Whitehouse Weddings

Welcome Today the Nation as a whole has a much greater expectation of food and service & it is on

this new found passion and interest that chef4u is developing this approach to our

catering services .

Boutique wedding catering by chef4u Created by Chef Scott Whitehouse, Scott’s passion for great food & customer service encouraged him to start his own catering business, providing high quality restaurant inspired food for private &

social events. With over 15 years of experience within the catering industry Scott continually aims to offer a

friendly & professional service providing only the best in cuisine. We pride ourselves on being able to offer an innovative & individual dining experience

with the simple ethos of consistent quality. Together with the perfect blend of delicious food and creative ideas helps to make us one of the

Midlands new and exciting wedding caterers. Offering an abundance of choice from rustic mezze boards, traditional roasts, Summer picnics and gourmet afternoon teas to informal evening receptions and extravagant 10 course taster menus.

We strive to offer a personal touch together with tasty modern food to make every event extra special, using only the freshest of ingredients that are seasonal & sourced from local suppliers

whenever possible.

All our menus are written with the upmost care and consideration of seasonal availability. However some items may not always be available, if this does occur we will endeavour to substitute

with the closest related ingredients.
