Catering Cotswolds
Event Catering
Cotswolds
Distinctive, properly executed catering for events across the Cotswolds and Gloucestershire. Bespoke menus, fully staffed, fully self-sufficient. Built around your event — not the other way around.
Our Cotswolds roots
Not passing through. From here.
Scott, Castaway Kitchen's founder, grew up in Chipping Campden and went to school there. The Cotswolds isn't a market — it's home.
We've traded at one of the UK's best-loved festivals, right in the heart of Cheltenham. We know the area's event circuit intimately.
We've served at Sandford Parks Lido — a Cheltenham institution. Local venues, local crowds, local knowledge.
Years of trading at UK festivals — Lakefest, 2000 Trees and more. We bring that experience and efficiency to every private event.
Why Castaway Kitchen
Cotswolds born. Genuinely local. Completely adaptable.
Scott, who founded Castaway Kitchen, grew up in Chipping Campden and went to school there. The Cotswolds isn't a territory we've decided to target — it's home. That means we understand the venues, the clientele and the standard expected at events in this area.
We've traded at Cheltenham Jazz Festival, worked at Sandford Lido, and catered events across Gloucestershire long before this website existed. We're not parachuting in from elsewhere and hoping for the best.
Our menus are built around bold, fresh cooking — Mediterranean, Korean and beyond — but we're not rigidly attached to a single cuisine. For the right event we'll work with you to build something that fits your guests, your venue and your brief. Bespoke is not a word we use lightly.
Discuss Your EventFestival-trained. We serve efficiently even at scale — no long waits at your event.
Fully self-sufficient — no on-site kitchen needed. Private estates, barns, marquees, fields.
Vegetarian, vegan and allergen-aware options across all menus. Nobody left out.
We handle everything — setup, service, clearing. You focus on your guests.
Events we cater
Every occasion in the Cotswolds
🎉 Private Parties
Birthdays, anniversaries, garden parties, summer celebrations. We turn up, feed people well, and leave you free to actually enjoy your own event.
💍 Wedding Receptions
Evening food or full reception catering. Festival-style at a Cotswolds barn hits differently — guests love it. We fit around your venue and timeline.
💼 Corporate Events
Away days, team lunches, client entertaining. Proper food makes a difference to how people feel about the day. We make the catering a highlight, not an afterthought.
🏡 Marquee & Estate Events
No kitchen? No problem. We're entirely self-sufficient. Private estates and marquee events across the Cotswolds are our territory.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Where exactly in the Cotswolds do you cover?
We cover the full Cotswolds area — Cheltenham, Cirencester, Bourton-on-the-Water, Chipping Campden, Stow-on-the-Wold, Moreton-in-Marsh, Burford, Tetbury, Stroud and everywhere in between. We're based in Moreton-in-Marsh so we know this area well.
What type of events do you cater for in the Cotswolds?
Private parties, birthday celebrations, anniversary dinners, wedding evening receptions, corporate away days, garden parties and marquee events. If you're feeding a crowd in the Cotswolds and want something different from the standard buffet, we're the call to make.
How many guests can you cater for?
We comfortably cater from 30 guests up to several hundred. With two fully equipped units we can run larger events without compromising on speed or quality. Tell us your guest numbers and we'll advise on the right setup.
Do you work with Cotswolds venues and barns?
Yes — we're fully self-sufficient with our own power and equipment, so we can operate at barn venues, private estates, marquees and open fields without needing an on-site kitchen. We've catered at venues across the Cotswolds and understand what the area's event spaces need.
What makes Castaway Kitchen different from other Cotswolds caterers?
Most catering in the Cotswolds is traditional — hog roasts, paella, buffets. We bring something genuinely different: Greek gyros, Korean bowls and poke, cooked live in front of your guests. But the bigger difference is that Scott, our founder, grew up in Chipping Campden and went to school there. We've traded at Cheltenham Jazz Festival, worked at Sandford Lido in Cheltenham, and have genuine roots in the area going back years. We're not a national company targeting the Cotswolds as a postcode. This is home ground.
Can you do a bespoke menu for our event?
Absolutely. We can run one cuisine or combine them — Greek alongside Korean, or poke as a lighter option alongside gyros. We'll work with you on dietary requirements, portion sizes and service style to fit your event.
How far in advance should we book?
For summer events in the Cotswolds — particularly June through September — we'd recommend getting in touch at least three months ahead. We book up quickly during festival season. Winter and early spring events often have more flexibility. Drop us a message and we'll check availability.
What's included in your catering package?
Everything. We bring our own equipment, staff, serving setup and clear away at the end. You don't need to worry about hiring additional equipment or coordinating with multiple suppliers. One call, fully sorted.
Do you cater for dietary requirements?
Yes — vegetarian, vegan and gluten-aware options are available across all three menus. We take allergen queries seriously. Please let us know your guests' requirements when you enquire and we'll make sure nobody misses out.
