Brilliant wedding catering experience

Great experience with Ridgway who catered our wedding at Dunwood Hall in September 2024. Throughout the planning process they were really responsive, happy to answer all our questions and supported us with some last minute changes. The food itself on the day was delicious. Fabulous canopes, amazing 3 course dinner and then pizzas and buffet in the evening. Everything was great and we had so many compliments. We even had some guests say it was the best beef they had ever had! They also provided all our drinks and a bar in the evening so everything was seamless. Great service all around, thank you for making our day so special!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We couldn’t be happier with Ridgway Caterers. The food was exceptional - every guest commented on how delicious their meal was, and everything was beautifully presented. The team went above and beyond to make sure everyone was looked after, paying special attention to those with dietary requirements. They truly couldn’t have done more, and we’re so grateful for their care and professionalism from the minute we made our initial enquiry. Thank you for helping make our day so special! Thank you again! Mr & Mrs Savage

Excellent food and friendly, helpful staff

Ridgway Caterers were 10/10 and superb from the moment we enquired about having them for our wedding. They were always super helpful on email and booking them was really easy. Everyone we dealt with was very professional and couldn't do enough to help us. We had canapes and then a BBQ and pizza buffet which was high quality fresh food. The staff on the day were efficient and friendly and kept checking in with us that we were okay and eating enough. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the food and there was plenty of choice for everyone, including veggies and vegans. Would highly recommend Ridgway's to any engaged couple. Their professionalism and friendliness really stood out for us!

The guests said it was the best food they have ever eaten at a wedding!

We were really impressed with the staff and food at Ridgway. They were quick to answer emails, happy for us to make changes to dishes, and were always supportive and helpful. The tasting was a lovely experience with great quality food and friendly staff. On the day itself, the staff were professional and approachable as well as the food being great value for money with big portion sizes. The guests said it was the best food they have ever eaten at a wedding. We cannot recommend Ridgway more to future couples. Thank you for everything! :-)

Fantastic service & delicious food! The ultimate professionals!

We contacted Ridgway to cater for our marquee wedding. From the initial interaction, to the tasting, to the communication from Laura, to setting up the tables the day before, the service on the day and the food. Everything was incredible.

The tasting you were allowed to choose from a great selection, and Ridgway were so accommodating when we wanted to change one of their canapé options to a starter instead. The service and food we received at the tasting was brilliant. We took my nan and she loved the entire experience.

Laura was fantastic on email supporting the table plans and accommodating any dietary requirements. She helped so much and was quick to respond to any questions I had.

The caterers arrived the day before to bring linen and crockery and they set the tables which looked amazing. They were so professional.

On the day the service and food was incredible. Everyone loved the food. Thank you so much to the wonderful team! Everything was like clock-work and they made sure me and Rob had a chance to have some canapés. Huge thanks to Kim as well who moved the wedding cake with no hesitation, incredible!

We can't thank you enough

What can I say other than incredible! We booked Ridgway catering for our wedding in Cheshire and the team were brilliant. The food was utterly sensational. We had every single guest at our big day comment on it being the best wedding meal they had ever had. Cannot recommend them highly enough, their attention to detail is amazing, no ask too big. They made our special day the event of a lifetime, thank you from the Joneses

The most amazing wedding day EVER

Ridgway catered for our wedding and they were absolutely fantastic. We truly could not say enough good things about them. Throughout the whole preparation process Natalie and Gerald helped us with every question and change of mind imaginable and never once said no. We could tell they take a lot of pride in their business and really care about offering their clients the best possible experience.

We only had our venue for an hour before the reception and we were doing the set-up ourselves. Other caterers turned us down because of this but Gerald, Natalie and their team accepted the challenge and were superstars. Everything ran smoothly on the day, set-up and tear-down with the team went off without a hitch, and the food was genuinely wonderful. Our guests had lots of compliments on the food and the desserts - the chocolate brownie especially was a huge hit with the children.

Overall we owe a HUGE thank you to the Ridgway team for all of their hard work! We had a wonderful celebration, and we would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for catering.

Quality food and friendly staff!

I cannot recommend Ridgways enough. They catered our wedding last month and I honestly can't fault them. They made it feel that we were dealing with friends from the very start, which helped keep me sane during the wedding preparations! They were so easy to talk to, and were so knowledgeable and able to provide advice on anything we weren't sure of.
The food quality is second to none, and we had so many compliments from our guests on the food too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone, and I couldn't imagine going to anyone else for any other event I needed catering. Thank you so much guys!!!

Best wedding food we have ever had!

Ridgway provided the catering for our wedding at our House in a Marquee on 28.06.24, and we can’t recommend them highly enough! The food and service were exceptional, and so many of our guests commented that it was some of the best wedding food they’d ever had. They also managed to accommodate all of our (many!) special dietary requirements with ease.

From the very beginning, they were a pleasure to work with—always easy to contact and quick to answer our questions. The food tasting experience was fantastic, and even our last-minute menu changes were handled without any trouble.
A huge thank you to the entire team for helping make our day so special!
