Who's cooking

Michelin trained. Kent based.
Obsessive about detail.

Domu is led by founders Gianluca, who heads the kitchen, and Seyj, who runs the show front of house, a pairing built in London's food scene and brought home to Kent. The team's background spans classic French, British and Italian kitchens along with deep experience cooking for high profile private families.

Every event is treated as critical. Menus are designed around you, cooked fresh on the day, and served by staff who genuinely care that your guests leave talking about the food.

Front of house

Chefs, waiters, bar staff and kitchen porters all come from the same team, so nobody on site is a stranger to the menu. They arrive early, set up without fuss and leave your venue exactly as they found it.

Questions we get asked

How much does catering cost per head?
It depends entirely on the format, the guest numbers and the season, so we do not publish a fixed price. Tell us what you have in mind and we will come back with a clear quote, itemised, with no hidden extras.
Do you do corporate and office catering?
Every week. Boardroom lunches, working lunches and sandwich deliveries, conference catering, product launches, staff parties and client entertaining, across Kent, Essex and South East London.
Do you do buffets, grazing tables and BBQ?
Yes to all three. Cold and hot buffets, grazing tables, charcuterie and cheese displays, seafood bars, dessert tables, and chef led live fire cooking in gardens, marquees and venues.
Do you cater outside of Kent?
Yes. Kent is our base, but we regularly cater events across Essex, London and the wider South East. If your venue is further afield, ask and we'll usually make it work.
Do you provide staff, drinks and crockery?
Yes. We can supply fully trained service staff, bar teams, drinks packages, crockery, glassware and linen, so your event is covered from first pour to final plate.
What if my venue has no kitchen?
Not a problem. We cook regularly in marquees, gardens, barns and venues with no facilities at all, arriving fully self sufficient with everything we need.
