Canapés, Wedding Breakfast and evening pizza

Gourmet Foods were excellent. All the staff were friendly and professional, serving canapés and keeping our guests fizz topped up.
The wedding breakfast for 90 people was served efficiently with all out guests commenting on how amazing it was.
The evening pizzas were delicious and the perfect amount to keep our guests going while dancing the night away.
At the end Gourmet Foods left the kitchen immaculate and quietly disappeared.
Overall Gourmet Foods were excellent and I’d recommend to anyone, thanks for making our day so great!

Pies on your wedding day??

Gourmet Foods were phenomenal from start to finish. We wanted a very bespoke menu and were very particular in what we wanted, but Gourmet Foods pulled it off even better than we expected! A starter of Somerset cheeses and a main of family style pies? For a wedding? Not a problem for Gourmet Foods!
Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful team and wonderful food for your wedding

Stunning Presentation

We had a fantastic wedding and the buffet service provided by Gourmet foods was excellent. The food choices were huge, very tasty and the presentation was stunning. Everyone was in praise of it and the vegetarians and vegans were very pleased too as their choices equally tasty and were clearly labelled without being to obvious.
Gourmet foods also made our wedding cake which was amazing.
Delivery and collection were on time and presentation by the staff was perfect.
We couldn't fault them.
Would definitely book again for any other event.

Excellent Experience!

Gourmet food are an excellent company who give you amazing food, big and tasty portions that look great, while still being excellent value for money.
From start to finish, communication was great. We were able to alter things for our wedding, like changing numbers or altering food for a fussy guest within 2 weeks of the wedding day!
The food was hearty and delicious while still looking really beautiful on the plate.
Staff are friendly and professional.
Cannot recommend enough!

Garden wedding

We had a wedding in a marquee in our garden, which was very stressful but Gourmet Foods took over the whole food part with fantastic professionalism and timing putting me at ease. The food was excellently presented and a talking point for my guests for weeks afterwards because of the quality of the food. I highly recommend them.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

Fenella de Minckwitz
Fenella de Minckwitz
Director

I am Fenella and i am the Director of Gourmet Foods. I was classicaly trained at the famous Cordon Blue School, Winkfield. After graduating with distinction, I gained valuable experience working in restaurants in Bath before marying and moving abroad. On returning to this country, I set up my own catering company in Birmingham before aquiring Gourmet Foods in 1994. Since that time, I have maintained a strong base of both business and private clients. Some of our many achivements include catering for the Queen whilst contracted to provide a la carte in-flight meals to a private jet company, serving 450 guests with a hot three course meal for an international celebration dinner held in Coventry Cathedral and for the last three years exclusively catering for the needs of Jaguar Land Rovers VIP clients across their three sites in the Midlands.

Head Chef

I joined Gourmet Foods not long after COVID, a difficult time for all, but particularly those of us in the Hospitality sector. I have ensured that my previous experience (including Head Chef in a Michelin starred restaurant) has not been limited to only what is needed to run a succesful kitchen, but I have added to my knowledge by learning the nessesary skills to operate a business and meet the exacting requirements needed. Now both mine and Fenellas skills are combined, the business is going from strength to strength.
