Chef Scott took his passion and commitment to quality food to the next level when he accepted a coveted apprenticeship at The Fat Duck, in Berkshire, England – one of only four restaurants in Great Britain to receive three Michelin Stars and owned by celebrity Chef Heston Blumenthal. His time with Chef Blumenthal would prove to have a profound effect on Chef Scott’s culinary technique and style. Scott would go on to work with Canadian celebrity Chef Michael Stadtlander, Australian celebrity Chef Curtis Stone and Carlo Petrini, founder of the International Slow Food Movement, to name only some of the most notable members of the industry he has been inspired by. In 2011, Chef Scott would be named to the Ontario Hostelry Institute’s prestigious Top 30 Under 30 list. More recently, he took his talents to the Iron Chef Uptown Series, a culinary competition in Waterloo, Ontario, where he won. With the opening of City Farm Catering Est. 2014, Chef Scott aims to take the skills and knowledge he has developed over the past 2 decades of culinary experiences to a whole new level.

Building Skills That Last a Lifetime ⭐️

At City Farm Catering, we believe exceptional events are built by exceptional people—and that starts with creating opportunities.

As a proudly Hamilton-based family business, we’re passionate about investing in local youth by partnering with area high schools to provide co-op placements and hands-on experience in the hospitality industry.

Behind every event are young people learning valuable skills in teamwork, leadership, communication, professionalism, and hospitality. Whether they choose a future in the culinary world or take these experiences into another career, we’re proud to play a small part in helping them build confidence and skills that will last a lifetime.

Watching these students grow into hardworking, capable professionals is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.

When you choose City Farm Catering, you’re not only supporting a local family business—you’re also helping create meaningful opportunities for the next generation in our community.

It’s a small part of who we are, but one we’re incredibly proud of. ❤️

Meet Chef Ben 👨‍🍳

While many of you may already recognize him from behind the scenes at our events last season, we are excited to officially introduce Benjamin Daiken, Executive Chef at City Farm Catering.

With over 20 years in the hospitality industry, Chef Ben brings a thoughtful blend of creativity, leadership, and passion to every event we are part of.

A graduate of the culinary arts program at George Brown College, Ben’s career has taken him through some incredible kitchens — from being part of the opening teams at Bread Bar Locke and Bread Bar James to leading the kitchen as Head Chef at Parts & Labour in Toronto, where he worked alongside Matty Matheson.

Known for his flavour-driven approach to food and attention to detail, Chef Ben is passionate about creating memorable dining experiences that bring people together. Whether it is an intimate gathering or a large celebration, he believes every dish should be crafted with care, intention, and creativity.

After an incredible season with us last year, we are proud to have Chef Ben continuing to lead our culinary team as we head into another exciting season of weddings, celebrations, and unforgettable events.
