaboration, reinforcing the importance of well-integrated teamwork in delivering high-quality solutions.

  • The team, led by Carla McKenzie, were meticulous in every detail. They modelled the cleaning requirements to deliver the optimum solution for the facilities across EMEA, and really took time to understand the culture of our business. I have no hesitation in recommending MYA and its team – they are dedicated and innovative, and always go the extra mile.

  • Carla and her team have broad experience in the industry. Apart from being very supportive in inventing (new) concepts, they also make use of their many years of experience when implementing these concepts. Their ultimate goal is to let people enjoy honest and good food.

    Marcel Bisselink, Owner, Daily Fresh Food, Galeen, Netherlands

  • Carla and her team worked tirelessly with us to ensure our very international and cross-cultural needs were met with great creativity and skill. They listened to us, responded to our needs and delivered above expectations.

    Angela Hencher, Director of Business Administration, Dulwich College, Shanghai Pudong

  • They are brave enough to challenge others in pursuit of the ultimate solution, whether it be behind the scenes with kitchen flow and catering management, or front-of-house service and design.

  • If all companies who serve the independent school sector had your breadth of vision and openness of mind, I have little doubt that the sector would be a richer and more exciting place to be.

    Phillip Godfrey, Bursar, Halliford School

  • During the negotiation process, Carla’s knowledge and expertise enabled our company to achieve a very strong commercial outcome, and some significant savings were yielded from the exercise.
