Spindle Catering brings the craft and creativity of restaurant dining to every event.
Led by Chef Director Lee Bye and the team behind Tuddenham Mill, we deliver tailored menus, flawless service and a calm, professional approach to events of every scale. From intimate dinners and countryside wedding weekends to corporate gatherings and special celebrations.
Our food is rooted in British seasonality, shaped by local produce and refined with a confident, modern approach, from elegant plated dining to immersive over-fire cooking we celebrate flavour at its best.
Our Story
Spindle catering was born from a simple idea, to take the refined, ingredient-led cooking and high-touch customer service outside of the restaurant setting. We combine kitchen expertise with an operational team that knows how to deliver exceptional experiences anywhere from marquees to manor houses and barns.
Based in Suffolk and working across East Anglia and beyond, our team combines creativity in the kitchen with calm precision on the day.
Provenance and Craftsmanship
We are proud to work closely with East Anglia’s farmers, growers, and artisans. From the fields of Suffolk to the coast of Norfolk. Every dish starts with respect for ingredients and a focus on sustainability, seasonality, and craftsmanship.
Our Philosophy
Every event deserves the same care and attention as a fine dining experience. That means thoughtful, seasonal menus prepared with integrity, served with warmth, and executed with absolute professionalism.
We’re committed to:
Local sourcing: partnering with trusted farmers, growers, and producers across East Anglia.
Seasonal creativity: letting the best of the region’s produce shape our menus.
Flawless execution: expert planning, polished service, and a calm, capable team.
