Our story

Proper Kitchen embraces seasonality, sustainability and fresh produce to deliver a proper good plate of food. They aim to support small family like businesses and source ingredients locally, being conscious of food miles.

Where it started

James and Nic are local lads who have spent most of their lives living and working in the area. Proper Kitchen was born out of their 20-year friendship and extensive experience in hospitality. When the pandemic hit and they found themselves furloughed, they saw an opportunity to do something different.

Since then, the Proper Kitchen team has catered countless events, delivering delicious, creative dishes, and plenty of good vibes and laughs. In June 2023, they opened their kitchen at Loddon Brewery, using an open wood fire to craft flavourful meals that showcase their passion for food. Whether you’re planning an event and need top-notch catering or want to book a table at Loddon Brewery to enjoy a meal, get in touch – we’d love to serve you some proper good food!
