About Us

The Founder
With over 30 years of experience across hotels, pubs and professional kitchens, Joe learned his craft from the ground up. His philosophy is simple: never ask anyone to do a job you haven't done a hundred times yourself.
Joe found his passion for food from a very young age when spending a lot of time with his grandparents in school holidays travelling around France and also on his allotment. His grandad was a chef in the army so his love for food was infectious. Even though he never went to catering college he learnt from watching and being guided by some amazing chefs he worked with that took him under their wing — and tasting new things whenever he could! Something you can't learn from a book.
When planning his own wedding, Joe discovered that existing caterers lacked the personal touch he believed every couple deserved. That gap inspired him to launch Keeley's Kitchen in December 2011 — creating the bespoke catering experience he couldn't find elsewhere.
Since then, the company has grown year on year, earning finalist recognition in wedding catering awards for three consecutive years.
Our Philosophy
We are passionate about the food we serve and use the best quality seasonal ingredients. Wherever possible we use local suppliers and producers, and all our food is cooked from fresh raw ingredients.
We will work with you to write a menu to suit your tastes and the event. Whether it's incorporating your grandmother's favourite recipe or creating something entirely new, every dish tells your story.
The Team
We believe in building a team, not hiring temps. Our experienced, long-term staff know exactly what it takes to deliver exceptional service at every event.
The team operates as an extended family — professional in matching uniforms, trained to deliver with enthusiasm, and genuinely invested in making your celebration memorable.
Ingredients
We source locally wherever possible, working with trusted suppliers across Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire. Every ingredient is chosen for quality, freshness and flavour.
From seasonal British produce to carefully selected speciality items, the quality of our ingredients is the foundation of everything we create.
