5 stars across the board!

We hired Saffron as the caterers for our wedding in August and they were exceptional! From the tasting last year (when Gareth spoilt us with a wide range of delicious canapés, starters, mains & desserts) to Dawn’s speedy & helpful communication (about everything from napkin colours to wine pairing) right up to Carla’s seamless service on the day (involving a special birthday dessert for my Dad) we could not recommend them more highly! 5 stars across the board!

Fantastic!

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for making our day possible. You guys were absolutely amazing from the start. To promptly contacting us, listening to our needs and coming up with a workable, affordable and cracking menu with a personal touch. Topped off with high quality superb cooking and an efficient, smooth tidy up. With delightful staff, a professional and friendly service and quick responses the main part of our day was really taken care of. We loved our tasting too and that put us in no doubt that we were going to have a smashing wedding dinner. Thank you so much!

A wonderful, personal service

We used Saffron caterers for our wedding at Grove House last weekend and were absolutely delighted to be in the safe hands of Kelly, Gareth and the team. We knew they were the right choice from the very first time we met them at our tasting last year and ever since they have been efficient, friendly and gone way above and beyond - nothing is too much to ask. We had the most amazing day in glorious sunshine and so many of the guests have commented on the organisation of the day, the quality of the canapes and food and the efficiency of all the waiting staff - a huge thank you to Kelly for all her hard work in coordinating the day and making the Portrait Room look so beautiful. We would recommend them to other couples looking for caterers without any reservation - you will be given a first class service from start to finish. Thank you Kelly, Gareth & the team!

Amazing food, amazing team

We had the pleasure of having Saffron Catering 'host' our wedding breakfast in August, and what an amazing job! From the very beginning with a tasting evening and plate adaptations, to prepping our rustic farm venue, to delivering knock-out courses in the middle of a field - the whole team were professional and fun. The food was outstanding and really made our day. We have had so many of our friends and family comment on the food, they really delivered for all dietary requirements and surpassed our (high) expectations. So lovely to work with. Thank you to Kelly and the whole team, I could not recommend them more.

Couldn't ask for better caterers!

Saffron Caterers were fantastic caterers to work with, and made our big day very special! We loved the tailor-made menu - and the chef was great at coming up with delicious, original vegetarian ideas that perfectly suited our tastes even when we weren't quite sure what we wanted! All our guests commented on how lovely the food was.

They helped and guided us throughout the process, and were brilliant on the day in making sure everything ran smoothly, and we didn't have to worry about anything. Huge thanks to Kelly, Tara and Gareth!

We wanted to say a massive thank you to Kelly, Gareth and the rest of the Saffron Caterers team for helping to make our wedding day an amazing one!

Amazing caterers and events planning

Rebecca and I got married in July 2018 at Capel Manor College. Kelly of Saffron took us to Capel as one of her suggested venues that suited what we were looking for. Kelly expertly guided us through the wedding planning journey and gave us the best day of our lives. She organised quotes for the venue, marquees and tipis and also various options on the food. We made our decisions, tipis and BBQ food and we booked our big day. We had a taster session and Saffron’s off-site kitchens which was superb. On the day Kelly had a great team with her to set everything up and the day went like clockwork with Kelly calmly sorting everything and not needing to trouble us with anything at all. The whole way through the process she was very flexible and supportive and we couldn’t have done it without her! We could not recommend Saffron highly enough, your big event will be in expert safe hands!! Pete & Becs

Absolutely wonderful caterers!

The food was delicious

Thank you so much for everything on Saturday!
I know its your job but you worked so hard to make the evening go smoothly.
The food was delicious (I hope I can find an address to thank Gareth personally) and your staff were very helpful and pleasant.
We will always be very confident in recommending Saffron Catering to others.
Have a good (and hopefully restful!) Christmas.

We can't thank you enough

What can I say. You are an absolute star!

You worked so hard to make Rachel and Liam's wedding day such a wonderful occasion and we truly appreciate everything you did. You were so friendly, supportive and reassuring in the lead up to the wedding and, on the day itself, your tireless work made it an occasion that we will all remember with nothing but joy and happiness. You worked so hard with Danielle to make sure that we had nothing to worry about on the day, and to make everything perfect, and I can't thank you enough for your help, advice, professionalism, and tireless work.
When we first met Kelly and Gareth for the food tasting, we knew immediately that Saffron would be the right choice for Rachel and Liam's wedding; the food was amazing and we knew that the Saffron team would do a great job. Your management of the event and the catering arrangements fulfilled our expectations and more. I have been involved with a fair bit of event organisation in my professional life, and I can honestly say that I have never come across anyone who has put so much into an event as you did on Saturday. We are all so grateful to you.

Please also pass on our thanks to the rest of the Saffron team, they were outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble and they dealt with the constant stream of requests from me, and from our guests, with such patience and good humour.

We will be writing to Kelly separately about the food, which was exceptional, but I wanted to thank you personally for everything. You were wonderful and we can't thank you enough!

Best wedding caterers!

A huge thank you to Kelly, Gareth and the team for playing such an important role in our wedding day.

The whole Saffron team got involved in the day. Not only was everyone super-efficient and friendly, they looked like they were enjoying the party as much as we were.

The food was delicious- we've lost count of how many people have complimented the food. The room was set up exactly as we wanted. The bar was ran so well - no mean feat with our friends and family!

We can't recommend Saffron Catering enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Sarah & Ed xx

Best Wedding Food You'll Eat

Kelly and Gareth are simply the dream team! My husband and I are proper foodies so it was really key to us to serve our guests something very special - and that's exactly what we got.

Throughout the whole experience they offered a professional and friendly service. They came round to our house to cook a trial menu before we signed with them and they completely blew the competition out of the water.

Kelly was incredibly patient (even though I kept changing my mind). On the day she managed the entire proceedings for us and everything was seamless. The waiting staff were also extremely hard working and meticulous.

Gareth and the team cooked a simply stunning meal. It was genuinely faultless. We had so much great feedback along the lines of 'best food I've had at a wedding ever'.

I really wouldn't hesitate to recommend Saffron. Thanks again Kelly and Gareth for making our wedding everything we wanted it to be and more.

Amazing from start to finish

We would highly recommend Saffron Caterers to anyone. Their calm, efficient and friendly approach made us feel totally at ease whilst planning one of the most special and important days of our lives. Kelly was amazing and dealt with every aspect in a reassuring and professional manner. We particularly loved the personal, at-home tasting session and fantastic quality throughout. Everyone commented on how delicious Gareth's food was and how generous the portions were. Overall we were so happy they were part of our special day.

Saffron made our wedding the success it was!

I can honestly say that without Saffron and in particular, Kelly our wedding would not have gone so seamlessly. From the moment I met Kelly I knew we would work with them - we just clicked. Having worked in events myself I know how important it is to think of every last detail and that is exactly what they did. Kelly went above and beyond her role as catering management on the day. The food was sublime - and the way they do the tasting in the comfort of your own home is so unique. I would highly recommend Kelly and Gareth and their staff to anyone getting married.
