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 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!

The most perfect supplier for our wedding day!

The entire process from start to finish was just impeccable! Communication was amazing, the choice of food and menus is just insane and honestly - its hard to choose! The best, most romantic tasting evening and literally the day was executed perfectly! True professionals and everyone loved it!
We had a choice of canapes during our drinks reception which went down a treat and although we wanted a 'sit down wedding breakfast' we still wanted something a little different and more relaxed! The BBQ was just perfect, all served to our tables, beautifully presented and was so social. The most special part of the day was sitting back and watching our guests share plates and enjoy such amazing food family style!!!
The evening we had pizzas which literally you cannot order enough off! Just perfect!! Thank you guys so much! :)

A Key Supplier being Friendly & Easy to deal with

Absolutely fantastic service from a local catering company. We opted for a autumnal meal of bangers & mash with apple pie and custard. What a huge success all our guests were well fed & hugely delighted. The meal was well presented. As for the staff, couldn't ask for anything better they worked with me, professionally & understood all my amendments and delivered more than I could expect.

Wow, what a fantastic service we had from Ridgeway caterers, our wedding was enhanced by the fabulous food and service provided by their team. The food was superb and our guests are still complimenting us over a fortnight after the event. We would highly recommend Ridgeway without a shadow of doubt and would like to thank all of their team again for making our wedding such a fantastic event.

Wedding July 2024

We were thoroughly impressed with Ridgeway’s catering services. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was impeccable. The team worked seamlessly with the venue, and we appreciated the use of high-quality cutlery and tableware.

While there was a slight miscommunication regarding flexibility, which caused some initial stress, the issue was resolved to our satisfaction. The final outcome was excellent, and we were very happy with the overall experience.

We highly recommend Ridgeway for any catering needs.
