About Us


Ian King has had a long career in catering and is passionate about food. He strives to use local produce wherever possible.

In 2008 he made time to visit over 300 local small producers, farmers and cheese makers in the Yorkshire Area.

During these visits he found some interesting produce and has incorporated these finds in to our menus.

It is also our policy to avoid using genetically modified foods as far as we are able.

Testimonials

“From the first time you came round to discuss the day with us to the wedding itself, we’ve been so pleased it was your company we chose.”

“We would absolutely recommend King’s Catering after they did the food for our wedding in June. Everyone was so complimentary of the food, both in quantity and quality, and we thoroughly enjoyed it all. We know there were a couple of issues that were handled without us needing to be made aware, which contributed hugely to the smooth running of the day. Everyone who worked on our wedding was great and we were made to feel truly special by the whole team!”

— Jessica Rogers

“I mean where do we start…. Ian did the food for our wedding on 11th June 2022 for 70+ people in a marquee set in a Walled Garden just outside of Ripon. From start to finish Ian & Patsy were just amazing and made the whole process so easy. But to top it all off, the food was hands down the best we’d ever had!!!”
