Wedding Catering in Plymouth & West Devon
Two very different landscapes on one page: the waterfront city, and the country halls and moorland edge out through the Tamar Valley to Tavistock.
A city wedding and a country one, half an hour apart
Plymouth is the only part of our patch that asks us for two entirely different days. One weekend it's the Royal William Yard — Grade I warehouses, water on three sides, a load-in slot measured in minutes. The next it's a barn or a country hall out past Tavistock with the moor behind it and no mains power for a mile. Both are Plymouth weddings, and we cater both.
The city venues are historic and unforgiving: listed buildings with no commercial kitchen, restrictions on open flame, and access that has to be agreed rather than assumed. Out in West Devon and the Tamar Valley the problem inverts — space is not the issue, infrastructure is, and you plan for generators, water and weather. Either way we turn up fully self-contained and 95% locally sourced, straight down the A38 from our kitchen in Bradninch.
What we cook here leans towards sharing feasts and grazing tables — formats that suit a long warehouse table as readily as a marquee — with wood-fired pizza and BBQ for the outdoor half of the day and vegan and vegetarian menus built properly rather than bolted on. Chef Dave Corker has been cooking in Devon for twenty-five years; very little about a difficult site is new to him.
Parties, celebrations and corporate catering in Plymouth
Beyond weddings, we cater private and family celebrations from 30 guests upwards across Plymouth and West Devon — landmark birthdays, anniversaries, christenings, wakes — and corporate catering in the city, from product launches and conference lunches to staff summer parties. The kitchen, the team and the sourcing are identical; only the shape of the day changes.

Wedding catering in Plymouth — your questions
- Do you cover Tavistock and the Tamar Valley as well as Plymouth itself?
- Yes — we treat them as one patch. Plymouth's wedding venues run from the waterfront right out through the Tamar Valley to Tavistock and the western edge of Dartmoor, and we cater across the whole of it. Coming down the A38 from our kitchen in Bradninch, the city and the country venues are much the same journey for us.
- Our venue is a listed building with no kitchen. Is that a problem?
- Not at all — it's most of what we do around Plymouth. Historic warehouses, town halls and dockyard buildings rarely have a working commercial kitchen, and many have restrictions on what you can plug in or set alight. We arrive fully self-contained with our own equipment and team, and we'll agree the setup with the venue in advance so nothing is a surprise on the day.
- Do you know the Royal William Yard?
- We do, and it's one of the more rewarding places to cook in the South West — those Grade I buildings and the water right there. Like most of the Yard's spaces it needs planning around access, load-in timings and where the kitchen can physically sit. Tell us which venue within the Yard you're looking at and we'll talk through the practicalities honestly.
- Can you cater an outdoor or marquee wedding on the edge of Dartmoor?
- Yes. Marquees, barns and open fields out towards Tavistock and the moor are firmly in range. Those sites usually mean no mains power and no water on tap, so we plan for generators, water and the weather rather than hoping. It's the part of the job guests never see and the part that decides whether the day runs smoothly.
- Do you cater family celebrations and corporate events in Plymouth?
- We do. Alongside weddings we cater private and family gatherings from 30 guests upwards — big birthdays, anniversaries, christenings — and corporate catering across the city, from launches and conference days to staff parties. Same kitchen, same team, same locally sourced menus.
