I cook upmarket dinners for occasions, events and weddings

I get the loveliest feedback from all my customers. I know I am very fortunate and I don’t take this for granted. It’s not an easy job, so on the days that it feels rewarding, I feel like it’s important to shout about it.

Thank you to this most wonderful couple for taking the time and writing such lovely words. And thank you, to all the staff that this would be impossible without.

The summer is coming to an end, and boy am I tired. Tired and thankful.

Please let small businesses know, the next time you have a wonderful experience, that their hard work was a part of that. It means so much 🙏❤️

Yoghurt cake. Clean, cold, summery, and so good with rum cherries 🍒

Exciting news! Supper club season is back! And we’re kicking off with our Supper Club on a farm. This year we’re doing it a few weeks earlier, on Saturday the 19th of September. Before the summer is officially over, to get a better sunset and less chance of rain! 🚜🌾

Chandler and Dunn is the most stunning venue. Views as far as the eye can see, roaring fire pits, cocktails at their very own “Calf and a Half”, and consistently, the best produce.

At all my events without fail, I get asked what my secret is when cooking the meat. And everytime I tell them, it’s Alice Dunn

We’ve got a brand new menu, but have kept the same structure. This time, canapés from 6:30 with a complementary cocktail, gorgeous crab starter at 7:30, their infamous lamb, cooked over coals, and their amazing apples being used in the dessert!

There are also bell tents available for anyone who’d like to camp there afterwards. Get in touch with Chandler and Dunn for more information on this.

Do let me know if you have any questions, and contact me to book your place! Alternative food options available for dietary requirements.

Sunset dinners in the heart of Margate - enjoyed every gorgeous minute of it! In the midst of all these weddings, a very welcome dinner party.

I love to cook, but when I cook for lovely people, I love to cook a whole lot more 🌻

Well I don’t often cook a roast professionally. I did for many years! I find it a tricky thing, roasts. Same goes for breakfasts. Everyone has their own way they like things done. Like their mother did it, like the way it’s ‘supposed’ to be. Some like their gravy thick, some like their roast potatoes extra crispy, some like their carrots boiled, some like topside, some like well done - too many variables and none are strictly wrong (maybe the well done…). I can never make your mum’s roast. I can never make ten guests equally happy as they will always compare it with home, and the feeling that comes with that. So I’m starting on the back foot.

However, this was a roast at The Grange, and I love cooking there, so I said yes, and gave it a good go!

The guests were so gracious and loved it. And a Crème Brûlée for the birthday boy - by special request. On a ‘Sur le Plat’ dish, of course, so you could have the crispy caramel with every single bite. And one extra, for the chefs.

Potato Schiacciata! My goodness it’s good. Had some spare peeled potatoes and tested this recipe out, ahead of my supper club at in a couple of weeks. It’s going to be pretty special - with acorn squash and sage, and lots of Parmiggiano 🧀

Saturday 21st February - book your tickets, I’ll see you there! 🌿

I am very excited to announce that, on Saturday, the 21st of February, I am joining to host a very special Supper Club 🧅

The menu is winter, coming into spring. It balances the warming and hearty, with the freshness spring brings with it. I am so looking forward to cooking it all for you! 🍊

There are only 16 seats available, so don’t hang around if you would like to book! ‘Madre’ will also have a wonderful selection of drinks on offer for the evening 🍷

Get in touch with me directly to reserve a space, and let me know if you have any questions 🍴

Don’t normally jump onto trends, but it was 2016 when I started Jessica Leah Catering. I worked so much in the restaurant world that once I had kids, I could only watch them sleep. I was gone in the morning before they got up, and got home long after they went to bed, everyday. Things needed to change if I wanted to be part of their life at all.

I thought this business would be a stop gap until I figured it all out. Ten years later and there’s no sign of it going anywhere! I have amazing people around me, making it possible and manageable, and I do what I can to make it better as the years go by.

It’s not a usual thing to say, but I don’t want this business to grow any more. I want it to improve, to stay fresh, and to progress. I want it to stay interesting for myself, my amazing workforce, and my lovely customers, but I want it to stick to what it is at its heart.

Thank you all for being a part of it. Here’s to another ten! 💪🫶
