Welcome to Food by Franco’s

Franco’s generous grazing table with cheeses, crackers, grapes, olives, pickles and chutneys

We’re more than just a café.

Lots of you know Franco’s for its lively, vibrant café in Chippenham. And if you don’t, you really should visit.

We’re open Monday to Friday, 8.30am–3pm, serving a large range of coffees and some banging bacon sarnies in the morning. At lunch, we come alive with create-your-own baguettes, beautiful toasties, jacket potatoes and seasonal specials, including soups and larger meals.

Pop down and visit. We can’t wait to see you.

Corporate catering.

If you’ve been to the café, there’s a good chance you’ve seen us preparing food for businesses on our park and further afield.

We’ve catered for companies including Google, Airbus, the BBC, NVIDIA and ARK, as well as local businesses and organisations such as CarbonThreeSixty, FourBro’s, Wiltshire Council and many, many more.

Our flexible menus mean we can work with a range of budgets, whether you’re hosting investors or just having a team catch-up. That might mean an easy working lunch to share around the meeting table, or a more generous spread when you’ve got something to celebrate. Tell us about the people, the occasion and the time you have, and we’ll help shape the food around it.

Have a chat with our about what you need. Put your enquiry together and share it with the team, who’ll be in touch to discuss your menu, quote and booking.

Weddings.

We specialise in banquet-style weddings. Big tables, plenty of food and everyone diving in to share.

There’s absolutely a place for plated wedding catering—and we’re happy to talk about it—but what we’re most passionate about is a banquet.

Picture generous trays of pulled meats or large joints, bowls piled high with garlic and herb roasted potatoes, and jugs of steaming hot port and cranberry gravy. Plates being passed, people helping themselves and a table that feels like a celebration. It’s the sort of food that brings everyone together.

Tell our what you have in mind. We’d love to help you bring it together.

Special occasions.

Whether you’re hosting a birthday party at home or a christening at a larger venue, we’d love to cater for you.

You might want a simple buffet, a grazing table or a few canapés. Or perhaps hot pulled pork baps while everyone enjoys a few beers. We’re always up for talking through something different. The food should suit the way you want to spend the day: sitting down together, catching up over a few drinks or letting everyone graze at their own pace. You don’t need to have it all worked out before you get in touch.

If you have something in mind, or you’re just after a few ideas, chat it through with our . Once you’ve shared your enquiry, our team will get back to you.

Food your guests will remember.

I’ve been catering for over 20 years, and my ambition is simple: to give you food that you and your guests will remember.

We keep our online menus to a minimum because we don’t want to be pigeonholed into one type of food or style. The photos give you a flavour of what we do, but your event should feel like yours. Start with a favourite dish, a way you’d like to serve the food, or simply the sort of atmosphere you want to create. We can take it from there together.

Talk through exactly what you’d like with our . It helps you pull everything together while it’s fresh in your mind, so I can read through your enquiry and come back to you personally.

Our food and events are always so well received. But don’t just take our word for it.
