Who We Are
Hi, my name is David Joy,
I walked into a kitchen 31 years ago to help a family friend and never left one since. From working in a 2 Rosette seafood restaurant in the south of Ireland looking out on the Atlantic ocean, to living in Spain where I met my wife and moved to the UK.
I’ve been fortunate to cook for many heads of state including some from the European Union to sporting stars and people from the entertainment industry, my favorites being; Rod Stewart, Boyzone, Westlife and many more!!!
I decided to form my own business in 2022 and named it after the greatest things in my life; my children. Me and my wife Kate strive to provide the best dining experience for each individual by sourcing local ingredients.
Our clients are at the heart of everything we do. We tailor our services to your needs, taking the time not just to curate an exceptional menu, but a dining experience set to exceed expectations.
We work closely with you to understand your dietary preferences, style, ambiance, and timelines which allows us to curate an offering that is truly unique. No request exceeds our capabilities thanks to the varied and highly skilled EdithJamesCatering team.
All staff members are hand selected according to you and your requirements, enabling us to carefully consider skill sets, personality and cuisine. Leaving no stone unturned.
Our promise to you is simple – exceptional service that goes the extra mile.

Wingman Golf Society is your go-to for golf that's more than just a game. It's about fun, friendship, and a shared mission to help others. Think of us as your Maverick, and you're our Goose – always there to back each other up, celebrate the victories (even the ones that involve a lucky bounce out of the trees), and navigate the occasional bogey.
