Food Worth Showing Up For
We’re an award-winning Cotswold café, event caterer, and maker of award-winning food products. All under one roof. All made with care.
From a Home Kitchen to the Cotswolds
Pink Salt Shed started life in a home kitchen, making pestos, chutneys and seasonings by hand, in small batches, with no shortcuts. Demand grew, and so did we, first into premises of our own, then into a café, then into event catering.
Today we’re all of it at once: a 33-seat café with reviews we’re genuinely proud of, an events team that caters everything from intimate dinners to crew catering for 200-plus, and a product range that’s found its way onto shelves and into kitchens far beyond Chipping Norton.
Built On Silverstone Foundations
Early in her career, Kate worked for the catering company holding the site-wide contract at Silverstone Circuit, across the BRDC, the Jimmy Brown Centre, the Silverstone Driving School, and the Paddock Diner.
Race and event weekends included the Coys International Historic Festival, BRSCC meetings, and international motorsport fixtures, alongside marquees, private hospitality suites around the circuit, the Fleet Show, and on-site festivals.
That grounding in feeding hundreds, sometimes thousands, under real pressure and to exacting standards, is where Pink Salt Shed’s approach to event catering was first shaped, and it’s a relationship that continues today, with Pink Salt Shed now catering for businesses at Silverstone Park, including Formula One teams.

The People Behind It All
Behind every jar, every table, and every event is a small, genuinely brilliant team. From the kitchen making pesto by hand, to the café team who greet you like an old friend, to the crew setting up marquees before sunrise, everyone at Pink Salt Shed cares about getting it right.
It’s that care, more than anything else, that keeps people coming back, and it’s why we’re proud to introduce you to them every time you visit, book, or open a jar.
