Food that makes your day unforgettable — bespoke wedding and event catering across Yorkshire, fresh, locally sourced and chef-led. Every menu made for you, every time.
As trusted Harrogate caterers, we've been making Yorkshire weddings and events extraordinary since 2010. Fresh food, local suppliers, a team that genuinely cares — and menus built around you, not the other way round.
We're not a faceless catering company. For weddings, you deal with Linda directly. For corporate events, Andi leads the way. Either way, it's personal — from first enquiry to the last plate, with menus built from scratch and ingredients sourced with care.
We work with the best local suppliers in Yorkshire — butchers, bakers, breweries and gin distilleries who share our belief that local is always better.
About HGFD"The food was absolutely extraordinary. Our guests are still talking about it — from the canapés on arrival through to the desserts. Nothing was too much trouble."Sarah & James — Wharfedale Grange, North Yorkshire
Our meat comes from R&J Butchers in Kirkby Malzeard. Our chicken from Nidderdale Poultry in Brimham. Our bread from Thomas the Baker and Balterszens in Harrogate. Our beer from Roosters Brewery. Our gin from Slingsby.
When you book HGFD, you're not just booking a caterer — you're putting money straight into the local Yorkshire economy, and serving your guests something that could only come from here.
Our Suppliers"We used HGFD for our wedding and the food was absolutely wonderful — the best food my wife and I have ever had at a wedding. All our guests were beyond complimentary on taste, portions and service. I could not recommend Linda and the team any more."Oliver JamesWedding · Verified Google review

Every supplier we use has been chosen for quality, provenance and the simple fact that local is better.
Based in Ripon, we travel to weddings and events across all of Yorkshire. Every venue is within easy reach — and the food always arrives fresh.
Can't see your town? Get in touch — we travel wherever the wedding is.
Our published wedding main courses run from £35 to £49.50 per person plus VAT, from Cumberland sausage and mash up to fillet of Yorkshire beef en croûte or lobster thermidor. What you actually pay depends on the number of courses, canapés, evening food and staffing, so we always build a fixed written quote around your day rather than quoting a headline per-head figure.
We are based just outside Harrogate in Ripon and cater across North and West Yorkshire — Harrogate, Knaresborough, Ripon, Wetherby, York, Ilkley, Skipton, Leeds, Bradford, Thirsk, Northallerton, Richmond and Helmsley. If your venue is further afield, ask us; we travel for the right event.
Peak-season Saturdays between May and September are usually taken 12 to 18 months ahead. Midweek dates, winter weddings and corporate events can often be arranged at much shorter notice, so it is always worth asking even if your date is close.
We are a mobile caterer, so we come to you. We work regularly in barns, marquees, manor houses and estates across the Harrogate area and hold the public liability cover and risk assessments most venues ask for. If we have not worked at your venue before, we will arrange a site visit.
Yes. Every menu is written from scratch, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and allergen-specific dishes are built in rather than bolted on. We take dietary requirements with your final numbers and label everything clearly on the day.
Yes — we hold a 5-star Food Hygiene Rating and £10m public liability insurance, and we can send both certificates straight to your venue. Harrogate Food & Drink Co. is a trading name of Primrose Weddings & Events Ltd, company number 14906420.
For weddings you deal with Linda directly, from first enquiry to the last plate. For corporate and private events, Andi leads. You will not be passed around an account-management team.
Tell us about your day and we'll put together a bespoke menu and proposal. No pressure, no obligation — just a conversation about great food.
