Truthfully, the best ever caterers
It's hard to summarise just how amazing Blackberry and Bay are but in essence, they were the highlight of our entire wedding! It's been a month and guests are still talking about how phenomenal the food and service was. We wish we could do it all again, so that we can experience their food again!! From the beginning, their communication could not have been better. They are extremely reliable and dependable. Food tastings were out of this world. They were very thoughtful with making a back up tasting plan when my partner was unable to attend the first date. In the run up to the wedding, we really appreciated their reliable communication and attention to detail. During the wedding, they were incredible. Food was SO delicious, flavoursome and creative. Portions were absolutely perfect - every single person was full and talking about how incredible the food was. And their service was spot on - so well coordinated and rapid. We have already had one set of friends book them in for their wedding next year, and multiple other friends are asking about them. My "foodie" father in law even emailed them afterwards to ask for recipes! We can't recommend them enough - what a truly exceptional team! We may be a bit biased, but we genuinely think this is the best wedding food we have ever had and many guests said exactly the same.Blackberry & Bay Catering's reply:

Exceptional Catering-Simply Outstanding
Blackberry and Bay were absolutely amazing. The service from start to finish was exceptional. I am so glad we chose them for my stepdaughter’s wedding. We honestly couldn’t have asked for more. The food was delicious, the service was superb, and the team were wonderful throughout. James and Anastasia go above and beyond, and nothing is ever too much trouble.
They helped make such a special day even more memorable. Our friends were all saying how excellent the food was and how friendly and professional the team were. Weddings are such important occasions, and knowing everything was in such capable hands made all the difference.
A huge thank you to James and Anastasia and the rest of the team for helping make the day so very special. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Blackberry and Bay to anyone looking for exceptional wedding caterers. Truly deserving of five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Blackberry & Bay Catering's reply:
Thank you, Sue, you and your family were a pleasure to serve and we are so happy that the Wedding went so well. Very pleased to read these lovely words. Kind Regards, James & Anastasia @ Blackberry & Bay -

Thoroughly recommend
James and Anastasia were very attentive and really take their time with you prior to booking to discuss how they work and find out your wants and needs. Felt totally at home during the food tasting and the food was incredible with plenty to try. Very helpful and flexible with any adjustments or changes and catered to all of the guests with dietary requirements (which was a lot!)
Food was incredible, as was the service we received, they really went the extra mile. All the guests commented on how good the food was and everyone was well fed and happy.
Thanks again for your wonderful service!Blackberry & Bay Catering's reply:

Outstanding Wedding Catering That Exceeded Every Expectation
What can I say, other than just wow - Blackberry and Bay did an incredible job catering for my wedding, and they delivered above and beyond our expectations. All the food was fabulous - we had high expectations from the tasting, and they really delivered on the day. The canapes, three course wedding breakfast and evening food (all prepared in a tent) were all delicious and plentiful. We had so many compliments on the food, with many saying that it's the best wedding food they've ever had.
What's more, James and Anastasia were brilliant. Other than the food, we were so impressed and appreciative of their knowledge, guidance, support and flexibility throughout the whole planning process. In addition, they were friendly, attentive to our needs (vegetarian!) and calm, making the whole experience very easy. They provided us with the perfect mix of professional and personal service. The service staff they used for the wedding were also great - proactive but discreet, very professional and polite.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Blackberry and Bay to anyone looking for event catering - you won't regret it.Blackberry & Bay Catering's reply:
Thank you very much, Bunny. What a great Wedding! So pleased for you both, and we really appreciate this fantastic review. Kind Regards, James & Anastasia @ Blackberry & Bay -

Everyone LOVED the food
James & Anastasia at BlackBerry & Bay are the kindest, most patient people you’ll meet. Through-out planning the wedding they gave me advice even if it wasn’t to do with food.
Any time I wanted a catch up or I wanted run through the plans for the 10th time, they did it, with a smile on their faces.
The food, oh my god- the food, it was incredible. We had few special requirements and they were happy to cater to them, nothing was an issue.
Everyone throughout the day was raving about the food, not only for our reception but also our evening food, honestly to die for.
The dishes everyone loved were the chicken thighs, the prawns & the bean salad during the day. Then in the evening the sausage rolls (these were warm). Anastasia & James said after they had made a couple hundred of these, there none left. They were gone within minutes! It’s been over a week so far and our guests are still talking about these dishes and I’m sure they’ll be talking about this for a long time.
The whole team at Blackberry & Bay were fantastic, they ensured the day ran smoothly (and it did), the servers and the food were for sure an absolute highlight to our wedding day & I’m absolutely over the moon with the outcome.
So if you’re looking to book anyone for your caterers, hopefully my glowing 5 star review will get you closer. I could not recommend a company more than Blackberry & Bay.Blackberry & Bay Catering's reply:
Thank you very much Ellen, so pleased to read this and very happy it went so well Kind Regards, Anastasia & James -

Somerset summer wedding
From our first communications to the final clear up, James and Anastasia from Blackberry and Bay made the catering for our wedding a stress free experience. The planning was organised and professional, the tasting was an event in itself and the food was outstanding. We received lots of compliments. They managed multiple dietary preferences and last minute changes with ease. On the day, the whole serving team were lovely and helpful.
Was it value for money?, I don’t actually know, i just wanted excellent food, an easy team to work with and a happy day and they delivered all of this. I would use them again tomorrow.Blackberry & Bay Catering's reply:

Outstanding 😍💯😍💯
Blackberry and Bay were outstanding and really went above and beyond to make our wedding the most special day. We came to them wanting an Italian themed wedding, with a specific starter, in mind. They were not only accommodating but enthusiastic about the challenge! The food was incredible, with many guests saying it was the best wedding food they'd ever had and we couldn't have agreed more. The service staff and bar staff sourced were absolutely lovely and professional. They're clean up of the kitchen and tables was incredibly helpful, especially given the dry hire which meant we could just enjoy the day.
I honestly could not recommend more.
We were working with a fairly generous budget, but I definitely feel it was value for money, and we paid for an impeccable standard of service.
I loved their positive attitude and willingness to really want the day to go as well as possible. Fantastic!

Brilliant food and brilliant service - could not recommend more!
We had Blackberry and Bay join us for our wedding and they were absolutely brilliant. James and Anastasia were there to help us every step of the way, and understood the kind of atmosphere we wanted to create instantly. They gave us a range of options to choose from (difficult as they were all delicious!) and they made the day itself stress free. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable and honestly we couldn’t recommend them enough. Our guests are still talking about the sharing platters and have said it’s the best wedding food they’ve ever had!Blackberry & Bay Catering's reply:
Thank you, Suzie. It was such a successful, beautiful Wedding in such a peaceful, unique setting. We really enjoyed it and are very pleased for you both. Kind Regards, James & Anastasia -

Fantastic Blackberry & Bay team!
We couldn't have asked for a better catering team than Blackberry & Bay. Despite some incredibly challenging weather on the day, James, Anastasia and team delivered the most amazing food and service from start to finish.
The quality of the food was exceptional, and we're still amazed at how they managed to produce such perfect dishes under the circumstances. Every guest commented on how delicious everything was.
The service was equally outstanding. The whole team was professional, friendly and genuinely warm throughout the day, making everyone feel so well looked after. Nothing was too much trouble, and their calm, positive attitude helped make our the day feel relaxed and enjoyable.
We're so grateful to the Blackberry & Bay team for making our day so special. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or special event, and we'll certainly be passing on their details to friends and family. Thank you again for everything!Blackberry & Bay Catering's reply:
What a lovely review, thank you Josh. It was a really great wedding, you and your families were such a pleasure to look after, no amount of wind or rain could stand in our way! I’m so glad you had an amazing time. Kind Regards, James, Anastasia & the team at Blackberry & Bay -

Outstanding caterers for our 200 pers wedding
We got a number of quotes before going with BlackBerry and Bay caterers. We came across them through friends who used them for their wedding, they did a stellar job for both.
What we organised with B&B:
165 people canapés and wedding breakfast
200 people evening food + bar
150 next day bbq
They not only were the hugely open to the asks we had, but seemed genuinely excited about it. For example we wanted to use the family farm meat and show it off as much as possible. We couldn’t have asked for better.
The lead up was stress free, very laid back, friendly, and responsive. They organised the crockery hire for us. They knew where all the food came from, and gave us stories of various recipes. It was also really important to us to avoid food waste and managed to re use food from the day before for the bbq in interesting ways that meant no drop in quality.
On the day we had big issues with a generator not working and they pulled the whole thing out the bag, and you wouldn’t have had a clue!
Our guests were so impressed, we haven’t stopped hearing about how great the food was and how great they were on the day.
We would highly recommend them, thank you James and Anastasia!

Josie & George,
Thank you so much. So very pleased for you both. What a wedding! The views at your farm were incredible. The beach, the gardens, the lamb! Also BEST sausages we’ve ever had. We really enjoyed it. It was fun, can’t we just do it all again?
