Good food, good atmosphere,
great times
At JP’s Kitchen, we believe every celebration should feel uniquely personal. From private garden parties, milestone anniversaries and wakes, to baby showers, christenings, and other celebrations, we bring the same energy, creativity and care to every event. Whether it’s casual outdoor dining or an elegant indoor culinary experience, we shape our menu and service to suit the celebration, the setting and the people you invite.
Created just for you
We take the time to get to know you, your plans and the preferences of your guests. From planning calls and menu tastings to event-day delivery, everything we do is personal and professional.
We’ve recreated wedding menus for anniversaries, designed uniquely playful sharing platters for family parties, and served hundreds of perfectly crafted canapés at high-profile film wrap parties for a VIP guest list.
Whatever the occasion, we go further to make it truly yours.
Cater to your vision
Made for the moment, whatever the moment calls for
Barbecues in the garden. Three-course dinners in private dining rooms. Afternoon teas for life’s biggest milestones. Whatever your vision, our chefs will create a menu that feels just right – with fresh, seasonal ingredients and more than a little creative flair to bring every plate to life.
So, no matter whether you’re into edible flowers and micro herbs or a Tomahawk steak cooked to perfection, the food we make always looks as good as it tastes.
JP’s Kitchen catered our 90-person corporate event for Superior Group, and they exceeded our expectations in every way. From start to finish, their team handled everything seamlessly. They provided a fantastic spread, from creative cocktails and delicious hors d’oeuvres to an incredible BBQ setup that was a hit with everyone.

Planning your quote
What shapes your party catering quote
We don’t work from set packages, so your quote is built around your celebration. The main things that shape it are:
Guest numbers – from small private dinners to large family parties.
Style of food – a barbecue in the garden, a three-course dinner, an afternoon tea, sharing platters, canapés or a buffet.
Your setting – indoors or outdoors, at home, in a garden or a private dining room, and the facilities available on site in London, Essex or the South East.
Your menu – the dishes and ingredients you choose, plus any dietary requirements among your guests.
Drinks and staffing – whether you’d like us to run the drinks with our bar hire service, and how much service your event needs.
Tell us the date, location, guest numbers and the kind of celebration you have in mind, and we’ll come back with a tailored proposal.

We also took care of all the drinks, from welcome drinks to toasts, so the couple could simply enjoy the day with their guests.
