About Us
Welcome to Rudd Catering, a family-run wedding and event catering team based near King's Lynn in Norfolk. We have dedicated ourselves to crafting unforgettable wedding days through exceptional, bespoke dining experiences across Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, and Lincolnshire.
We don't believe in rigid, fixed packages. Every menu we create is entirely custom-built around your personal tastes, your venue, and the exact kind of day you want to share with your guests.
When you book Rudd Catering, you work directly with the family team who will actually look after you on the day:
- Chef Ryan leads the kitchen, designing your modern British menus and cooking everything fresh on-site—from the first afternoon canapé to the final late-night slice of pizza.
- Sophie commands front-of-house, coordinating a seamless, calm service so that you and your guests can simply relax and celebrate.
- Tracy brings her creative expertise to our irresistible homemade desserts and custom venue styling, ensuring the room looks just as incredible as the food tastes.
Our Food & Style
Our culinary philosophy focuses on modern, seasonal, and relaxed British food built around fresh Norfolk produce. We effortlessly adapt to a wide variety of dining styles to perfectly suit the energy of your celebration:
- Elegant Plated Dinners: Sophisticated, beautifully presented modern British classics.
- Social Dining Platters: Vibrant, family-style sharing platters and long-table feasts.
- Relaxed Evening Catering: Live stone-baked pizza stations, fully loaded fries, nachos, fish and chip cones, and classic hog roasts.
- All Dietary Requirements Welcomed: Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergen-conscious menus are handled with exact care, ensuring no guest feels like an afterthought.
Complete Day Coordination & Mobile Bars
We specialize in dry-hire venues, rustic barns, marquees, and private garden celebrations. If your venue doesn't have a kitchen, it's no obstacle for us; we bring our own complete kitchen setups, refrigeration, staff, and tableware.
Alongside our food, we provide a fully staffed mobile bar service. We can supply tailored drinks packages, cocktail bars pouring signature mixes, or an evening cash bar—which is generally free of any hire charge when booked alongside a catering package.

How much does wedding catering cost?
Because every wedding is beautifully unique, we build your quote entirely around your guest numbers, venue style, and chosen menu.
To help with your planning, here is a helpful guide to our starting prices:
- Two-Course Plated Menus: Starting from £59 per person
- Three-Course Plated Menus: Starting from £66 per person
To keep your planning simple and stress-free, both of these options proudly include:
- A selection of delightful canapés to welcome your guests
- High-quality crockery, cutlery, and glassware
- Professional, attentive front-of-house service staff
- Crisp table linen (if required for your tables)
Depending on your venue's location and its existing facilities, a travel fee or kitchen setup cost may apply so we can bring our professional kitchen directly to you. We always provide fully transparent, itemised quotes from the very start, so you can plan your day with complete peace of mind.
Do you provide evening snack options?
To keep your evening guests energized and the party atmosphere alive, our popular evening food options start from £10 per person.
We love creating a relaxed, vibrant street-food vibe for the night-time celebrations, offering an array of crowd-pleasing options tailored to your taste. Popular choices include:
- Classic Comforts: Mini fish and chip cones or slow-cooked hog roast rolls
- Modern Favorites: Stone-baked artisanal pizzas or fully loaded premium fries
Just like our daytime menus, we can easily adapt these options to accommodate any dietary requirements or late-night cravings.
Do you offer tastings?
Absolutely. Once your date is booked, two-course wedding and celebration catering for 60 guests or more includes a complimentary tasting for two. We normally hold these in the winter before your event, so you can relax, try the dishes and tweak the menu with Ryan before anything is finalised. Menus are always designed with you, never picked from a fixed package.
Do you provide staff, equipment and a bar?
We do. Our own team cooks and serves the food, and we bring the kitchen, refrigeration and service equipment with us. We also run a fully staffed mobile bar, which is generally free of charge when booked alongside a catering package. If you would prefer to supply your own drinks, we can quote for the staffing, glassware and equipment needed to run the bar seamlessly.
How far ahead should we book?
For weddings, twelve to eighteen months ahead is typical, especially for summer Saturdays. Smaller parties and corporate events often come together with much less notice, so it is always worth getting in touch to check availability.
Are you food hygiene rated?
Yes - Rudd Catering holds a 5-star food hygiene rating from the Food Standards Agency and we are fully insured. Rudd Catering is a trading name of Rudd Events Ltd, based at South Wootton near King's Lynn.
