Jo Lawrence is a talented Chef who works across Scotland and the North of England catering with her experienced team for a variety of events, from weddings in Scottish Castles to high end shooting parties and fabulous private celebrations. She has a fabulous team of amazing chefs who work with her to make every event an epic one.
I have always been passionate about cooking but enjoyed a successful career in the Corporate world. Following redundancy in 2014, I was keen to make changes and wanted to ensure my next career was connected to my passion; food. I started the business that year with a small pop-up supper in a local coffee shop, and  I have been on a very exciting journey ever since. From that first event we started to get bookings from private clients which spread rapidly through word of mouth.
I took my first wedding catering booking in 2014 and in 2019 we catered for 57 wonderful couples on their special day. This culminated in us being nominated for a Scottish VOWS (wedding) award which was a huge honour. 

We do lots of private events across East Lothian and into the Scottish Borders as well as corporate lunches and dinners. I am so proud to have cooked in some wonderful Castles and fabulous homes and have even cooked for a few celebrities along the way.

My business continues to grow and I have an amazing team to support me in doing what I love; cooking for lots of varied and wonderful clients.

Based in East Lothian, we are fortunate to have some of the very finest food and drink suppliers in Scotland on our doorstep. From award winning meats and dairy produce to delicious artisanal cheeses, chutneys, oils and drinks. At Jo’s Kitchen, we pride ourselves on supporting our local community and ensuring that the produce we serve at our events is sourced as locally as possible. Our customers are increasingly interested in the provenance of the produce on their menus and we are proud to be able to offer traceability.
