OUR STORY

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

Since then, I’ve never looked back! We’ve expanded and grown every year. Our little café has grown from a tiny take away into a buzzing café, and formed the heart of the local working community. Our catering business has expanded too, with the help of my amazing team! Last year we catered over 100 weddings and events, without losing any of our personal touch and attention to detail!

I’m especially proud of the several charities we work with, including the Chestnut Tree Foundation.

I’d love to speak to you about how we may be able to help with your event.

My background is  in restaurants mainly working front of house. I pride myself in my attention to detail, and listening to each client’s individual mental picture for their event, and then creating it with them.

In my spare time, me and my partner love throwing dinner parties and afternoon teas for friends and family. My French cassoulet is pretty famous among my guests, as are my home made lemon sherbet marshmallows (I know- I’m a bit of a show off!) I planned my own wedding two years ago with a ‘mad hatter’s tea party’ theme. I still smile when I think about it! I can’t quite remember, but I think my partner was there too!
