One less thing to worry about on your special day. We offer a cake cutting service.
If you’re planning your own event, a few small details can make a big difference. Chill your cake before cutting for cleaner slices, use a sharp knife, and have plates and napkins ready before guests gather around.

The cake cutting moment is more than dessert, it’s part of the celebration, the photos, the laughter and the memories.

Keep it smooth, stress free and enjoy every moment of it.

Need catering support for your next celebration, corporate event or private gathering? Yates Kitchen is here to help make your event delicious from start to finish.

Feeling so blessed. All the praise goes to the Almighty God. Another review from a customer we catered for on Saturday.

Hazel is a magnificent ambassador of her company. From beginning to end she has been friendly, warm, kind and generous. Her food is to die for! Monique also is following in her mum's footsteps with her gentle, professional, friendly manner. Tony too is lovely. We had a glorious celebration of my late husband's birthday and everyone loved the food. Many will now be chasing this company for bookings. Thank you Yates Kitchen. God bless you.

A really nice review from a long term customer

SERVICE WITH A SMILE

This is service with the brightest smile from Hazel. Our order for 25 included red bream, jerk chicken, mutton curry, sweet potato and chick pea curry, rice and peas (of course) and more. Have ordered from Yates kitchen for many years now and Hazel, in particular, has never let us down. The food is outstandingly delicious and delivered in good time. People still talking about how good the food was days later.

Advice from us to help with your New Year’s Celebration Dinner - menu planning with less headache!

For a New Year’s menu that’s full of flavour, warmth, and ease:

1️⃣ Start with the favourites
Every family has those dishes that must make an appearance, whether it’s perfectly seasoned lamb, honey-glazed gammon, or mac and cheese. Build your menu around the classics, then add one or two new dishes to surprise your guests.

2️⃣ Mix tradition with a twist
Don’t be afraid to bring a bit of personality to your Christmas table. A jerk-spiced turkey or Caribbean-style roast veg can bring a fun, flavourful twist while still keeping that comforting, festive feel.

3️⃣ Balance your menu
Think about your guests’ tastes and dietary needs, from spice levels to vegan or gluten-free options. A thoughtful menu makes everyone feel included (and keeps the compliments flowing all evening!).

4️⃣ Prep ahead where you can
Many dishes can be marinated or cooked in advance. The more you prepare before the big day, the more time you’ll have to relax and enjoy your company, instead of juggling pots and pans.

5️⃣ Presentation makes the moment
Your meal should also be about the experience. Add simple touches – fresh herbs, colourful sides, or festive plating – to make every dish look as good as it tastes.

At Yates Kitchen, we’ve catered for families, businesses, and event hosts to guarantee an unforgettable festive feast - without the stress of having to do it all themselves.

If you don’t want to cook your New Year’s celebration meal this year, Yates Kitchen can prepare you a scrumptious Caribbean and English menu - just send us an email, or view our festive menus online, at www.yateskitchen.co.uk
