King’s Lynn, Norfolk — family-run since 2008
Wedding & event catering
in Norfolk.
A note from the family
We’re a family-run wedding and event catering team based near King’s Lynn, Norfolk, working across Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Lincolnshire. We cook modern, seasonal food built around Norfolk produce, and we look after every part of the day around it - from the first arrival drinks to the last plate cleared away.
Meet Ryan, Sophie & Tracy
A family team who genuinely love looking after people.
Ryan leads the kitchen. He works directly with every client to design menus and plan the food side of the day. Sophie runs front of house, coordinates the event and makes sure the whole day flows from beginning to end. Tracy brings the desserts, the venue styling and the finishing touches.
From your first enquiry to the last guest leaving, you’ll be looked after by the family - not passed between account managers.
The shape of a day
How a Rudd Catering day tends to unfold.
On site early
We arrive well ahead of your guests. Kitchen set, produce in from local growers, bar stocked. Sophie walks the space with your planner or venue while Ryan gets the food underway.
“The food was exceptional and the service was seemless. Our guests were just as complimentary of the food as we were and we are still receiving compliments about the wedding breakfast.”
Drinks & canapés
Guests arrive to a warm welcome from Sophie and the front-of-house team. Drinks are ready, canapés circulate. If you’ve booked our mobile bar or cocktail service, it’s open and pouring.
Modern British, built around Norfolk produce
Wedding breakfasts are modern British and tailored to you - never a fixed package. Evening food is more relaxed: stone baked pizzas, fully loaded fries and nachos, fish and chip cones, hog roast rolls, traditional buffets and more.
What we do
An event partner - not simply a catering company.
Weddings
Marquees, barns, country houses.
Every wedding is different. Planning starts with a conversation and, where it fits, a tasting before we finalise your menu.
Corporate
Considered corporate hospitality.
Launches, awards evenings, board dinners, charity events and hosted lunches across Norfolk and beyond.
Celebrations
Private parties & garden gatherings.
Birthdays, anniversaries, garden parties and outdoor events. Small and personal, or a full-scale celebration.
The journal
Stories from the road.
