Incredible - book these guys, you won’t regret it!

We were lucky enough to have James and the team cater our wedding in October and I can’t recommend them enough. From our initial planning meeting right through to the day they made everything feel easy and painless.

I felt James really took the time to understand our likes and dislikes and to really get a feel for the vibe of our day… and OMG the end result was incredible. The canapés, main wedding breakfast and evening food were all so delicious and looked incredible - a massive feat bearing in mind it was prepped in the venues outside catering tent during a storm and gale force winds, and we were running around 45 minutes behind schedule.

The service from the team was also incredible - everyone was so warm and friendly, while ensuring everything was looked after.

Having been a guest at other weddings where (I hate to say it) you get served mediocre, mass catered meals Contemporary Catering far exceeded any expectation we had - everything was exceptional and we had so many positive comments on the food and the service from all of our guests.

Highly Recommend

I can't recommend Contemporary Catering enough, James made the whole experience straightforward and stress free. We meet up a couple of times before the weddings and he explained everything to us a went over our options. A completely tailored catering service to meet our needs and work with our budget. The cost of food has skyrocketed but James has different options to work with you. Not only was the food amazing but James and his team were incredible, we didn't have to worry about anything, he was so well prepared. They went above and beyond. We had so many compliments for both the wedding breakfast and the evening food. It's was so lovely, he really helped make the day special.

Contemporary Catering Norfolk Wedding Catering Review

We couldn’t be happier with the service provided by Contemporary Catering Norfolk for our wedding. From start to finish, everything was absolutely outstanding. The team of waiting staff and front of house were exceptional—professional, attentive and wonderfully friendly—helping the whole day run seamlessly.

The food was nothing short of brilliant. The canapés were beautifully presented and full of flavour, the beef roast was perfectly cooked and enjoyed by every guest (we still have friends and family talk about the food to this day) and the afternoon-tea-style desserts were the perfect finishing touch. The hot buffet served at the reception was unbelievable—generous, delicious, and a huge hit with everyone. We had a number of guests with various allergies who were well catered for and Contemporary Catering ensured there were no cross contaminations or mix ups with food.

They supplied all the crockery and cutlery, which made everything effortless for us, and their overall organisation and service were impeccable. We would highly recommend Contemporary Catering Norfolk to anyone looking for high-quality catering, and an excellent team to help make their event truly special.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
