Behind the Apron

Scott Bailey

Founder

Chef Scott Bailey founded City Farm Catering in 2015 with a clear vision - to build a company renowned for quality, dedication, and creativity. These values remain at the heart of everything we do and have guided our growth into one of the most sought-after catering companies in Ontario, serving clients across major cities with unforgettable food and service.

Before launching City Farm Catering, Chef Scott honed his craft with a coveted stage at The Fat Duck — one of only three restaurants in Great Britain to hold the prestigious three Michelin stars. Under the leadership of culinary legend Chef Heston Blumenthal, he gained a global perspective and the innovative mindset that continue to define his work today.

Returning home to Hamilton, Chef Scott worked with some of the region’s most acclaimed restaurants, including Ancaster Mill, Spencer’s at the Waterfront & Bread Bar.

These experiences built the foundation for City Farm Catering’s approach to exceptional, locally inspired cuisine.

His dedication and talent earned him recognition as one of Ontario Hostelry Institute’s Top 30 Under 30, and opportunities to collaborate with world-renowned chefs including Michael Stadtlander, Curtis Stone, and Carlo Petrini, founder of the International Slow Food Movement.

Today, City Farm Catering is known for pushing the boundaries of catering — bringing restaurant-quality dining to unique and offsite destinations with a focus on fresh, local, and regional ingredients. Every detail is meticulously considered, every dish handcrafted, and every event tailored to exceed even the highest expectations.

Chef Ben brings over two decades of experience in the hospitality industry and more than 12 years of professional cooking to the City Farm Catering kitchen. With a foundation built on both formal training and hands-on experience, he brings a thoughtful blend of creativity, skill, and leadership to every dish.

A graduate of the culinary arts program at George Brown College, Ben has honed his craft through mentorship and years of experience working alongside respected chefs.

Early in his career, Ben was part of the opening teams at Bread Bar Locke and Bread Bar James before spending several years at Parts & Labour in Toronto, working alongside Matty Matheson. During his time there, he progressed from line cook to Head Chef, leading the kitchen with confidence and a strong sense of purpose. His career has also taken him beyond Canada, with opportunities to cook at events in New York—an experience that further shaped his perspective and approach to food.

Today, Ben is the Executive Chef of City Farm Catering, where he leads a culinary team dedicated to crafting flavour-driven cuisine rooted in quality, creativity, and exceptional hospitality. He takes great pride in being part of life’s most meaningful celebrations, ensuring every guest enjoys a memorable and thoughtfully crafted dining experience.
