Roots Kitchen Team

Flawless catering, contemporary cuisine, exquisite canapes, and luxurious wedding breakfasts are essential to a superb wedding day. The Roots Kitchen Team always delivers, as an integral part of the Southend Barns experience, incorporating twists, cultural influences and a flair for originality and authenticity into every dish.

We are incredibly proud of the calibre of in-house chefs, catering management and service teams we provide. Our chefs, servers and planners deliver delightful bouquets of flavour and style, always tailored to reflect your wedding or event, drawing on local and international influences to capture those sensations that make a meal worth savouring.

The Roots team works closely with our wedding coordinators to design bespoke menus, including plant-based and vegan or vegetarian, BBQ and seasonal ingredients to ensure your catering is seamlessly delivered with impactful taste and presentation.
