Clare Sent on 31/08/2026Look no further than Simon! He's a star at what he does and he is also the loveliest human ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Simon is exceptional at what he does and we feel extremely blessed we chose him to be our wedding caterer.
We had many guests at our wedding but we wanted the vibe of our main meal to feel like a happy family meal. Simon delivered this and more ... BBQ meats, teriyaki salmon and halloumi and vegetable skewers delivered to each table. This was all accompanied by delicious salads and bakery rolls. When we looked out at our room, filled with all our loved ones, we saw excited faces, eagerly passing round food to each other and EVERYONE raved about the food when we chatted to them.
The canapés, sharer puddings and evening food were all just as sensational as our main.
Simon's Front of House is a superhero that goes by the name of Julie! The day before our wedding, she was an absolute diamond, helping us set up and on the day she was calm, attentive, happy and an absolute hero!
Simon and Julie are a dream team 🩷🩷🩷.
We feel very blessed we found them and we will always look back at our wedding food with the fondest memories.
Thank you Simon, Julie and your incredible team for making the food such an amazing part of our special day.
You are incredible at what you do ⭐️ -

After reviewing a range of options locally, we settled on Simon and his team to cater our joint wedding and fortieth birthday party and have been delighted from start to finish. We loved the menu he put together for the party and the results were absolutely delicious, receiving rave reviews from our friends and family. He is a thoughtful, clear communicator and everything with his team on the day ran like clockwork. Highly recommended. -

Simon came highly recommended from a family friend and i can see why, he was faultless. With the wedding breakfast being such an important decision we spoke to Simon about the different types of meals we could go for, from BBQ, to sharing platters, to hog roast, eventually settling on the standard sit down service. It was difficult choosing the menu because all the options sounded amazing, but once we had he drove out to us and cooked the options for us, cementing our decision selecting him. On the big day, he was flexible and able to adapt the timing of the food service around the speeches. Our guests could not have spoke more highly of the quality of the food and the presentation. We couldn't thank Simon enough for his work, i had the duck starter followed by the pork main course, and going the extra mile to add some crackling to the dish at a special request. Seamless from him and his staff - could not recommend more. -

We booked simon and his team for our wedding on 02/11/24. The food was extraordinary! Thank you so much to Simon and his team for providing our wedding with the most delicious food! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their canapés, wedding breakfast and deserts. Food was 10/10! -

James Sent on 29/09/2024Fantastic!
We’d definitely recommend Simon Pollendine to cater for your wedding. He was super flexible and catered for all types of allergies and diets, including gluten free, dairy free etc and even for a fussy eater who only eats chicken nuggets and chips!!!
He came to our house prior to our wedding for a preview of the menu for our big day and that was also perfect, he even washed up afterwards!
The food on our actual Wedding day was incredible and our guests commented on how amazing it all was.
We wouldn’t hesitate to use Simon again for any future special occasions. -

Best Wedding Reception
Simon Pollendine and team catered for our magical wedding at Normanton Park Gardens and the canapés, bbq and trio of desserts were exceptional. Simon and his team are so professional and the service we received was outstanding and timely. We highly recommend this brilliant catering service for any special occasions. -

We choose Simon to do our wedding catering not only for his food but for his enthusiasm and “can do” attitude (other caterers had given us a number of reasons why our theme wouldn’t work). He welcomed, embraced and worked with our unusual request and he also managed to create canapés that were in keeping with our theme. The food tasting was utterly exceptional and the food on the day was exactly as promised, our guests loved the food as much as we did
