About HGFD
Harrogate Food & Drink Co. was founded in 2010 by Andi Aikman — a chef who'd spent years in professional kitchens and on film and TV productions — and has been run alongside Linda ever since.
The idea was simple: take the discipline and creativity of professional catering and apply it to weddings and events in a way that actually puts the food first. No corners cut, no corners hidden. Just genuinely brilliant food, cooked fresh, served with warmth.
Fourteen years later, we've catered hundreds of weddings, events and productions across Yorkshire and beyond. The food is still the starting point for everything we do.
Everything is made from scratch, cooked fresh on the day. We don't do pre-made, pre-packed or reheated. We bring proper ingredients, proper skills and proper passion to every event — whether it's 50 people or 500.
You deal with us directly — never a booking system, never a junior account manager. For weddings and events, Linda leads from first conversation to last plate. For corporate catering, Andi takes the reins. Between us, we've got every occasion covered.
We know exactly where our ingredients come from, because we chose every supplier ourselves. Local butchers, local bakers, local breweries. Yorkshire money staying in Yorkshire — and Yorkshire quality on every plate.
We cater weddings and events right across Yorkshire — and some of the most significant occasions in the UK calendar.
