Chef Up North spread their wings. Fancy a free ride?

For six years I held office (similar in many ways to a grumpy politician I was told by my haters) with an event hire business I started called Northern Hospitality. I loved it to the point of it consuming my every working hour for a few of those six years so my decision to step back in [...]

Chef Up North think all kitchens need a mirror…

They say blog posts are meant to be informative. I apologise now as this post probably isn’t as it’s bore from frustration, seasoned with anger and topped with a crust of why don’t you just f*** off. I’m a caterer. I’ve been in the industry since I left school. I’ve not done anything else. At first this [...]

Chef Up North are keeping your summer cool

The fridge trailers I bought have genuinely surprised me with their popularity so against the advice of Dragons Den type folk (there’s always loads of people out there who ‘know whats best’) I’ve decided to remove them from the public domain and only hire within the industry. This way I guarantee their condition hire after hire, I don’t have fools tampering [...]

Chef Up North don’t have all the answers…

…as if we did we’d have bought a small island somewhere warm, turned it into the perfect self sufficient utopia with no runway or jetty and trespassers without golden tickets would be shot. But we don’t. So here’s a brief summary of April’s stupid questions that are absolutely real and genuine. We simply didn’t have (and didn’t bother [...]

Chef Up North just says no, or was it yes? who knows…

OK, I like it – no knives to under 18s. Stops everyone under the age going out and doing bad things with blades. I agree. Knife crime is heinous and the full force of the majestic legal system of GB should swiftly be brought on top of anyone that thinks wandering around with a butchers knife is cool. [...]

Chef Up North remind you to respect the steel…

Easy does it, stop trying to look like Ramsey. Take your time, love the blade and it will love you back. It’s an art, a skill – it’s not an excuse to look like a lunatic in front of your service staff. We’ve put a butchers block in the shop, thrown a few sharpeners and [...]

Chef Up North Have Trailers For Hire…

Oh yes we do. Not many, we’ve bought four to begin with. Two with fridges, two without. Easy to tow. No masses of paperwork to fill in. Easy on the eye (well as easy as a trailer can be) and we’ll deliver them to you or you can collect them. Not arsed either way. Push on [...]

Chef Up North notice the food police are at it again

They were out and about in numbers (well there was more than one of them anyway) hitting a few areas of West Yorkshire last week. Hats (with snoods) of to them for the job they’re trying to do. I wait with anticipation to see how they follow up on this crackdown as there is a definite need [...]

Chef Up North are rampaging down Headingley way

Check out James Bradley (Exec Chef, Headingley Stadium) and his brigade of chefs at tonight’s Super League Leeds Rhinos v Warrington Wolves fixture as they don their new sponsored kit for the first time this season. Moving away from traditional white they’ve opted for nice black numbers, complete with the revitalised Headingley Experience logo, partnered [...]

Chef Up North offer their apologies

We spent a solid amount of time and effort on developing our internet presence and within the first seven days of going live the site went down for over five days. Apparently this is all now rectified and was a server issue (we’ve all had them in the past I guess, the ones stood near the pass who [...]
