The Bear-illiant caterers

Ben and his team were incredible, they were actually the first vendor we booked almost a year and a half before the wedding. They were the only caterer I felt that was as genuinely excited and passionate for our wedding food than we were. They were totally flexible with our wants, needs and budget and were even just fun to chat to. The team went above anf beyond on the day including supplying me a gravy fountain, my husband his own dinner and helping carry something for my dad's speech.

Could not reccomend these guys more, we even invited them to stay longer after the wedding which they professionally declined haha!

Our guests could also not stop talking about how tasty the food was and I had many people asking for recipes day after the wedding. Definitely incredible service and I hope they have even more successful weddings in the future!

The Most Incredible Wedding Feast

Our dream wedding meal was to be a relaxed affair where everyone could really enjoy the food, have a lot of it regardless of dietary requirements. What we got was so much more than that! When we first spoke with Ben we discussed plans of a fully Vegetarian feast, sharing bowl/platter style. We wanted dishes that not only tasted great but could be enjoyed by everyone and that would make even the meat eaters happy without a steak! He and his team delivered. The food was incredible and enjoyed by everyone, and the leftovers demolished the morning after. The team we so accomodating for all the dietary requirments (GF, DF, Nut Free) you name it, we had guests with it! The team even sorted our dream evening food, made to order pizzas in the garden! I can't recommend them enough, and if Ben suggests his Pasties, DO IT!

Wedding (gluten free)

The most amazing food! They made sure it was gluten free safe for my family. Extremely professional and all our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing the food was.

We can't wait to use you again for future events ❤️

Exceptional & Delicious Wedding Food

Ben and Aiobh catered for our wedding at the end of August & I couldn’t recommend them enough! From start to finish they were so passionate & attentive to every detail making sure it was perfect for our special day. We got our own tasting menu brought to our home where we could taste the wide selection of options on the menu & make a decision. Everything we tried was delicious, it was very hard to choose! Throughout our wedding day we heard nothing but compliments about how good the food was, everyone loved it!

The canapés, the buffet dinner, and the hog roast was all delicious and presented beautifully. All of the staff were so professional & helpful talking through what was what with each guest. Highly recommend, the photos of the food speak for themselves. Thanks again Ben & Aiobh!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
