A wedding meal to remember

On our wedding weekend, the food and service was fantastic—all our guests were raving about how delicious everything was! All guest dietary needs were accommodated without a flaw as well. We honestly thought our wedding breakfast meal was better than we remembered, which was great. 

Mark, Sarah & team were easy and great to work with leading up to the wedding as well and accommodated our tasting dates and zoom meetings since we were based overseas in the states.

Absolutely Stunning Food!

Absolutely amazing food and service from all of the team - Sarah really listened to what we wanted and Mark and the team suggested ideas which made the food at our wedding even better. The food was provided for the full weekend - and all of our guests are still talking about it now 2 months down the line.
We are massive foodies, and Purple Chilli did not disappoint. Thank you to the whole team, you really did give us the best wedding food we could have dreamed of!

Fantastic!

We hired Purple Chilli Events to cater for our wedding in August '23. From the very beginning they were interested in us, our story, and ensuring they could support us throughout our wedding.

They are incredibly professional and maintain a fantastic standard of quality even when catering for huge numbers. We were very happy with the team and would absolutely recommend them to anyone who are looking for caterers for their event.

Incredible experience

Purple Chilli was incredible from the initial consultation, tasting and the day itself. We are so grateful to the entire team for making our wedding weekend so special. The guests were raving about the quality of the food and the professionalism of the staff. As an example of the professionalism and care: a nice touch was a member of staff finding the bride and groom to make sure we had got canapés!

The best food ever!

The food at our wedding exceeded our expectations and we had so many compliments about the standard of the food. From ‘best wedding food ever’ to ‘do they have a restaurant’. Sarah has been the easiest to contact and nothing has ever been too much trouble even with the few changes we had to make right up until the day before.
The menu to choose from is extensive and they are willing to make any changes necessary to make it your perfect menu. Thank you Purple Chilli we will be looking out for your next pop up events!

Perfect caterers

Purple chilli were fantastic from start to finish. They arranged for a private tasting session at their premises to help choose our menu, there range of dishes was huge so it was difficult to narrow it down! They also said they could make something bespoke which wasn’t on the menus if we wanted. The food was delicious, and the staff were all really nice and professional, everything went seamlessly.

Divine Food and a service that did it justice.

Mark and the team realised how important food and drink was going to be at our wedding and they absolutely nailed it for us. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Everyone said how outstanding the quality and quantity was and there was something for everyone. All the little touches we asked for like blue WKD etc and the little union jacks were well delivered and well received form our guests, the detail was fab. The staff went above and beyond for us and our guests all day. The communication from the start of our first meeting and tasting session was excellent. Look no further than this company for any catering or bar requirements.

The most amazing food ❤️

As soon as looked at the Purple Chilli menu we knew it was the one for us, but we even more sure after meeting Sarah and chatting about the wedding!

The range of food is so amazing and after tasting the food at our tasting menu day, we couldn’t believe how amazing it was. The presentation was just so beautiful and unique, we were just totally in love with it.

Everybody at our wedding said it was the best food they’d ever had at a wedding and would have paid very good money for the food at a restaurant, a few months on it is still a talking point!

Thank you so much for making the wedding day so special!

“Best wedding menu ever”

We had Purple Chilli cater our wedding in August. When we sent the menus out, our guests couldn’t believe they were being served surf and turf. A few said it was the best wedding menu they’d ever seen, and I could tell they were thinking it was too good to be true. Well more surprise to them, it absolutely was not. The food went down an absolute storm and people are still telling me now two month later how amazing it was. Everything was seamless and gorgeous and I’d get married again just to have Purple Chilli cater for me one more time. I didn’t have the easiest set up, with my wedding breakfast taking place up a flight of stairs from the kitchen & there being 94 guests to serve. It went without a hitch and I just couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you to Sarah, Mark and the team.

Just absolute perfection!!

We have no words for how out of this world the food was on our wedding day. Everything was impeccable and we lost count of how many times our guests said it was the best wedding food they had ever had.

All our guests commented on how many canapés there were and how fabulous the staff were. We also had so compliments on the beef for the main and how it melted in everyone’s mouth.

We even had guests sending pictures of the menu and food to couples they knew who are planning their wedding! It was such a key part of the day and we are beyond pleased!
The team is so incredibly talented and we are so happy we chose them to be part of our day as we are sure it will be a talking point for years to come!

Amazing staff, amazing food!

We used Purple Chilli for our weekend wedding (Fri-Sun) so there was a lot to cater for. The staff were all amazing, through the planning process and at the wedding itself, they were always so professional and really helpful.

The food was amazing, the canapés in particular were a big stand out but they have so much variety of things to choose from and can cater to all tastes and ideas.

Highly recommend!

Delicious food and lovely people!

I recently used Purple Chilli to do the catering at my wedding and I can’t recommend them highly enough! Mark, Sarah and the team are incredibly good at their jobs, very responsive and made everything stress free! The food and presentation was absolutely delicious and so many of our guests have commented on it several times as they all thought it was so good! Lovely people to deal with. Thank you so much once again for making our day so special.
