Based in a small village near Biggleswade, my love for food and entertaining has been a lifelong passion. After nearly 20 years as an Equine Lecturer, I decided to follow another passion — creating delicious, seasonal dishes that bring people together. Inspired by my mum, who was a talented and passionate cook, I take pride in crafting menus that showcase the best local, ethical, and seasonal ingredients. With a thriving vegetable garden as my source of inspiration, I am dedicated to designing bespoke menus tailored to each client’s needs. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a large celebration, I ensure every dish has the wow factor.
Our commitment to Ethical and Sustainable Sourcing
Simply Kate is dedicated to using high-quality, responsibly sourced ingredients:
Each menu includes a guide price, but we’re happy to tailor everything to your specific needs. Whether you require a fully vegan or organic menu, or have other dietary or event related preferences, we’ll work with you to create the perfect spread. All services can be delivered using either ceramic or china serving dishes or eco-friendly compostable options. If you’d like a full service, including staff to serve and clear up, this can also be arranged. Please contact Kate for a bespoke quote tailored to your event.
I just wanted to say a big ‘thank you’ for providing the buffet for my party. It was absolutely wonderful and of all the positive compliments coming in about the evening your buffet is top of the list! There was around a 100 people and everyone is waxing lyrical about the food, so well done. I’d highly recommend you any time.
Simply Kate did food for my retreat and WOW what a treat! The guests raved about all the food and were delighted by every dish. Kate puts so much though into every aspect from exquisite flavours to beautiful presentation. Everyone loved it so muc that not only did I immediately book her for the following year but the retreat venue asked her to go on to their list of recommended caterers!

Our handmade, freshly prepared canapes are perfect for any event, with a minimum party size of 10 guests.
We offer a wide variety of canapes to choose from, including plenty of delicious meat-free options to suit all tastes.
All canapes are assembled fresh on the day, with essential last-minute finishing touches to ensure they’re served at their best – crisp, vibrant, and never soggy! To do this we’ll need access to a preparation area at your venue or dedicated room.
A small selection of canapes can be prepared in advance and made available for collection or local delivery.
