Our Story

Meet Jenni
Operations Manager


Jenni joined the team here at Curious Kitchen back in 2021. After a brief stint away from work to have her baby boy she began helping out the family business and has been a valuable asset ever since. Her background in HR, events and project management have brought countless positives towards ensuring we continue to improve our services.

Jenni Says "I love working alongside Ben to ensure our client's events go off without a hitch and knowing we've added that extra special touch with the food we serve is so rewarding. 

Meet Ben
Head Chef & Owner 

Ben brought Curious Kitchen to life after working for 15 years in the industry. Having worked across London's dining scene with some amazing chefs, Ben developed his own style and wanted to pursue creating elegant, yet bold British & seasonal flavours for his own business.

Ben says "To me, cooking for someone is a very personal and intimate experience. I want our customers to feel relaxed and enjoy every part of there event. We're not only there to provide high quality food packed with flavour but to look after our guests and treat them like family."
