Wedding Catering

Handcrafted wedding food made with simple, honest ingredients, cooked with care for your special day. We create menus that feel personal, generous and full of flavour, shaped around you and your celebration.

Experienced Wedding Catering for Remote and Countryside Locations. Everything begins with seasonal produce and well-handled ingredients that are prepared with care from start to finish.

We regularly cater in countryside settings, barns, farms and remote venues across Cumbria and the Lake District, and we understand the unique challenges that come with each space. Before your day, we take time to walk through your location, understand the layout, the power supply, the kitchen access and what equipment is already in place.

We then identify any additional items needed to deliver your menu smoothly. This can include ovens, refrigeration, prep equipment or serving essentials. From there, we prepare clear costings for setup and staffing so you know exactly what is required.

Your per-head pricing reflects every item you choose, keeping everything simple, transparent and easy to follow. Whether you are celebrating in a traditional venue or building a kitchen in a field, we bring a steady, organised presence that fits naturally into your day.

For fields, farms, marquees, tipis and barns, we can create a fully functioning field kitchen with everything needed to prepare, cook and serve your chosen menu. We bring tableware, crockery and cutlery, and we provide the friendly, experienced staff needed to serve your meal smoothly.

Our role is to keep everything steady and organised, managing each stage of preparation and service so you can relax and enjoy your celebration, knowing your catering is in safe hands.

It really was the best day of our lives and you, Michael and the rest of the team played a massive part in making it so special for us. The service you provided from first contact, through an incredible menu tasting experience and then the amazing wedding day itself, was first class. We would happily recommend you to anyone. Viv, The part you play in making sure couples have the most special day shouldn't be underestimated. You left no stone unturned and our day wouldn't have been anywhere near as good without your input. and it's a part of our wedding that we will certainly never forget. - The Robertsons
