Caterers in Norwich
Catering in Norwich and east Norfolk.
We're Rudd Catering - a family-run team based at South Wootton near King's Lynn, catering weddings, corporate events, private parties and funeral receptions across Norwich and east Norfolk. No fixed packages: every menu is built around you, your venue and your guests.
Norwich is one of our regular runs. From city centre venues and country houses to barns and marquees in the villages east of the county, we bring the same approach everywhere: modern British food built on fresh Norfolk produce, prepared by our own team and served by people who care about your day going well.
Because we cater marquee weddings and garden parties week in, week out, a venue without a kitchen is no obstacle. We arrive early, set up a working kitchen on site, and stay right through to the end - tables cleared, glassware collected, everything left as we found it. Ryan or Sophie will personally walk through the plan with you beforehand.
We cover the whole of the city and the surrounding area - Cringleford, Eaton, Trowse, Thorpe St Andrew, Sprowston, Wymondham, Hethersett, Wroxham, Acle and everywhere in between - as well as the wider county from our base near King’s Lynn.

Norwich catering questions
The practical answers, plainly.
- Do you cater events in Norwich?
- Yes. Norwich and east Norfolk are a regular run for us - we're based at South Wootton, just north of King's Lynn, and cater weddings, corporate events, private parties and funeral receptions across the city and the surrounding villages throughout the year.
- Is there a travel charge for Norwich events?
- Norwich is comfortably within our normal working area. Events more than 25 miles from PE30 may carry a small additional travel charge, which we always discuss openly and confirm in your written quote before you commit to anything.
- What kinds of events do you cater in Norwich?
- Weddings in barns, country houses and city venues, corporate lunches and awards evenings, milestone birthdays, christenings, anniversary parties and funeral receptions. We also offer private dining, afternoon tea, sharing platters and hog roasts across the Norwich area.
- Can you cater at a venue that has no kitchen?
- Almost always, yes. Marquees, barns, village halls and gardens are our bread and butter - we bring everything we need with us and set up a working kitchen on site. If we haven't catered at your venue before, we'll happily visit beforehand to plan it properly.
- How much does catering in Norwich cost?
- Every menu is quoted individually, but as a guide: hog roasts start from £36 per guest, afternoon tea from £42, and plated wedding menus from £59 per guest. Our menus and pricing page has the full detail, and Ryan will confirm exact figures in a tailored proposal.
- How far ahead should we book for a Norwich event?
- For summer weddings we recommend getting in touch 12 to 18 months ahead, as peak Saturdays go quickly. Corporate events, parties and funeral receptions can often be arranged at much shorter notice - it's always worth asking, even at the last minute.
