Event Catering Oxfordshire

Brinkley's is an event catering and vendor management business based in Oxfordshire, working across weddings, corporate events, private celebrations, and festivals. We curate a network of trusted vendors, each running their own set menu, and match the right combination of units to your event, then manage the whole process so you're dealing with one team instead of five.

What we do

We handle catering from planning through to breakdown. That includes sourcing and coordinating vendors, managing setup and logistics on-site, and taking care of the compliance side, allergen labelling, health and safety documentation, and vendor contracts, so nothing falls through the gaps on the day.

Why Oxfordshire businesses and organisers choose Brinkley's‍ ‍

We're based in Oxfordshire, not covering it from a base an hour away. That means we know the venues, the heritage site restrictions, and the local supplier network, including Mark's Cotswold Bakery, Jericho Coffee Traders, Barefoot Bakery, Todenham Manor Farm, Produce Warriors, and producers on the Blenheim Palace estate. Ashton and Grace personally oversee every event, so the people who plan your catering are the same people managing it on-site.

‍Sustainability as standard

All packaging is biodegradable or compostable, our uniforms are made from sustainable materials, and local sourcing is built into how we operate rather than offered as a premium add-on.
