family means everything to us
With everything that goes on at a huge event, we know we’re able to keep smiling and give you the best service, because we’re a solid family through and through. We love to share our passion for good food, great drinks and the best banter, so that your event is next level.
Daniel and Heather set up The Outside Kitchen & Bar back in 2009, after 10 years working in the fashion industry, as the business grew, jamie and Elkie joined the ranks making us the 7th best catering company in yorkshire 😜
“We have kept our love for bespoke service and now create individual events, unique to the client. We love to mix different styles and cultures into our menus, fusing together my wife's Colombian heritage, the places we love to travel to and of course our British roots..

Dan, S (Head Chef) joined us recently from a busy restaurant in Leeds he brings the experiences and knowledge from his time working in 2* Michelin star restaurant. Unbelievable in the kitchen, absolutely dreadful when it comes to driving the van
