Russell's culinary career has stretched for over 20 years. Starting as a teenage pot wash in Devon Russell worked his way up, training in several Rosette restaurants under London chefs across the South West. Moving to the South East he quickly progressed to Head Chef at a busy gastro pub. After 8 successful years, and keen to extend his knowledge, he began working across London and the South East for several leading chefs within the event sector.
Reception drinks, canapes and our Three Course Menus are the perfect choice for your celebration. Whether a garden marquee or a stately home, Kitchen of Kent can take care of all your needs allowing you to enjoy your special day. We want to make the planning and run up to your big day as easy and stress free as possible.
Having catered the opening of BMW Reading for 500 people, provided hospitality at the Captain's House for RBS Six Nations Rugby and held contracts for the London Symphony Orchestra at Old Street we certainly know what goes into making corporate events run smoothly so you can concentrate on promoting your company.
At Kitchen of Kent we like to blend exciting and imaginative flavours to give you and your guests the best food while remaining committed to using local suppliers and seasonal produce. Our dishes are traditionally British with a contemporary twist and our reputation has been built on repeatedly delivering exceptional weddings and events throughout the South East.
We've had the pleasure of catering at many of Kents most beautiful wedding venues and are a preferred supplier for many of them. Here are few words from the venues themselves and a useful link to their websites. Nestled in rolling countryside, just off the M25, Chiddingstone Castle is one of Kent's finest historic houses and a much sought-after wedding venue.

Russell is a very experienced and extremely friendly chef. All of our guests said his cooking was very tasty and a full day catering service of canopes, a 3-course meal and evening food was provided to a high standard. When we moved our wedding out by a year due to COVID, Russell made it very easy to change the date with no fee. We would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone!

We had Kitchen of Kent as our wedding caterers. The whole experience from organising the day, tasting the food and the wedding day was amazing. The food was incredible, we had many comments from our guests on how good the food was. Dietary requirements were also all provided for and the Vegans very much enjoyed their meal too!
Thank you KofK for making our day very special.

Russell and the team did a fantastic job catering our wedding in September 2021. The food was delicious and many of our guests mentioned how much they enjoyed it. Russell was supportive with our wedding postponement and worked with us to find a new date and also made changes to the menu to fit our dietary requirements. He was really organised and helpful throughout. Kimberley, our event manager on the day, was superb and her and the team’s attention to detail including our table decorations was beyond our expectations. We would 100% recommend kitchen of Kent and K bar for other weddings - you

Kitchen of kent catered for 70 people at our wedding in August Bank holiday 2021. We ordered the hog roast for our wedding breakfast and pizzas for our evening guests, with staff manning our bar all evening until 12am.
Russell and the team could not have made our wedding catering experience any better and we couldn’t be more happy that we chose them!
We would recommend them to anyone looking for a first class catering experience for their event and if we could afford to host more parties like our wedding they would have continual repeat customers from us.
Thanks once again guys :)

Russel and the team did an amazing job with catering for our wedding. We chose a vegetarian tasting menu with quite a complex set of dishes and every dish came out perfect. Even the meat eaters were blown away by the dishes! Would highly recommend Kitchen of Kent for events - a very professional team with great service.

We hired Kitchen of Kent to provide the catering for our wedding reception, and we couldn’t have made a better decision. Russell was incredibly helpful in sorting out exactly what we wanted, without us needing to make any compromises, unlike some companies we enquired with, and was able to arrange an evening taster session beforehand that fitted our calendar. The food from the canapés to the dessert was excellent, and the mains in particular were some of the best we’ve ever tasted. The value for money was excellent, and there was even so much left over that we went away with multiple trays
