Welcome To Oakden
Oakden is the parent company for Oakden Park Farm, Apex Catering, and Embers Catering Equipment. Here you can find out about our latest news through the blog and also information about Oakden Park Farm, our market garden farm that we use to grow our own salad, herb and fruit produce for use in our catering.
We will be blogging on our year’s progress from our four businesses, Oakden, Apex, and Embers. These businesses are all linked within a specific market sector of catering - as Apex we are one of the oldest and most experienced caterers for clients in the UK, as Embers we make the catering ovens, and as Oakden Park Farm we have a market garden to grow the salad, herbs and fruit crops we use in our catering. We also use Historical Foods who help us in designing our Medieval menus and investigate historical recipes for us to use.
Historical Foods. translate authentic historical recipes for the modern kitchen.
