Learn about us, how we came about and meet the friendly, passionate and experienced Wedding Gourmet Team.
about us
Our journey began back in 2011 when founder Josh Castle-Doughty started the first Gourmet group of companies, The Home Gourmet, with a view to providing professional dinner parties for friends and family. This concept quickly grew into a viable business, and now The Wedding Gourmet joins the group specialising in creating amazing, bespoke weddings on our clients’ special days.
Meet some of our amazing Wedding Gourmet team, assembled over the years all with unique and invaluable experience in catering, events and hospitality.
Meet the team
Josh Castle-Doughty
Founder & Director
Josh’s passion for cooking came from a young age; growing up learning to cook with Delia, and refining his skills in his teens with Jamie. Josh started The Wedding Gourmet as an alternative to the unremarkable and mainstream wedding catering on offer throughout London. Passionate about food, Josh loves overseeing (and taste testing) every morsel of food that leaves the kitchens.

She’s in charge of front of house management, event planning and the creative touches that make your unique event and catering so very special. Able to source absolutely anything and with a meticulous attention to detail, Chloe is constantly redefining the way we think about things. Expect to find Chloe personally dealing with your event enquiries.
