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!

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.

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!!!

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.

Our Wedding Day Pig n Pizza providers

From start to finish Ridgeway Caterers were , professional, friendly and always on hand to answer questions and advise honestly.

The food was so tasty and fresh and the staff were so happy for us and our guests, taking a genuine interest in everyone and our day .

The prices were very reasonable and there was no effort in having to decide things, they were there every step of the way. There was no rush in payments either everything was so relaxed .

On the day myself and my Fiancé had been so busy checking our guests were ok that we hadn't got around to eating our evening pizza , we went to pick up some slices and the caterers insisted we had a fresh serving .

Afterwards they boxes up remaining food for our guests.

We had lovely feedback from our guests at the food, they loved the pork baps we had earlier in the day and allergens and dietary requirements were all accommodated and there were even extra portions they had for one of our toddler guests

Thank you for making our day wonderful!

Ridgeways were by far one of the best suppliers used at our wedding! The food was incredible, the service was on time and professional. Many people commented how good the food was, especially the oatcake starter that we chose.

The portions served are great, you get plenty of food for your money and nobody left hungry!

The communication beforehand was amazing, response times were quick and information was relayed easily and thoroughly. I would highly recommend!

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 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! :)

Huge Thank You

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for helping to make our wedding day so special. The canapés and wedding breakfast were so nice, we had lots of great feedback from our guests. It all ran very smoothly and we really appreciate all the hard work that went into it before the day and on the day itself. And achieving all of that with such a tiny kitchen area too is amazing!

We would definitely recommend you to anyone looking for caterers for an event!

Thanks again for everything,

Natalie & Steve
