We had a semi-formal barbecue + salad followed by ice cream for a wedding dinner. Simon was very responsive to our needs and took time to understand our requirements, including catering for dietary needs and careful segregation and serving of gluten-free food (because some of our guests had coeliac disease). Everything was clearly labelled, and Simon gave us helpful advice in advance about options for serving all the food. On the day the service was excellent, including clearing away of all crockery etc and cooking equipment. We couldn't have wished for anything different. And all very good value for money. We'd have no hesitation in using Simon and his team again.

There honestly aren't enough words to thank Catherine and everyone at The Little Kitchen Company for everything they did for our wedding. From our very first conversation, we knew we'd found the right caterers. Catherine immediately put us at ease with her knowledge, organisation and genuine enthusiasm for our plans. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and we left feeling completely confident that we'd made the right decision. Over the next year and a half, Catherine became our catering manager, guiding us through every stage of the planning process. Communication was always fantastic, our tasting was seamless, and every question we had - especially around dietary requirements - was answered with confidence. It was clear from the beginning that every detail had been thought through. Our venue is set in a beautiful forest with no purpose built kitchen, meaning everything had to be brought in and set up from scratch. Watching the team arrive the day before and create a fully functioning kitchen was seriously impressive. Catherine also coordinated with our other suppliers in the lead up to the wedding to make sure everyone was working to the same timeline, something we hadn't expected but were incredibly grateful for. We wanted to give a special mention to Catherine herself. She is everything you could hope for in a wedding supplier - professional, calm, incredibly organised, and one of the warmest, kindest people we've ever met. She has a wonderful way of making you feel completely looked after, solving problems before you even know they exist, and ensuring everything runs effortlessly behind the scenes. We trusted her completely, and that meant we could simply enjoy our wedding day knowing we were in the very best hands. She is an absolute credit to The Little Kitchen Company. On the day itself, temperatures reached 29°C, but the entire team handled everything flawlessly. From keeping drinks flowing and adapting to the heat, to managing all of the food and service without needing to interrupt us, every decision was made with complete professionalism. They also looked after so much more than just the meal service - providing the staff, glassware and crockery, dressing the tables, serving our canapés, sharing starters and mains, evening Cornish pasties, and beautifully presenting everything. Everything was effortless from our perspective. And finally... the food. Absolutely outstanding. The sharing platters were perfect for our long banquet tables and exactly the relaxed, family-style meal we'd imagined. Every course was delicious, and our guests haven't stopped talking about it. The lamb and lemon potatoes deserve a special mention - we're still receiving compliments nearly 2 weeks later! We've genuinely lost count of the number of people who've told us it was some of the best wedding food they've ever had. Thank you to Catherine and every member of The Little Kitchen Company for helping create the most incredible day. Your professionalism, kindness and attention to detail made such a huge difference, and we couldn't recommend you more highly.

Jacaranda were a dream caterer to work with for our wedding. Our tasting day - held in a very sweet dedicated room at their offices - was amazing. They were always quick to respond as we built our requirements out, and suggested ideas. The range of tabletop hire available through them was perfect for us, and they kindly prepared our final choices in their offices for us to view in the flesh before selecting. The food on the day - from canapes to wedding breakfast to evening meal / snacks - was all excellent, with great feedback from all our guests (one of whom is a chef with a frank personality, so positive praise from him tells us something). My greatest sadness of the day is that the adrenaline didn't enable me to eat even more of it! We worked with Phern, Chermain, and Hannah in particular, with a special shout-out to Hannah for everything she did for us that day. Nothing was too much effort for her, including finding me an apron so I could enjoy the chocolate fountain in my dress, keeping an eye out in case I caught my dress on things (we had live candles), and fetching items for us to and fro from various rooms that had nothing to do with catering! e.g. my fur shawl before I went outside. It's the little things that really stick with you and make the day run seamlessly. Thanks team

Amazing wedding food! Our guests all raved about how this was the best wedding food they’ve had and several mentioned being interested in hiring these guys for future events. Timmy and Sam were so friendly and made the whole process very easy and straightforward. We loved that everyone could sample from the selection of tasty dishes rather than being limited to just one choice. We had a few guests with allergies / dietary requirements and this was also extremely well handled. Would highly recommend!

We cannot recommend Ross & Ross enough! From the initial tasting to the wedding day itself, the entire experience was fantastic. Our tasting with Vix was incredibly helpful, and we were blown away by both the quality of the food and the level of customisation offered. It’s rare to find caterers so willing to tailor a menu to your preferences, and the tasting left us incredibly excited for the big day. Kate and Tash were brilliant in the lead-up to the wedding. They were communicative, organised, and so helpful and flexible when we needed to make a few last-minute changes. They were also exceptionally accommodating of allergies and dietary requirements, which gave us real peace of mind as we had several guests requiring specific changes. The food on the day was every bit as good as the tasting, which is an incredible achievement when cooking for a large group. Everything was delicious and genuinely on par with what you’d expect from a great restaurant. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food, especially the millionaire potatoes! Ross & Ross played a huge part in making our wedding so special, and we would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional wedding catering.

Wow wow wow! What more can we say! Nyama were incredible at catering for our wedding day! Right from our first contact with George and the team, through to our tasting day, followed by our wedding day! The food was unreal - so many of our guests have said, this was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding! The team behind the food were just as brilliant too, honestly it was a joy to have them as part of our day. If you’re looking for wedding food that has bold flavours, lots of variety and is made with a lot of love, then you really do need to get Nyama as your caterers. We’re already looking forward to our anniversary so we can book in with the team at Nyama again!! Lots of Love The Duffy’s x

Dear Mike & team, We can't thank you all enough for the tremendous meal and service you provided for our wedding. We were truly impressed with the flavours and quality of the food and with the friendly but professional service from all the staff. Many of our guests came to tell us they had thoroughly enjoyed the food and that the sharing aspect was fun and as there were so many different dishes there was something for everyone. Personal favourites of ours were the aubergines, the incredible lamb and the saffron aioli, which we could have eaten by the buckets. Oh and the Pavlova was an absolute hit. My only regret is not having eaten more of everything as we were a bit distracted with the whole thing, but from the top table I could see everyone munching away happily! Thank you for being so flexible and accommodating to our wishes, like serving our own alcohol and coffee/tea, and for the extra help with moving furniture, keeping things tidy, etc. A huge thanks to Faith too, for all the back and forth emailing over the past months. Sadly neither of us got a chance to meet the chefs properly and to say thank you in person. Thanks again and all the best to you all, Francesca & Aarren

Exceptional service from start to finish. Mark, Carla and the wider team really could not have done more to make our wedding day feel very special. From early enquiries, to the (phenomenal) tasting evening to the wedding day itself we felt very well looked after and in safe, experienced hands. So many options to choose from, but we would fully endorse the Thai menu, the food was phenomenal. We would have no hesitation in recommending the team for a wedding and wish we could do the whole day again with them alongside us!

We hired Foodilic to cater for our wedding, the whole process was seamless and Marie was incredibly helpful with planning and ensuring the quantities were correct. We were on a fairly tight budget so we opted for a buffet but the quality of food was amazing. The food was so delicious, everyone loved it and the staff were so kind and friendly that they really helped make the event very special. Would definitely recommend for any event!

We had a great experience with El Asadazo, 10/10. Gustavo is very professional and friendly. He was also very responsive and we were able to discuss exactly what we wanted before the day of the catering. On the day, he set everything up and packed everything down very neatly. The actual meat was delicious and the service was very smooth in general. Would definitely recommend and be using the service again in future events!
