Jonathan Carter-Morris and Marc Hornby
Caviar & Chips, run by Jonathan Carter-Morris and Marc Hornby, was named Best Luxury Wedding Caterer in the West Midlands at the LUXlife Hospitality Awards.
Co-founders Jonathan Carter-Morris and Marc Hornby heard the news of their latest award as they began preparations for the opening of their brand new wedding venue Stockton House near Shifnal at the National Wedding Show in Birmingham last weekend.
Caviar & Chips Catering has its production kitchen in Birmingham and caters to weddings and events across the UK. It was founded by the two in 2017 when they were studying for their MBA at Aston University in Birmingham.
Now, three years later, they have built the bespoke catering business into an award-winning brand known for their unique, bespoke approach to creating any menu in any format their customers want their customers to envision.
They also opened their first pub in Kenilworth, Warwickshire called The Famous Virgins in Castle in March 2020 and are now starting their next project with their unique and boutique wedding venue in Shropshire, Stockton House, which will open in 2022.

Co-founder Marc Hornby stated, “Winning this award is a great recognition of our brilliant teams who have worked so hard over the past year. We got through the lockdown and hosted more weddings and events this summer than our first two years.
“We’re growing very quickly and our teams continue to deliver incredibly high standards and it’s an absolute pleasure to see that.”
Co-Founder and Chef Jonathan Carter-Morris explained how the idea for Caviar & Chips came about when he got married and simply couldn’t find a caterer to create the menu he and his fiancée wanted.
“We were looking for a caterer who was enthusiastic about our menu ideas and who would help us put together all the food and drinks that we would like to enjoy together,” he has told the hospitality industry for over 20 years, we wanted a menu that had a story told about our relationship, but we were really struggling to find someone to help so we did it ourselves.
“It turned out to be a great five-course menu with matching wines, canapés and after-dinner drinks and so we turned it into a business and Caviar & Chips was born.”
