Where we work

Catering across Norfolk and the surrounding counties.

We're a family-run Norfolk catering team based at South Wootton, near King's Lynn. Most of our work is within an hour of the kitchen - though we happily travel further for the right day.

King's Lynn & west Norfolk

Our home. We're based at South Wootton, just north of King's Lynn, which means short journeys, early set-ups and easy site visits across Downham Market, Swaffham, Hunstanton and the villages in between.

North Norfolk coast

Fakenham, Wells, Holt, Burnham Market and the coast road. Marquees in coastal gardens, barn weddings inland and afternoon tea by the sea.

Norwich & east Norfolk

City venues, country houses and barns east of the county. Corporate lunches, awards evenings and weddings within comfortable reach of the kitchen.

Cambridgeshire & the Fens

Cambridge, Ely, Wisbech, March and the surrounding villages - a regular run for us, and where several of our recent weddings have been.

Suffolk & Lincolnshire

Bury St Edmunds, Newmarket and over the borders for weddings, private parties and corporate events. We travel where the day makes sense; mileage is discussed openly up front.

Venues

Barns, marquees, country houses and gardens.

We’re regularly recommended at local venues such as Hill Farm Barns, The Red Barn, South Runcton, Thursford, King’s Lynn Town Hall, Rudd Marquees and many more, as well as celebrations in private homes and gardens across the region.

If you’re not sure whether your venue works for us, tell us where it is. We know most of the local ones, and if we don’t we’ll go and look.

Questions

Travel, venues and coverage.

What areas of Norfolk do you cater in?
We're based at South Wootton, just north of King's Lynn, and cater right across Norfolk - King's Lynn, Downham Market, Swaffham, Hunstanton, Fakenham, Wells, Holt, Norwich and all the villages in between. We also work regularly in Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Lincolnshire.
Do you travel outside Norfolk?
Yes. Cambridge, Ely, Wisbech, March, Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket are all regular runs for us, and we're happy to travel further for the right event. Any mileage is discussed openly up front, so there are no surprises on your quote.
Do you charge a travel fee?
Most of our events are within an hour of the kitchen and travel is included. For venues further afield we add a clear, agreed travel cost to the quote before you book - never afterwards.
Can you cater at a venue you haven't worked at before?
Almost always. We know most venues in Norfolk and west Cambridgeshire already, and where we don't we'll visit ahead of your date to check the kitchen, power, water and access. We're well used to dry-hire venues, marquees and gardens with no kitchen at all.
Do you cater weddings in marquees and gardens?
Yes - a large share of our weddings are in marquees, tipis, barns and private gardens. We bring our own field kitchen, refrigeration, service equipment and staff, so a site with no facilities is not a problem.
Which Norfolk venues do you work at?
We know most venues across Norfolk and the surrounding area. Among the places we've worked are Hill Farm Barns, The Red Barn at South Runcton, Godwick Barn, Little Massingham Barn, Thursford, King's Lynn Town Hall and Rudd Marquees, alongside many private homes and gardens across the region.
