Welcome to Kitchen 94
Bespoke Event Catering
Hello and a warm welcome to Kitchen 94; a small team dedicated to creating bespoke experiences and delicious food!
Ed and Ed founded Kitchen 94 in Spring 2021. We specialise in bespoke catering tailored to your individual tastes and needs; from private events and weddings, to pop up restaurants, corporate lunches, and everything in between.
Born out of strong friendship, interest and curiosity, Kitchen 94 has always placed food and fun at the heart of our projects.
Currently based just off Broadway market, in the heart of East London, we have some of the finest suppliers that the city has to offer right on our doorstep. We pride ourselves in using the best of the best with no exceptions, and work hard to bring exciting, seasonal food to suit you.
Cooking with fire plays an integral part in Kitchen94. This is another of our shared passions, that evolved from our individual experiences of working in busy grill sections at some of London’s finest restaurants.
Writing bespoke menus for each individual event is of paramount importance; we work with you to develop a menu that meets your preferences and matches your vision for the day. We love constantly creating fresh recipe ideas and food concepts, and doing this with each client is extremely special.
Please don’t hesitate to get in contact with us, we look forward to cooking for you soon!
Thanks,
Ed & Ed

"Hi I’m Ed, one half of the bespoke catering company Kitchen 94. We cater for weddings, events and put on supper clubs ourselves too. The heart of what we do is fire cooking. It has always had a draw to me personally, its the process of lighting and maintaining a fire, the sounds, the pops, the smells and visually the smoke and colours all amalgamating to create essentially a blank canvas. For a chef this is very exciting, every time you light the fire its an opprtunity to let the imagination and the ingenuity take over. To push yourself and the capabilities of the fire with precision and care that ultimately leave you with a uniquely beautiful finished product.
Taking inspiration from chefs such as Lennox Hastie and Francis Mallman and bringing that together with the South American cooking style of Asado whilst channeling local, season ingredients.
Food has always been a huge part of my life, with some of my oldest and fondest memories being made and shared around the dinner table. The coming together of friends and families from generations and breaking bread around the table brings comfort and unity. Eating and sharing food is a universal language that we all speak no matter who we are or where we’re from."
Ed trained at Ballymaloe cookery school. Furthering his skills in some of Londons busiest and well known restaurants over a seven year period such as Kricket, Padella and most recently at Trullo where he was a sous chef. He left the hustle and bustle of nightly services to work closer with clients one on one and to enjoy the creative control that running bespoke events gives us from writing individually tailored menus right down to fine details such as crockery and glassware.

“Cooking is full of colour, texture, smells and tastes, it is the backbone to family life. Cooking fulfils us, food nourishes us, different cultures inspire us and ingredients connect us with the Earth. I have always loved working with my hands, it’s the way I learn and the way I get to understand the nature of something.”
Ed trained as a furniture designer in Oxford, when he arrived in London he realised he couldn’t sit at a desk all day. Ditching the office for some crocs and a kitchen knife he worked his way through various restaurants gaining valuable experience before settling in a job at Ottolenghi, where he spent two years. Being part of one of the food industries most influential voices, gave him the confidence and insight to set up kitchen 94 with Ed W-C.
