Kitchen of Kent Reviews
Russell and his team delivered a wonderful afternoon tea, followed by a seated wedding dinner for our daughter’s beautiful May wedding.
Guests commented, at the time and since, how very tasty and well presented the food was. From scones, to English lamb and fresh fish Russell’s food was perfectly cooked. This was remarkable given our large number of guests and only a catering tent kitchen.
Russell was adaptable, easy to work with, listened and is a genuinely nice person. All his staff were friendly, helpful and professional with everyone going out of their way to make sure the day went well. We would highly recommend Kitchen of Kent.
Hi Russell,
Thank you for providing the catering for the event!
It was really fantastic, fresh and varied; exactly what we needed to cater for the global tastes we had attending the event. I ate far more of that chicken pesto than I should have, it was delish.
As to working together again; we always need caterers, and if the quality of food at Maidstone is anything to go by you would be a welcome addition to the crew!
I hope you’re well. Ray and I just wanted to send a quick email to say thank you so much for your wonderful food at the wedding last week. You and your team really helped make the day as beautiful as it was and we are truly, truly grateful…

I just wanted to thank you and all your team for a superb evening. The effort you went to for us was outstanding. Everyone said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding.
We just wanted to drop you a quick note, as we are away on our honeymoon, to say thank you so much for the most incredible evening on Saturday.
The food was incredible everyone loved the burgers, and said it was the best wedding food they have had!!
The team was brilliant, especially in the tricky conditions, two venues and lack of space! Again we had lots of comments on how professional, friendly and hard working the team was!
Thank you so much we could not have asked for a better wedding!
Your staff were fantastic.
Hi Russell
Thanks so much for the catering yesterday.
You and your team were amazing. We had so many compliments about the food, lots of people said it was the best wedding food they’d ever eaten!
We had a wonderful day. thanks for being so easy to work with – you made our lives much easier in the runup to the wedding
All the best
We just want to say a huge thank you for all of your efforts yesterday – the food was amazing and everyone commented how delicious it was. The lasagne was polished off despite the copious amounts of other food you laid on too!
All of your staff were an absolute credit and couldn’t have done more to look after us and our guests. We had the best day and it went by so quickly but we couldn’t have wished for more.
Thank you so much again and please pass on our thanks to everyone else too on your team.
We wanted to thank you for making our wedding on 23 September at the Lost Village of Dode a truly special event with your delicious food!
The menu was perfect for Dode and the meat (pork and beef) was superb. The sides, too, were delicious and our guests – all seven nationalities – all commented on the quality and taste of both the hors d’oeuvre and the mains, even if some of them eyed the “bread flying saucers” (as they called the Yorkshire puddings) a bit suspiciously at first!
Your team and you were extremely professional and helpful and yet it felt like the intimate family affair we’d envisioned.
Thanks a million from Vanessa and Alfonso!
“We had a front of house coordinator which gave me the ease on the day that anything would be sorted.
They were organised and all the servers were friendly. The food was an extremely high standard and everyone raved about how delicious it was. We had a lamb roast, which was cooked perfectly. They went above and beyond and was far more than just food. One thing I did do right for the wedding.”
Thanks again

The front of house staff really are a credit to you and we would have no hesitation at all in booking your services again if ever we have an event large enough.”
Thanks again and best wishes.”
Hi Russell,
…I just wanted to email you to say a huge thank you for creating some of the best food I have ever eaten!
It was a pleasure to work with you and you made the whole process easy. The menu choices were fantastic and a variety of choices. You met all our guests needs especially the vegans!! We have had some amazing reviews from our guests about the food! It really was delicious and perfect for our wedding!
The whole day ran smoothly and the food came out at the correct times.
All of the staff were very efficient and accommodating. The bar staff were great! Would definitely recommend.
You and your food was amazing and made our wedding! Thank you so much!

All the food was fantastic, we were gutted we couldn’t have personally eaten loads more than we had chance to! You were patient with us in the lead up while we faffed around with seating plans, numbers and payment etc.. And on the day, all the staff were great, you all adapted to the adverse weather conditions and kept up with us changing our minds about the timing of the speeches because we were running late.. we were really happy with everything and will certainly be recommending you guys to all our Kent based friends. And of course, massive hats off to you for surviving what must no doubt have been one of the least enjoyable BBQ sessions ever.. haha!
After a lot of research and shopping around we approached 4 or 5 different Kent based caterers and went through quotes with them initially over the telephone.
Out of the caterers we approached Sarah and Russell were hands down the most professional, despite their business being relatively young. They were also the one of two that invited us in to meet face to face to discuss our needs etc with no obligation to use them.
We attended the meeting and they offered exceptional advice and were meticulous in their detailed planning and knowledge of the wedding scene (which was obviously very new to us). At this stage we still had not received the calculated quote but as promised it followed soon after our meeting. We were amazed to see how competitive they were compared to the other caterers. Their quote was not only lower than the majority, but detailed every single expense to us inclusive of VAT. From cutlery through to the different glasses for toasting. Everything had been accounted for.
We decided to go with KOK and they absolutely over delivered in every possible way. Our wedding day was seamless and their staff were not only immaculately presented, but were polite and proactive in their approach, catering for our every need. The food was delicious. We went with the Hot Fork Buffet and it was a hit with everyone at the wedding.
I have been to a lot of weddings and I don’t believe I am being bias as it was my own, but it was in my opinion the best wedding breakfast I have ever had!
I would have absolutely no reservations in recommending Russell and team and would be happy to be contacted if anyone wants further information on them from a customer perspective.
James & GráinneThanks you for all your help.
