The food was delicious!

I can't thank Host enough for the delicious food they provided at our wedding. Everyone was raving about the quality and said they couldn't believe it had been cooked on site. Every single course was beautiful, and people are still talking about it! The pricing was beyond reasonable and they were so accommodating to all the last minute requests.

Delicious food & incredible service

Our guests have not stopped speaking about how incredible the food was at our wedding. It was honestly delicious. But as a bride I have to say the care and attention from Lucy & the team made my day extra special. They were always there to make sure me and my husband were okay and had everything we need. They truly made our day amazing.

Outstanding experience!

To Lucy and the Host staff,

Daniel and I want to say a huge thank you for making our day so special. The staff were so polite, helpful and so smiley whilst serving everyone. The food was absolutely amazing, our family kept commenting how wonderful it was especially the main, the sea bass. There was plenty of food and I loved how the staff went around ensuring everyone had plenty to eat especially one member of staff who kept a close eye on me to make sure I had canapés in between the photos which I was very grateful for! It was a great day and your fantastic service contributed to that. Thank you again and I would definitely recommend The Host!

Absolutely brilliant

We were so incredibly happy with Host catering and the wonderful food and service they provided on our wedding day. From the moment we had our first food tasting, through to the wedding itself - we’ve been so pleased with what Host catering had to offer. Our guests loved the food - and we honestly couldn’t have asked for much more. Lucy and the team are friendly, professional and simply fantastic. Would highly recommend!
