    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.

    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!

    Incredibly pleased to read this and very happy for you both. What a Wedding! Grazie a tutti! Kind Regards, James, Anastasia & team Blackberry & Bay

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Blackberry & Bay Catering's reply:

    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?

    James & Anastasia and the whole team @ Blackberry & Bay

    BlackBerry & Bay were delightful to work with

    We cannot recommend Blackberry & Bay highly enough following our Valentine’s Day wedding.

    From our very first conversation, working with Anastasia and James was an absolute delight. As a married couple, they brought not only expertise but genuine warmth and care to every stage of the process. They collaborated with us to create a delicious three-course, French-inspired menu that celebrated beautiful seasonal ingredients — including pheasant, venison, and Jerusalem artichokes — all prepared and presented exquisitely.

    On the day itself, Anastasia worked her magic in the onsite kitchen, while James and his wonderful front-of-house team, including Laurie, transformed our Victorian chapel into a beautifully dressed and inviting space for our wedding breakfast. Returning from cocktails to such a warm welcome and stunning setting was truly special.

    The food was exceptional, and so many of our guests commented on the quality, flavour, and presentation of every course. Just as importantly, the service was seamless, professional, and thoughtful throughout.

    From the initial discussions to the final moments of the evening, we had complete confidence that we had chosen the right team — and the experience on the day, along with the glowing feedback from our guests, only confirmed that feeling.

    Blackberry & Bay brought our wedding breakfast to life in the most wonderful way. Anastasia and James, thank you for helping to make our day so memorable.

    We’re absolutely blown away by such a lovely review, thank you! We really enjoyed helping out on such a special day. You, your friends and family were such lovely people to serve and glad you all enjoyed our offering. So very pleased. Kind Regards, James & Anastasia and the whole team @ Blackberry & Bay

    Incredible!

    We could not have asked for a better caterer for our wedding! From start to finish, their communication was exceptional – always prompt, clear and accommodating, which made the whole process stress-free. On the tasting and the day itself, the food absolutely blew us away. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious. Several of our guests have told us it was the best food they’d ever had at a wedding – which says it all! The service team was just as impressive: warm, attentive, and professional throughout, making sure everyone was looked after. They also went above and beyond to help on the day, which made the whole day flow seamlessly. We feel so lucky to have had them as part of our day and would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for incredible food and flawless service.

    So pleased to read your kind comments, Samantha. It was such a fabulous wedding and we’re very happy we could help and be a part of it. Kind Regards, James, Anastasia and all of us @ Blackberry & Bay

    Stunning food and service

    We hired Blackberry and Bay Catering for our wedding and they were outstanding from start to finish. All of our guest thought the food was delicious and there was such a variety, not forgetting the attention to detail and care they had with their service. We couldn't have been happier with James and Anastasia's involvement. The food was hot and we give them five stars for taste. AMAZING

    Wonderful wedding caterers

    Anastasia and James were absolutely fantastic both in the lead up and during our wedding. They arranged regular zoom calls with us to discuss the menu, were flexible with our ideas and changing plans and catered to all of our guests dietary requirements and needs! They provided a tasting day where we were able to sample copious amounts of their wonderful freshly cooked food, in a really relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The food on our wedding day was plentiful and delicious! Our guests have not stopped complimenting us since, stating that it was the 'best food they have eaten at a wedding.' The canapé desserts in particular were incredible. The service was also amazing, nothing was too much, even with our last minute changes!
    We would highly recommend Blackberry and Bay catering to all of our friends and family - mainly so that we get to eat their food all over again!

    Thank you very much for your kind words Ayesha. We’re so pleased your wedding day went so well. It was a pleasure. Kind Regards, Anastasia, James and the whole team @ Blackberry & Bay
