Welcome to Papadeli, an award-winning catering service for weddings and other special occasions in Bristol and surrounding areas, from Chepstow, Clevedon and Portishead to Wiltshire, Somerset and Gloucestershire.
We care about food and where it comes from, and we want your wedding to be exceptional and memorable.
Using the best local, seasonal ingredients, our amazing chefs cook up creative, colourful canapes and wedding feasts with every piece made from scratch.
When faced with a Papadeli board of puddings and cakes, most people just can't make up their minds. So we now offer a board of mini puddings and cakes so that guests at your wedding can try everything.
"Papadeli caterered for our wedding and we've lost track of the number of people who said they were the best canapes and food they've ever had at a wedding.
The food was so delicious, the only downside was that I (the Bride) couldn't fit any more in!
From the moment we contacted Papadeli to enquire about catering for our wedding, Louise and the team looked after us so well, we received such a personable service, had anamaxing taster session and then got blow away by the food and service on the day.
Thank you for contributing to our perfect day. Samx"
Wedding Feasts
Papadeli food is all about abundance and originality, big flavours and integrity. Many couples choose our wedding-sharing feasts as they are a little bit different and allow guests to get talking over the stunning array of food on their table.
What could be more exciting than watching beautiful wooden dishes filled with the most imaginative and creative foods being arranged on your table for guests to help themselves and each other. It provides a great subject for conversation and ensures that your wedding will be spoken about for years after. There is nothing stuffy or overly formal about a Papadeli wedding. We welcome all guests and cater for everyone. Remember to ask about our veggie and vegan options.
Whether your wedding is in a hired church hall, marquee in a field or in one of Bristol's stunning venues (Circomedia, St George's, The Clifton Observatory, The Mount Without, and The Elmgrove Centre, to name a few), you can trust us to make it seamless.
Our wedding manager, Lou can advise on all the minutiae and arrange a tasting. The exciting planning starts then.
Wedding Picnics
Fancy something more informal? Imagine your guests sitting in a beautiful field with Papadeli picnic boxes filled with all the deli's best items; add salads, pastries, tarts, drinks, and cakes - it's easy to get carried away!
