JP Kitchen

Amazing food. Guests were raving about it. (Carribean Feast). Attention to detail regarding the menu. All planned out well as discussed with JPs Kitchen. Staff were efficient and professional throughout the day. Would recommend JPs Kitchen.

The Perfect food for our perfect day

When we heard that we needed to use the venue's vendors, we were worried, but it turned out that we had nothing to worry about.

We are big foodies, and we didn't want classical wedding food, so when we saw JP Kitchen's BBQ menu, we were sold.

We went for our tasting, and as soon as we started eating, we looked at each other and decided there and then that we didn't need to go to another tasting.

Communications with JP were extremely easy and prompt; they were able to answer our questions promptly and with ease.

On the day JP showed up and went above and beyond, assisting our decorators and setting up their stations with practised efficiency. This cannot be overstated, how amazing this is, as it was one less thing for us to think about on an already high-stress day.

Finally, but most importantly, the food was everything. We had an array of options, even for the few vegans among us; everything was delicious, and everyone was eager for seconds. The quality truly carried from the tasting to the day. The picana steak stole the show; it was truly sublime, but everything tasted amazing from start to finish.

Now we're thinking about what to celebrate next that will require catering, so we can enjoy their food again.

Fantastic catering

We hired JP's Kitchen for our wedding catering and couldn't recommend them enough.

James was accommodating from start to finish, helping create the sit down sharing bbq menu, and evening food, that we were looking for. He was always contactable and willing to hop on a call to chat through any queries or concerns.

The team were amazing on the day and went above and beyond to deliver incredible delicious dishes! The Bar staff were brilliant, always serving with a smile and had a great rapport with our guests. James also helped take care of lots of little aspects in the background, making sure the day ran smoothly. Thanks so much James and Team!

A very good experience

We were a bit nervous because food was one of the most important elements for us but we didn't really know where to start! James was very quick to respond and was friendly and flexible. We were comfortable putting our trust in him and he didn't disappoint! The food was wonderful - our guests had a lot of positive things to say! The service on the evening was also very good.

Hog roast!

Food was amazing and the staff working were incredible. They were so kind and lovely and helped solved a problem we had on the day! They catered to the list of dietary requirements I sent in advance.

The food went so quickly and people went back for seconds!! It was lovely to see the plates piled high with food!

Outstanding food

James and all at JP’s kitchens made our wedding day incredibly special, the flexibility was completely unrivalled we were able to choose everything we wanted. Unlike other wedding caterers we felt that the JPs Kitchens was there for us and was working to make our day special, everything was exceptional.

We still get people saying how amazing it was and are so happy at how JPs Kitchens delivered outstanding food & service for us and our guests!
