Catering for events both big and small
About Rock Catering
We’ve found ourselves in a camp kitchen in the wilds of Knoydart shovelling food into a bunch of ultra-hungry ultra-runners, in a bustling stadium kitchen prepping lunch for hopeful hospitality guests, on site at Fringe by the Sea festival keeping the cast and crew going with three meals a day or at home in the kitchen of a private estate serving up freshly-landed seafood or local game.
Wherever we find ourselves, we produce a food experience that’s as memorable as the occasion.
Event Catering
Rock Catering has the skills and know-how to cater for events both big and small and in venues both big and small, even the great outdoors! With over twenty years’ experience, we’re a solid team with solid credentials.
Whatever you have in mind for your event - a formal sit-down meal; something more casual like a buffet, canapés or finger food; a BBQ or even an attention-grabbing hog roast - we’ll work closely with you to plan out a menu that delivers on price and on brief.

Private Chefing
Rock Catering is an approved in-house caterer for Greencraig and Gosford House in East Lothian and Letterewe in Torridon, cooking for private guests on the estates. We can also bring our kitchen into your own home, chefing for lunch or dinner parties or social gatherings. We take a very collaborative approach to menu planning, working to the budgets and requirements of every client.
Contact us to ask about private chefing for you and your guests.

Whatever your tastes, we’ll provide the flavour! Get in touch for Rock Catering to design the supperclub of your dreams.

About Niall Middleton
A highly experienced professional in the catering and licensed trade in Scotland, Niall has forged a career spanning over twenty years at the helm of several successful businesses operating in the sector. Niall’s first venture was Uber Eats for the 90s - an exclusive Edinburgh restaurant delivery service, before he moved into catering in the early noughties setting up 24-7 Catering and Events. Preferred caterers to a number of prestigious venues including Lennoxlove, the Royal College of Physicians, Winton House and the Assembly Rooms, 24-7 also had lucrative corporate contracts for Scottish Cricket, Edinburgh Rugby and the Edinburgh Festival.
Between 2004 and 2008, Niall owned and managed a boutique hotel in the capital before gaining a foothold in the licensed trade, where he at one time operated four leased pubs in Edinburgh and East Lothian.
The pandemic stimulated in Niall, as with a great many other people, a re-evaluation of a great many things. Now a part-time psychology student, Niall ditched the bricks-and-mortar bars but still has his fingers firmly in the catering pie, chefing for events and venues both big and small through Rock Catering, based in East Lothian. Niall is also a director of container bar supplier Cargo Bars and a Personal Licence Holder.
