Ceylon and Beyond was born out of friends and family sharing a common vision, to provide meaningful, genuine, quality food, catering for events across the spectrum.

Together our team holds experience in five star and Michelin awarded restaurants, culinary training across the globe, along with cross-industry backgrounds and worldwide travels influencing our signature style and approach. Our aim is to introduce unique and exciting flavours, paired with industry training and techniques, so that our customers can experience true balance in every mouthful.

We follow an ‘earth to plate’ philosophy, believing that every dish we make should resonate with its origins, honouring the vibrancy and enhancing the nature of each ingredient. We offer something authentic and different; whether it’s tantalising street food at a music festival, a plated menu for a special night, or to thrill your family and friends with bespoke tailored dining on your wedding day.

Honouring our Asian heritage and ancient medicine is key to us – the sensation of homeliness, comfort and wellbeing. Our spices are home grown, traditionally harvested and sun dried in a simple and timeless process, then imported to us in direct small batches. Clean and seasonal tastes, along with humble, playful and curious methods.

Starting off in street food markets in Bristol, in their first season the team had the opportunity to take their Sri Lankan food stall to some of the largest music events in the UK, including the Isle of Wight festival, Latitude festival, Shambala and more.

Simultaneously, they built a strong reputation for delivering professional and seamless fine dining events, travelling across the south west to parties and weddings with a delectable selection of bespoke menus. Now in its second year, the company is growing
into a flourishing catering and event provider, famous for some of the tastiest street food in Bristol and for their unique take on classic and fusion dishes.
