Our Story

At Cox Catering, we understand that great food is at the heart of every successful event.

Based in Newark-on-Trent, we are an established, independent catering business providing professional catering services throughout Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and the wider East Midlands.

Our services range from freshly prepared corporate lunches, business breakfasts and buffets to elegant wedding breakfasts, formal dining, funeral receptions, BBQs, hog roasts and large-scale outdoor events.

With our own commercial kitchen facilities, professional catering equipment, transport and experienced team, we have the flexibility to cater for everything from intimate private gatherings to events serving hundreds of guests.

We offer a wide variety of catering styles, including traditional British favourites, contemporary menus, hot and cold buffets, canapés, afternoon teas, three-course dining and outdoor cooking.

Every event is different, which is why we work closely with our customers to develop menus that suit their occasion, dietary requirements and budget.

Whether you need a straightforward buffet delivered to your workplace or a complete catered event with chefs, waiting staff and bar service, Cox Catering offers a dependable, professional and personal approach.

Our reputation has been built on quality food, generous portions, attention to detail and the long-standing relationships we enjoy with our customers.

Our Team

Led by proprietor Martyn Cox, our team brings together experienced chefs, catering assistants, front-of-house staff and event personnel.

From the initial enquiry and menu planning through to preparation, delivery and service, we work together to ensure every detail is considered.

Our chefs prepare a wide variety of menus in our commercial kitchens, while our experienced service team can provide everything from buffet setup and delivery to fully staffed dining and bar operations.

We believe friendly, professional service is just as important as the food itself.

We have found a new caterer

I was struggling with finding a company who could deliver a corporate buffet, especially at the last minute. I spoke to Cox Events and they delivered such a good buffet that they are our go to caterer now.
