Catering from The Garden Kitchen is an extension of what we do every day at our café in Bewdley: fresh food, made with care, and a straightforward, personal service.
We cater for weddings, business meetings, funeral gatherings, private parties and other events. Sometimes that means preparing a buffet for collection. Sometimes we deliver, set everything out and leave you to enjoy the occasion. For larger or more involved events, we can also provide staff to serve and clear away afterwards.
Based at Bewdley Museum, we work across the Wyre Forest and can also cater in parts of North Worcestershire and South Shropshire by arrangement.
Catering that fits the event
There is no single way to cater an occasion, and we do not try to force every event into the same format.
For meetings and workplace events, our corporate catering and business lunches are designed to be easy to organise and straightforward to serve. Our private party catering works well for birthdays, anniversaries and family gatherings, while our funeral teas are handled with a quieter, practical approach.
For weddings, the focus is usually on canapés and informal reception food rather than formal plated meals. You can read more about our wedding catering and the different ways we can support the day.
We can also provide vegan catering and include vegetarian and vegan choices within mixed menus.
Fresh food, made for sharing
Our buffet catering is built around freshly prepared sandwiches and wraps, homemade savouries and something sweet to finish. Depending on the event, we can also add fruit, cheese and charcuterie, or other simple extras.
For weddings and more celebratory occasions, we can prepare a range of canapés, with meat, fish, vegetarian, vegan and sweet options available. Afternoon tea and grazing-style food can also be discussed if they suit the occasion better.
The point is not to overwhelm you with a long list of menu combinations. Tell us what you are planning, how many people you are feeding and the style of event, and we can suggest a sensible way to cater it.
Collection, delivery and staffed service
Catering can be collected from The Garden Kitchen at Bewdley Museum, Load Street, Bewdley DY12 2AE.
Our standard delivery area covers DY10, DY11, DY12, DY13 and DY14, with delivery starting from £15 and subject to availability. For events further into North Worcestershire or South Shropshire, please speak to us and we will let you know what is practical.
If you need help at the venue, we can also provide staff to set out the food, serve guests and clear away afterwards. Staffing is chargeable and subject to availability.
If you are planning something locally, you can also read more about our catering in Bewdley, Kidderminster and Stourport-on-Severn.
Dietary requirements and allergens
We can cater for a range of dietary requirements and offer vegetarian and vegan choices.
Our kitchen is small and handles flour and other allergens throughout the day, so cross-contamination cannot be completely ruled out. Please tell us about any allergies or intolerances when you enquire, and read our allergen information before ordering.
Tell us what you are planning
Every event is different, so we confirm availability and pricing once we understand the date, guest numbers, venue, menu and the level of service required.
Use the enquiry form below to tell us what you have in mind. We will come back to you with availability, practical suggestions and a quote.
