Aldred's Catering - Relaxed Wedding Catering

Aldred's Story

Aldred’s was founded by Rebecca Aldred in 2018 with a desire to bring artisan cheese from around the world to the local area. Her husband Matthew joined the team in 2019 to move the business from online only to a little shop in the heart of Scarborough.

Matthew brought his passion for baking and wood-fired cooking with him which could be seen in the Eatery menu and Aldred's takeaway which ran throughout the Covid lockdowns. We briefly ran a small bakery under our cheese shop and offered cheese and bakery deliveries in the local area.

Throughout the not-so-fabulous lockdown times, we innovated and adapted to find a niche that suited our style while trying to not go bankrupt, we finally stumbled across event catering in early 2021. We were approached by a cheese shop customer to cater her wedding with a cheese-grazing table and wood-fired pizzas. We loved the atmosphere and the vibrancy and felt truly honoured to be a part of someone's special day, so much so, that we came home and discussed how we could move into wedding and event catering full time, and as they say, the rest is history.

Who we are

Put simply, we are lovers of great food and sharing this passion through creating unique and quirky dishes. All our ingredients are sourced locally and ethically with free range wherever possible.

You'll find that we talk about food A LOT and say the words feast and we love food in most sentences. It's this passion and drive to create great food that makes people happy and creates great memories through shared experience.

Becky is specialised in artisan cheese and brings her expertise, flavour knowledge and a flare for all things quirky to our menu designs. She has been interested in cheese since her late teens when she spent a winter season working in France, there she discovered cheeses that she'd never seen or heard of before. Completely moved and inspired by the vast range within the cheese counters and how passionate the cheesemongers were selling the cheese she did what any rational foodie would do and dedicated her every spare moment in France to cheese.

After returning home she realised she couldn’t buy any of the cheeses she'd seen and no one had heard of them either. In an insane way that only Becky can manage with her bold and bonkers ideas, she decided the best course of action was to attend every cheese-making course and cheese-mongering class and then open a business. Over the eight years it took to attend every class she could find, she discovered multiple cuisines and the ideas kept building along the way.

Aldred's is a micro business run by husband and wife team Matthew and Rebecca Aldred.
