It’s ‘real love’ in the shape of a new van lovingly named ‘Peggy’ by the kids! 🫶

It has been a work of love finding the right van and then designing the wrap which captures the look and feel of our business. Big thanks to and for all their hard work!

Keep an eye out for ‘Peggy’ and give her a friendly toot toot if you spot her!

Some delights from various events we’ve catered for over the last few weeks:

1. Chocolate torte with a honeycomb and salted caramel cream for a 10 person dinner party last weekend

2. Homemade rosemary focaccia for a 40 person sandwich lunch at one of our London corporate clients

3. Spiced cauliflower pakoras with an emulsified curried sauce for a 60 person charity canapé event last week

4. Seared miso tuna & Japanese crunchy cucumber with a wasabi mayo and toasted sesame seeds for an small dinner party

A big shout out to our very talented team of chefs who work very hard to produce just some of these incredible dishes:

We are back for their annual Wedding Show with next Sunday 1st September!

We loved being there last year and met some of the lovely wedding couples who we then catered for this year!

We will be showcasing both our businesses! Lots of wedding couples use George’s Kitchen for their wedding breakfast and then for their evening food and have left some lovely testimonials about how well they worked in tandem.

If you’re considering Chenies Manor as a venue for your wedding, then come along to have a chat with us and try some of our signature wedding canapés!

George doesn’t know I am posting this about him but I think he more than deserves it… 🧡

For 12 weeks solid George has worked most the week and nearly every single weekend (sometimes both Saturday and Sunday). From 130 person weddings to 80 person events, he’s headed up every event effortlessly and with endlessly positive client feedback.

To be precise, we’ve run 5 Rocket Oven events, 6 weddings, 6 private client events and 10 corporate events over the last 3 months. 😰

George is an absolute ox 🐂 and somehow always then shows up as an amazing daddy to our two very young kids who demand a lot! 👧🏼 🧒

It’s fair to say that he’s now tired.

This isn’t intended to sound like a moan. Just an honest post about how a small family business can sometimes be… We love what we do, all our lovely clients / venues and we certainly couldn’t do any of this without our amazing team behind us!

We are about to go on a very much needed break before we run into September energised ready for our next series of events!

Did we mention we love working ?!

We’ve just done our final two weddings there for the year having catered there the last two weekends.

Johana, photographed holding the canapés, is one of the many new amazing local waiting staff to join our team this year. We have been on a big hunt for local staff (instead of relying on our London options) and she is such an asset! Hard working and efficient, she’s exactly why we get the kind of feedback below from our wedding client last weekend:

“We loved all of the food. The service was impeccable, and we were so grateful for how your team managed the wine service and moving and serving the cake.“

Some recent food delights from our amazing chef :

1. Burrata with Grilled Peaches for one of our corporate clients

2. Chicken Supreme with Fondant Potatoes, Girolles and a Chanterelle Cream Sauce for a private dinner party

3. Jerk Chicken Croquettes with a Pineapple Purée for a Caribbean themed annual staff party

4. Gochujang Chicken Dumplings for a corporate rooftop party

5. Goats Cheese, Pancetta and Sage Canapé for another corporate party

We recently catered for a private client’s big birthday celebration in their home. We catered for 110 guests serving them bowl foods and a light night snack as well as managing the drinks service.

We feel very lucky to work with such wonderful clients and love helping bring the vision for their event to life.

Make sure you reach out if you’re looking to have your event catered. We love helping from conception right through to the event itself.

An appreciation post to our Head Waiter, Diego, and Assistant Head Waiter, Luana. ✨

They’ve been working with us for over a decade and, where possible, they head up the service side of things for us at every event. They even catered for our wedding at (last photo) nearly 6 years ago!

You’ll see Diego’s name peppered across a lot of our testimonials as he’s that memorable to our clients. 🧡

At George’s Kitchen and we are aware that excellent food cannot be carried off if the service isn’t good enough. This is why we never use agency staff and take great pride in training our staff to the highest of standards.

Wedding season has officially kicked off for us at Chenies Manor House and Gardens having catered there the last two weekends.

This weekend George and the rest of our team catered and served canapés, a two course wedding breakfast and finished with The Rocket Oven for evening food.

We were so touched when we received an in person thank you and card from the happy couple yesterday. 🥹

As you know, we love working at this venue and can’t wait for more weddings to come over the summer!

Last week was a busy one at our regular corporate client catering for over 150 people.

We’ve given George’s Kitchen a face-lift!

After over a decade of the same branding, we decided it was time for a freshen up.

Originally we were just looking to change our website using the same company that created website. However, we quickly realised the branding felt outdated so we changed this too!

We love the results! Let us know what you think? And take a look at our website as well to see our new look - link in bio.

It’s T-minus 7 days until we pick up our Rocket 🚀

The last year has been an incredibly challenging time for George’s Kitchen. However, this new venture is the perfect silver lining and something we have been working towards for the past 6 months!

The countdown to blast off is on! Give us a follow and stay updated on our launch and beyond 🚀 🚀 🚀
