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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

Incredible wedding food & service!!

Purple Chilli recently catered for our wedding at Woolas Barn in Yorkshire. Our experience has been absolutely fantastic from start to finish, Sarah and the team have been wonderful to work with, very accommodating and responsive. Sarah and Mark helped us put together our menu with great suggestions and ideas and the food on the day was absolutely delicious, we had so many comments from our guests about how amazing the food and service was. We can't recommend Purple Chilli highly enough - you won't regret choosing them!! A huge thank you again :-)

Magnificent Food & Service

The whole team at Purple Chilli were amazing, from the tasting to the actual wedding. Nothing was too much trouble and they were always on hand to answer any questions. They catered not only for the wedding breakfast, but for the whole of the weekend. Truly magnificent. Thank you.

Fantastic food, amazing service. Well organised

Absolutely superb! If you want caterers that will impress even the most pickiest foody guests, then use these guys. Children were also well catered for. We had a wedding with several European guests who came away with a much improved perception of British cuisine thanks to Purple Chilli. The service and organisation was flawless, and they were more than accommodating regarding our specific wine requests. Cannot recommend them highly enough and added greatly to the whole wonderful wedding experience.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
