What KK Catering does

KK Catering is a UK-based mobile catering company founded in 2005 by Kevin and Kimberley Anderton, operating as KK Catering LTD. The company provides self-contained mobile food vans that require only a standard 13-amp mains electricity connection and a parking space, enabling service at venues without kitchen facilities. Its fleet spans 15+ cuisine types including fish & chips, burgers, pizza, BBQ, Indian street food, Mexican, German bratwurst, pie & mash, baked potatoes, dirty fries, crepes, and Greek options, serving weddings, corporate events, private parties, construction sites, and film/TV productions across the UK.

The company's business model is transactional event catering hire with quote-based pricing determined by guest count, date, location, and menu selection. Pricing is positioned at £10-£18 per head for street food options, materially undercutting traditional sit-down catering at £80-£120 per head. Customers request quotes and book through the company's website, supported by SEO-driven content marketing and a 4.8-star Google rating across 300+ reviews. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer through the website, supplemented by marquee enterprise clients including Amazon, IKEA, DPD, DHL, Hilton Hotels, Marriott, BMW, and Land Rover for corporate event work.

KK Catering holds the highest Food Standards Agency award for food safety and operates a nationwide network executing 1,000+ events per year. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investment, no subsidiaries, no acquisitions, and no M&A activity. Its customer segments are horizontally distributed across weddings (primary), corporate events (primary), private parties, construction sites, and film productions, with the wedding and corporate verticals carrying the highest revenue emphasis.
