About Soup and Spud Company

We are a small business operating from a small converted horse trailer, providing oven-roasted jacket potatoes and fresh soups from local seasonal vegetables. We are customer-focused and strongly support neurodiversity.

Our trailer has a calm, relaxing colour scheme with no bright lights or music. Our menu is simple and easy to understand, bringing warm, home-cooked comfort food to your event.

We prefer smaller events when we can take time with the customer, to make sure they are 100% happy 100% of the time.

Our Story

As a caterer and registered Nurse with ADHD, and a son with Autism, I gave up my healthcare life to follow a dream and build a business for which my son can have a positive future running. My son and I always found events overwhelming as visitors, and food trailers overwhelming, so we never used them. We then decided to create the type of unit that we would happily visit. No noise, no chips, burgers or greasy sandwiches, just good old-fashioned honest comfort food that is healthy, filling and fairly priced. Not reinventing the wheel, but bringing back an old English underrated tradition.

Our Team

I am Al, and I am 51. My passion for food started at an early age, and just after leaving school, I offered my service for free at a local restaurant to learn the essential skills to cook food well. Not as a profession, but an ADHD hyper focus that stayed with me all my life. My son is just 11 years of age, but he is an inspiration. He has Autism and is nonverbal around people. However, he has a passion for cooking at home and has a talent for skilful food preparation and presentation. He helped design and create the Soup and Spud Company, and I gave up full-time healthcare work to bring the dream to reality. Working closely with local chefs, butchers and forestry rangers, as well as local farms to bring together an amazing combination of fresh seasonal foods and a fair price.

Typical Clients

We provide creative soups and jacket potatoes with fresh homemade toppings from seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. As a caterer and a registered UK Nurse, health is paramount, and we provide creative healthy options for corporate events, food festivals, Christmas and winter markets.
