We booked James 3 years ago for a 2020 wedding, but a global pandemic got in the way.
We finally had the wedding 23rd September 2021.
I can’t recommend James and his team enough, through all the date changes and even on the day they had some major issues to deal with but they all carried on with so much professionalism and smiles on their faces and the food was superb.

We met the guys who run JP's Kitchen this weekend at a wedding showcase where we were exhibiting alongside them as Leigh Catering. They were absolutely delightful, friendly, chatty and approachable, and their stall was stunning. Beautiful, creative ideas, and the most delicious food. We were very impressed! We're adding them to our little black book. More...

James catered our wedding in July of this year. We met with him beforehand to discuss the food and the details of the day. He gave us quality time and attention to understand what type of wedding we were having. The food was absolutely fantastic, so delicious and full of flavour. The team were lovely, friendly and well organised and helped make our special day go so smoothly. They organised the bar in addition to the food which worked really well for us. The canpaes were fantastic too, so nice to have something different to the usual wedding canapes. James really understands food, he is passionate and produces delicious food. We would recommend James to everyone! Just thinking about the food James cooked for us is making my mouth water, it was a 10/10 meal. More...

Thank you to James and his team for making our event such a resounding success.Even the though the weather let us down badly, James and his team worked effortlessly in the rain under their gazebo, to ensure we had the most delicious feast! !We had lamb burgers, Cajun chicken, prawns, jumbo hot dogs, beetroot and quinoa burgers and halloumi skewers plus all the condiments, rolls and salads. Our guests absolutely loved the food and went back several times for more!! I have had so many messages over the weekend praising the taste and quality of the food!!Thank you very much for all your hard work James, and I will definitely be calling upon your services again.Kind regardsSimmi More...

When setting up, would hardly know he was there. Guests of 50 gave wonderful comments and thouroughly enjoyed his food. We were totally more than satisfied. Well done to JP;s Kitchen. 100% recommended. More...

When looking for caterers for our wedding reception I was given so many different options but I am so glad I chose JP’s Kitchen! We chose the BBQ and paella package. From start to finish it was effortless, they arrived on the day right on time and set up with no fuss. The food was truly incredible and the servers were two of the nicest people! We asked if they could stay longer as everyone was loving it so much and they couldn’t have been more accommodating. When it was time for them to go they took all their rubbish with them, filled my fridge with the left over food and even offered to help our singer out to the car with her equipment! So many of our guests asked for their contact details too!We also hired one of their cocktail barmen John, and what a hit he was! Not only did he make the most amazing cocktails we had ever tasted our guests absolutely loved him! He was funny, engaging and even tidied up after himself. Also soon after he arrived he noticed I was stressing about the lack of ice and he took it upon himself to nip out to the local shop when we were eating and buy some more that lasted the rest of the night (and some other ingredients that I had forgotten!) - thank you ‘Minty’! We wouldn’t hesitate to use JP’s Kitchen again and are already trying to think up an occasion where we can throw another party! More...

James, I just want to say a huge thank you for creating such a great meal for our wedding! All of our guests absolutely loved the Hog Roast; they all commented on how good it tasted and on the theatre of cooking the whole hog in front of us! It completely added to the success of the day and could not have been any better. You offered a really good range (including for us annoying 'gluten frees'), were really well organised and kept the entire area clean. Thanks again for all your work and I would definitely recommend James to anyone. More...

I would highly recommend JP'S kitchens. We used them for a garden party with around 80 guests. There was plenty of food to go around and it was of a very high standard. We went for the BBQ menu followed by cheese cake... perfect. The service was timely efficient and extremely professional. Many of our guests were late, so the staff delayed the cooking 30 minutes to ensure, the audience was ready. I would certainly use them again.. More...

Big thanks to JP's kitchen for the outstanding catering at my wedding last month. I still dream about white chocolate cheesecake and the cheese Tower - my two favourite desserts! The team were incredibly attentive (even though I was a bridezilla) and OMG there was so much food, our guests were thrilled and very full! Would give 6 stars if I could :) More...

Hi James, Jen and I just wanted to say a big thank you for last weekend and for putting on some amazing food. We had loads of compliments on the food and you guys just made the day as relaxed as me and Jen were hoping it to be. We really appreciate the extra bits you did like foiling up the containers and tupperware boxes. I hope you had a good day too and we had to give some of the pork away to people at work because we just weren’t going to finish it all our selves. But everyone we gave it to said it was great. So it didn’t go to waste!! Thanks again and I’ll certainly keep you in mind for anyone who asks or if we ever have another big celebration again. All the best, Patrick More...

Q&As

Being a chef for so long, it’s difficult to choose just one dish however I do Prefer to cook with seafood!

Best way I find is to meet with my clients, get to know exactly what they want.

The versatility of the job, different locations and the interaction with the clients.

I spent a couple of years catering for A-List celebrities and various VIP’s and loved the variety of food I was asked to do.
