Ren has been a chef since completing his  training in 1995. During his career, he has had the pleasure and experience of working in top restaurants located in London, Brighton, and on his travels around Africa. He set up ren’s kitchen in 2008, with the intention of using his passion and experience to make fantastic catering accessible to anyone, irrespective of size or budget.

​

Since then, he's never looked back! ren's kitchen has expanded and grown every year. The once little café  that did small take away orders has grown into a buzzing café, and formed the heart of the local working community. The catering side of the business has expanded too, with the help of the amazing team that work at ren's! Last year ren's catered over 100 weddings and events, without losing any of their personal touch and attention to detail!

​

ren's kitchen is especially proud of the several charities they work with, including the Chestnut Tree Foundation.
