Exceptional Catering, Inspired by Experience
At Salt & Slate, we specialise in crafting unforgettable culinary experiences — bringing over a decade of expertise to weddings, parties, corporate events, and celebrations across Bromley, South East London, and Kent.
We’re a small, family-run catering company with a big passion for food. Every dish we create is made with care, creativity, and the belief that great food has the power to bring people together. From elegant canapés to relaxed BBQs and indulgent buffets, our focus is always on quality ingredients, beautiful presentation, and flavours that make people smile.
For us, catering isn’t just about food — it’s about creating experiences that feel personal, thoughtful, and full of flavour. Whether it’s a wedding, family gathering, or business event, we’re here to make it memorable from the very first bite.

Head Chef – Oliver Fox
At the heart of Salt and Slate’s passion for flavour is Oliver Fox, our highly accomplished Head Chef. With an exceptional career spanning the country’s most prestigious kitchens, Oliver brings creativity, precision, and flair to every plate.
At the age of 5 you could find Oliver baking in the kitchen at home, his first achievement being Bath Oliver Biscuits! From Claridge’s and Chapter One to the House of Commons and House of Lords, Oliver’s background reflects a lifelong dedication to culinary excellence. His expertise extends beyond fine dining — he has also played a key role in product development for Airlines First Class, crafting menus that showcase the best of British ingredients at 35,000 feet.
As a Private Chef, Oliver has designed and delivered unforgettable dining experiences for a host of high-profile clients, including Prime Ministers, as well as at Buckingham Palace and Clarence House. His ability to create bespoke, elegant menus for intimate dinners and grand events alike is what makes Salt and Slate’s food so distinctive.
Oliver has also been deeply involved in culinary education and innovation. He worked closely with Rosemary Shrager to help establish her Cooking School in Tunbridge Wells, and has lectured alongside the Roux Brothers, sharing his expertise with the next generation of chefs. His passion for the craft has also taken him to industry exhibitions and demonstrations, to inspire professionals and food lovers alike.
Today, as Head Chef at Salt and Slate Catering, Oliver leads a talented team specialising in events catering, private dining, and bespoke corporate functions across London and the Southeast. His philosophy is simple yet powerful — to combine technique and creativity with genuine passion.
