FAQS

Can you do vegetarian and/or vegan menus

Here at Kemp and Kemp, we have made quite a name for ourselves when it comes to catering for veggie and vegan weddings. All to do with Karen’s passion for flavour, texture and colour – something which isn’t often prevalent in the ‘veggie option’ offered out by most caterers. Our couples love our veggie and vegan menus so much in fact, we are officially finalists in the V² Friendly Caterer of the Year category at The 1st Vegetarian & Vegan Awards 2020!

Do you cater for Winter Weddings?

Yes and we love to! One of the most exciting things about winter weddings (apart from the excitement of not needing to fret about the weather!) is all the delicious, hearty food you can serve & all the glorious possibilities that the new season’s ingredients can offer. Get thee gone summery salads, raspberry roulades, lemon tarts, welcome hearty braises, warming casseroles, rib sticking puds! It may be cold outside but warm your guests from the inside.

Whats the popular trend for wedding catering this year (2024)?

Couples still want to be massively sociable and less formal so sharing feasts, be it mezze, tapas, antipasti, or a combination continue to be hugely popular which we love as it means we can get really creative, and we simply love seeing loaded sharing boards being delivered to the delighted guests.

What food do you recommend we serve at our Winter Wedding?

We like to think that in winter it’s only polite to indulge. We all want to sit down to a hearty meal and warm up, not stand around picking at small, cold portions of underwhelming food. When you’re planning a winter wonderland wedding you simply can’t ignore the prospect of treating your guests to a classic, quintessentially British roast dinner (with all the trimmings, of course), especially if you’re going festive with your theme! But if you aren’t a fan of the standard ‘meat and veggies’ set menu, we have the answer. Whether you’re serving up in a tipi in a frosty field or hunkering down in a converted barn, our rustic sharing feasts always go down an absolute storm. There’s nothing more joyful than watching your loved ones come together over delicious sharing boards, passing around bowls overflowing with scrumptious sides, delegating an official representative from each table to ceremoniously carve the meat. And the best part? Your sharing menu can be entirely tailored to you to truly create the winter feast of your dreams.

What is your most popular wedding food?

Our 'flattened chicken' has to be the most popular main dish we serve, its super tasty, super impactful and suits everyone's palate. We have been serving it for years with great success.

Can you cope with dietaries like gluten-free

No problem whatsoever.. we adapt all dishes, serve without a fuss or you can even opt for a total GF wedding..

Can I eat anything I like?

Pretty much 'yes' - we don't have set menus (just oodles of great suggestions), but we LOVE to push the boat out and research new and exciting ideas - so bring it on.. just ask us and if we can scale it up for 100 people successfully, we'll do it.

Testimonials

Kemp & Kemp were fantastic and couldn't recommend them highly enough! A delight to work with all through the planning stage and a very useful source of knowledge when it came to anything wedding food-related, their experience was invaluable. The staff they provided for service were all so lovely and helpful and then the food - wow! We were so impressed that they were able to feed almost 150 people a hot, tasty, well-presented meal in a tent, in the pouring down rain! All the guests were complimenting us on the food - hot, scrummy and tons of it! We said we wouldn't compromise on the food and were really glad we didn't - wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone!

Just a small note to say a huge thank you to you & your team for providing us with the most fantastic service and absolutely delicious food for our Wedding last Saturday in London. Everything went perfectly and so many people have been saying just how fantastic the food was and that they normally don't enjoy the wedding food at weddings!! It really is outstanding. It was fantastic and the team did so so well considering how very hot it was! Thanks again, would highly recommend you to anyone who was considering your services for their wedding.
