Yesterday’s Wedding Feast — A Classic with Elegance 🥂

Yesterday’s wedding guests were treated to a stunning plated meal that brought timeless favourites together with beautifully refined presentation. On the menu: tender slices of roast beef, slow-cooked fondant potatoes, a perfectly puffed Yorkshire pudding, and a generous pour of rich gravy — all finished with a crisp pea shoot garnish for a fresh, vibrant touch.

It’s always a privilege to cater such special moments, and we’re proud to bring both flavour and finesse to the table. Huge thanks to our kitchen and service teams for delivering with style and precision, and to our lovely couple for choosing us to be part of their big day 💍✨

👨‍🍳 We’re Hiring: Passionate Chef Wanted for Dynamic Outside Catering Team! 🍽️

Cox Catering is on the lookout for a talented, driven Chef to join our team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives under pressure, embraces variety, and takes pride in delivering top-quality food – whether in a fully equipped hotel kitchen or a basic field setup.

🔥 What We’re Looking For:

We want someone who:
• Can work under their own initiative in a fast-paced and often high-pressure catering environment.
• Is adaptable and confident working at diverse locations – from luxury venues to rustic outdoor kitchens.
• Has strong communication and teamwork skills, and a genuine passion for food.
• Ideally holds a clean driving licence for travel to various event sites.

🧭 Base Location:

You’ll be based at our production kitchen in Newark-on-Trent, with travel to off-site venues as needed.

🕒 Hours:

This is currently a part-time role, with flexible hours depending on event schedules.
However, for the right candidate, there is potential for this to develop into a full-time position.

🍳 Key Responsibilities:
• Support kitchen operations: Assist in managing day-to-day activities from prep to service.
• Food preparation: Deliver dishes to high standards of quality, taste, and consistency.
• Menu development: Bring creative flair to the table and help craft seasonal menus.
• Stock control: Help manage inventory, control waste, and ensure stock levels are cost-effective.
• Hygiene compliance: Ensure all food safety and health regulations are met at every site.

✨ Consistently Excellent – Wherever We Go! ✨

We’re thrilled to share that we’ve once again retained our 5-star Food Hygiene Rating! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Maintaining the highest standards is vital — especially when we’re out on the road, catering in venues, fields, boardrooms, marquees, and everything in between. Working outside a traditional kitchen means extra challenges, but our commitment to safety, cleanliness, and professionalism never wavers.

Wherever we serve, you can be confident it’s done right. ✅

Thank you to our incredible team for always going the extra mile — literally!
