Rituals & Roots Catering; Nourishment, Care & Connection

Food is powerful and it can bring us together, heal us and is one of the most important elements to our events. Rituals & Roots is all about exactly this - bringing us together over delicious food. The food at our events can start conversations and it can sometimes be the making of an already brilliant gathering. I take this very seriously and always put my heart into my cooking.  With a culmination of years of varied kitchen experience, a strong ethos around food and professional event management I'm a great person to have on your team!

If you don't know already then hello! My name is Millie and I've been working in kitchens since I was in my early teens. I have spent the past 2 decades in an array of different kitchen environments and learning from working for and beside some fantastic cooks and chefs. From busy catering kitchens on private estates, running a food waste initiative for 10 years, private cheffing at wellness retreats all over the UK, to managing complex needs and diets for adults with learning & physical disabilities. My multidisciplinary background in both care and the kitchen has grounded me into the cook I am today, one who works holistically, intentionally & with great care.

My practices have sustainability at the core, and my menus are always carefully curated to suit the needs of the event and people attending whilst also taking into consideration the environmental impact of our choices. I bring a family team usually and can have hands on deck for setup, service and take down. You can relax knowing that we've got everything in hand whilst you enjoy your day (and the food!)

“Millie’s food is unbelievably good for the soul. You experience the love she puts into every ingredient when you eat her creative and always delicious dishes.

I had never eaten 5 days of vegetarian dishes and I never once missed out. The fresh salads were always out of this world and the soulful bowls full of lovely surprises were a real delight. 

I particularly enjoyed the great company Millie brings with a constant positive bright and smiling service. Her treats and snacks were decadent with rich chocolate, nut butters, fruits and crumb toppings. I have since added Chia puddings and turmeric lattes to my diet.”
