Catering that lets you enjoy your own event

We provide catering in Inverness and across the Highlands, from full wedding catering to intimate dinner parties, corporate catering and film and production catering. We also do smaller jobs: office lunches, afternoon teas, buffets and charcuterie boards.

Our team serves your guests and clears away afterwards, so there's nothing for you to do except relax and enjoy the meal. We have a wide range of menus, and if there's something you'd prefer, we can usually make it happen.

Chef Nina Manning

Hi, I'm Nina

I launched Delish Ness in autumn 2023, when my family and I moved to Inverness. I have more than twenty-five years in hospitality, cooking across the UK and Europe as a private chef for high-profile families, a head chef and an event caterer. In 2012 I hosted an intimate afternoon tea for His Majesty the King.

Read Nina's story
“Nina is such a delight to work with! She was always so prompt with answers and had no problem adjusting to our various needs. She was so flexible during the week. She'll be my first call if we're back in the area.”
Amanda Donoho, Illuminare Retreats for Women
