Tasty wedding food

Orchard Catering provided an exceptional service for our wedding! The tasting beforehand was super helpful in making our menu decisions, and on the day, everything was absolutely delicious. The steak pie and pan-fried duck were particular standouts, with generous portion sizes that left everyone satisfied. The canapés were a hit too—so tasty! The team were fantastic, ensuring everything ran smoothly. And the pizza oven in the evening was a huge success—our guests loved it! We couldn’t have been happier with Orchard Catering and highly recommend them for any event.

Outstanding Caterers - and so much more!

We are forever grateful that Charlotte and her team at Orchard catering were with us on our wedding day! Not only were there so many comments about the delicious and filling food (amazing portions and ALL hot food for 160 people) but also so many compliments about Charlotte and her team whose friendly and professional service made our day even more enjoyable! Their infectious smiles and positive energy were such a welcomed addition on the best day of our lives!
For a company that caters a plethora of weddings a year, they made our day seem like their priority at every step of the way; from emails and phone calls leading up to the wedding, to the gorgeous tasting, to being cheerleaders on our big day! We always felt Charlotte and the the rest of her team had all the time in the world for us and personal touches were second to none, setting all tables, making sure we had an opportunity to eat some canapés, leaving evening food (pizza) in the bridal suite and even making a personalised Instagram reel from our day using our first dance music.
We’ll always keep our fingers crossed that our paths meet again in the future as we’d love to indulge in both their food and hospitality again!

Delicious Food, Gorgeous Decor + Phenomenal Service

I could not recommend Orchard Catering enough to provide delicious food, beautiful tableware and phenomenal service.

Charlotte and Niamh were attentive, warm + accommodating throughout the process and getting to go to the tasting at our venue before the wedding day was amazing! Everyone at my wedding said the food was beautiful (canapés, meal and evening food). We also hired linen and charger plates from Orchard and these absolutely made our table decor.

We had a few consultations with the team and they were always so prompt at responding and accommodating in meeting our needs/changes.

I absolutely would highly recommend Orchard!

Amazing food

The food was absolutely amazing! Our guests are still talking about the canapés now 6 months later. Nothing was too much trouble on the day. And Mario the pizza car was a fun and very yummy addition to our evening

Simply the best

Our food.
Guy is a trained chef so we knew our food had to be good. We knew early on that we wanted the wedding breakfast to be relaxed and social so the idea of a family style BBQ served to the table was perfect. Someone with a small appetite doesn’t feel awkward likewise someone that wants a second or third helping is satisfied. I didn’t like the thought of our guests being hungry during the drink reception so went pretty heavy on the canapés (I love canapés) but because of this we decided not to have a starter. We don’t like food waste and figured who needs loads of canapés AND a 3 course meal? I’m a massive dessert lover and knew choosing 1 was going to be really difficult, so browsing the caterers that work with our venue, I was over the moon to see that @orchardcatering fitted the bill 100%. BBQ, dessert trios, quality no fuss food, so was exactly what we were looking for! We also wanted a decent evening offering as had quite a few additional guests coming and the earlier plan to not over feed our daytime guests meant they’d be ready for another meal later on. When I saw Mario the Italian Pizza Car I fell in love….what a talking point that was!! @orchardcatering are so much more than just a company that provides food. I loved working with them creating the menu, the food tasting and Charlotte in particular was a dream throughout. When I suggested theming our pizzas to match our Star Wars theme they jumped at the chance to get involved and were just so helpful throughout. BUT, I can’t lie, what really stands them apart for me, is the fantastic reels Charlotte takes of your day, all the behind the scenes footage that you’re unaware of. Who needs a content creator with suppliers like this?! Charlotte, you and your team were a joy. Fantastic food, friendly, polite, professional service, I can’t recommend you highly enough. Thank you for everything.

Incredible caterer! Thank you ❤️

Orchard Catering truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day special and personal to us. Charlotte, our main point of contact, was amazing from the get-go, guiding us through every detail with such care, from the menu choices to accommodating changes and budget options. The tasting evening was a delightful experience, and we knew right then we were in great hands.

Rob, the brilliant chef, worked with us to create a menu that was unique and meaningful. We collaborated on salads that reminded us of a special holiday we took to Spain, and paired it with an incredible paella. It was such a fun, alternative approach to wedding food, and it left a huge impression on us and our guests. Everyone commented on how it was the best wedding food they’d ever had!

The Orchard Catering team were wonderful on the day—friendly, attentive, and ensuring that no one went hungry or thirsty. Their presence really added to the warm, relaxed atmosphere, and they even helped us craft our welcome drinks, which was a lovely, personal touch.

We couldn’t recommend Orchard Catering highly enough. They made our day so memorable, and their food and service truly elevated the whole experience!

Incredible Food & Team!

Orchard catering went above and beyond at our wedding. Not only was the food completely tailored to us and so delicious, but they also took so many photos and videos throughout the day and sent them all to us afterwards which was a lovely surprise, and even more so as we didn't have a videographer. Would highly recommend, such a lovely team with great communication and the BEST food!
