Vegan Junkies Wedding Caterers, aka Sophie & Dave, are natural vegan foodies based in Shropshire who provide deliciously addictive wedding catering anywhere in the UK.

Sophie says, "We know how important it is for a vegan bride and groom to impress their non-vegan family and friends - 95% of the guests we ever cater for are non-vegan and the feedback we get from them is overwhelmingly upbeat and positive".

Dave says, "We love chatting with a bride and groom, on the phone or on zooms, so we can understand exactly what is important to them, not just the food, but the whole vibe. We can then design a bespoke menu that is exciting for them and with a style of service that suits the mood of their big day. And once you book with Vegan Junkies we invite you to our home for a tasting session to sample your full menu."

Vegan Junkies are friendly and professional, excellent communicators and with masses of catering experience. Get in touch now for example menus with crytsal clear pricing and no hidden costs.

Perfect vegan catering

We had the junkies for our wedding in Sept 2024 (150 people) and couldn't have been more pleased that we went with them. Soph and Dave were brilliant right from the start. They were really flexible and creative at helping us craft a menu that showcased the sort of vegan food we love, but also came in at an affordable budget. Communication was great throughout the process, using email, whatsapp and zoom meetings whenever they were needed them, and Dave and Soph are so relaxed and friendly, it felt more like working on something with a couple of (very capable) friends.

After we’d booked them, we went to visit them in Shropshire for a tasting (a nice part of the country - we made a mini-break of the trip) which was one of the first things that got us really excited about the wedding and allowed us to finalise the menu, and see how amazingly delicious their food is. Some of the things I was unsure would work well vegan (e.g. arancini balls) were actually amazing! Our guests (predominantly non vegans) agreed, and we had lots of people telling us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. We had a mix of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and asian food, served on large platters on the tables so guests could help themselves to the things they liked best, which worked really well.

Our wedding was in a family garden rather than a venue, and we didn’t hire a wedding planner, so there were lots of logistics we had to consider and manage ourselves, and Dave and Soph were really helpful in helping us think through everything (e.g. crockery and glassware hire, power requirements, layout of the catering gazebo, timings on the day etc). Their advice and experience was invaluable even for things not related to catering - we hired a generator and Dave was able to lend a hand and his knowledge in getting it all set up etc. They came down a couple of days in advance to get everything ready and start preparing food, and again they were so relaxed and helpful, it was great to have them around in those final couple of manic days - it meant that we were confident that, whatever else happened, the food was something we didn’t need to worry about. On the day, we got a bit bit behind schedule with our photos, but Soph and Dave and their team were easily able to adapt, pushing service time back a bit and still get everything served hot and delicious.

In short, the food was the highlight of our wedding, and Soph and Dave were brilliant to work with. Thankyou!

Made our lives easy

We absolutely cannot recommend Dave and Sophie enough. They are so friendly and so relaxed whilst always being professional, responsive, and honestly making everything easy for us. We were tricky customers with very specific/niche requests (certain recipes from Nepal, etc) and Dave and Sophie just took it in their stride and went well above and beyond expected. They were one supplier we never had to worry about as they always had everything in hand and were always one step ahead of us. They really thought everything through, and really put us at ease when they arrived on site too, helping iron out last minute details and adjustments, always with a smile and warmth and relaxed nature even when we ourselves were in a total state of chaos! The food was of course incredibly delicious, everyone commented on how special it was, our only regret is not asking them to do the canapes as well! You will not regret booking vegan junkies- we are recommending them to everyone.

Delicious vegan food that all your guests will love

Based on excellent reviews, Vegan Junkies was the first thing I booked for our July 2024 wedding and I’m so happy that I did. The food was just as wonderful as all the reviews state, and even the non-vegans are still talking about how delicious it was. Thank you Sophie and Dave for helping to make our day so special.

Completely recommend!

Dave & Sofe catered for our wedding in May and the everything was beyond incredible. They were so helpful from start to finish with helping us figure out what we wanted and making last minute changes. The food was insane, vegans & non-vegans have been raving about it since the day. We cannot recommend vegan junkies highly enough, such lovely people who are amazing at what they do!

That's it, you've found your caterers!

If you are looking for real good food, made and served by nice people, that all your guests will enjoy, search no further!
Sophie and Dave didn't just cooked amazing food for our wedding in Scotland, they were also really helpful with the planning and organisation from the moment we contacted them, to the day we left the venue.
We were the only vegan at our wedding, but all our guests were impressed with the food, and we got praises even from the most reluctant ones!
Vegan Junkies are the golden cherry on top of all your event, they definitely made our wedding reception memorable.

Great people & Great food

Dave and Sophie welcomed us in to their home for tasters for our wedding. The quality, quantity and flavour absolutely wowed us. We went for a Mezze menu. They asked us if we'd like to make any amendments which we only had 1 small change which they were happy to make. Wonderful people to deal with, no stress at all. Everyone was full & happy on our big day. 10/10 would absolutely recommend!

Simply the best

What can I say about Sophie & Dave at Vegan Junkies?
Quite honestly they are simply the best!
They were the absolute perfect choice for our wedding and all of our guests (most of whom are not vegan at all) raved about the food!!
Not only was the food fantastic, Sophie & Dave and the loveliest of people. From emails, to our first zoom call to finally meeting on the day, they could not have been more accommodating to our vision and needs.
We would not hesitate to recommend them and we will definitely be considering them again for future events!
Thank you so much Vegan Junkies for making our wedding so special! :)

Best Wedding Vegan Food Ever!

We couldn’t be happier that we choose Vegan Junkies for our wedding – over and above the food (which was awesome!) they put so much effort into the making the day flow smoothly so we and the guests could focus on having the best day ever.
In particular I am omnivorous and my wife is vegan and after multiple calls with mixed caterers who mainly focused on various versions of dull salads and/or carrots for vegans we made the decision to go fully vegan (and so glad we did!). Was also exciting for my wife to finally go to a wedding where she could eat all the canapés!
In particular as the vast majority of the wedding party was non-vegan, and we’re fully vegan at home thought it was a great opportunity to showcase how awesome and delicious vegan food can be!
From the moment they booked they made everything so calm and pleasant from start to finish.
The first call they talked us through menu ideas (and all sounded fantastic) and we settled on:
Canapes: Samosas, Mini Sausage Rolls (My wife’s favourite), and Mac & Cheese Balls
Starter: Meze Sharing Platter
Main: Vegan Wellington with Vegetable
We then went for a lovely meal at their home where they cooked all the various options and a lot of empty plates later, we were more confident then ever that we’d chosen the perfect caterer.
In the build-up to the wedding the venue (which had a set of rules and regulations more complicated than an average insurance policy!) kept throwing up restrictions and new rules and at every turn Sophie and Dave handled it calmly and can’t underline what a huge help this was to lower the pre-wedding stress levels.
On the day itself despite the venue being in Somerset they assembled an absolute dream team, and you could see when Dave and Sophie were briefing the team how professional focused, and kind they were to all the team members and got them really excited about the day – all of them were excellent throughout.
For the food itself I can think of no higher praise than seeing a great swathe of people who all rolled their eyes at a ‘vegan wedding’ – happily gobbling down delicious Samosas, Sausage rolls and Mac & Cheese balls! My Dad in particular! Everyone commented on how delicious the food was throughout the day and super glad we both went fully vegan and found the wonderful vegan junkies!
I cannot recommend Sophie and Dave enough for your big day regardless of how many non-vegans are attending. If we could get married again, we’d definitely re-book them!

Perfect food and lovely people!

Booking Vegan Junkies to cater our wedding was easily one of the best decisions we made. Sophie and Dave took the time to get to know our tastes and personality before expertly crafting the perfect meal, both for the wedding breakfast, and street-style evening food. They invited us to a tasting at their lovely home and we were treated as if we were old friends in every step of the process. The team they brought with them to the wedding were fantastic and alongside providing excellent food and service, they helped out wherever they could during the day, bringing a calm, confident presence whilst adapting to changing time-schedules seamlessly. Months down the line, we still get comments from friends and family about how incredibly tasty every single dish was! Thank you both so much for your instrumental contribution to our fantastic wedding - we would recommend Vegan Junkies to cater any event in a heartbeat!

Lovely people and delicious food!

We wanted a simple lunch for our wedding day and Vegan Junkies were brilliant from our initial enquiry, discussing options through to preparing and delivering a delicious lunch for all of us, including our gluten-free guests.

Perfect catering for our fully vegan wedding!

Dave and Sophie catered for our wedding in August this year and we couldn't be happier with how amazing the food was for our special day! After being let down by another caterer a few months prior, we were so happy to have found Vegan Junkies, and from day 1 they were so helpful, thoughtful and did everything they could to make the catering a success at our wedding. With us both being vegan, we wanted to use this opportunity to show our (nearly all non-vegan) guests how amazing vegan food can be, and Dave and Sophie did not let us down at all - we had so many amazing comments on the food afterwards, with many people having their opinions changed on vegan food! Vegan Junkies catered for our wedding breakfast, evening food (pizzas!) and breakfast the next day - it was all perfect.

We met with them both online and in-person to put together a menu that we were really excited about, and from then on we did not ever need to worry about the catering as Vegan Junkies took all the stress away from us. For anyone looking for incredible vegan catering for any event, I would absolutely recommend Vegan Junkies - their passion for what they do shines through and it was so lovely for us to meet with two people who share our values for good food and veganism!

Fab vegan food!

We booked Sophie and Dave for our wedding of 100 guests and they were fantastic in every aspect. They catered to all the guests needs, including the ones with obscure allergies! They worked very hard to make sure that all of the food was served timely and hot, even though there were a large number of guests. The food was delicious and we got lots of positive feedback from even our non-vegan guests! We would definitely recommend them. If you book them for canapés then the mac and cheese balls are to die for! Sophie and Dave also provided the bar at our wedding with two lovely staff members and all the guests loved it. We got any pictures of the food as we were too busy enjoying it, but we have got a picture of a happy Dave!

Amazing service and food!

Sophie and Dave were brilliant from the moment we contacted them. We'd had problems with our first caterer and had to cancel so booked with Vegan Junkies with relatively short notice. Their communication from first contact was brilliant, very helpful and quick to respond.

Our venue had no catering equipment and could not even plug in to the mains but this didn't faze Sophie and Dave and they dealt with all the problems without us having to worry.

The food itself was unreal. We had canapés for the drinks reception, pie and mash for the wedding breakfast and pizza for the evening food. Our guests loved the food with many saying they couldn't believe vegan good could be so good. The star of the show was the mac and cheese balls which were served at the evening reception!

We would highly recommend Vegan Junkies for amazing food but also for Sophie and Dave who are wonderful.

Fantastic Wedding Catering

Sophie and Dave recently catered our wedding and I cannot speak highly enough about everything they did for us.

When it came to look for caterers, my husband being veggie really wanted to serve a full veggie menu. In looking for caterers we were initially uninspired about the veggie choices on offer but then we found Vegan Junkies and it was exactly what we were looking for. As are wedding was non- traditional in many ways, we wanted to have a more traditional sit down wedding meal and so opted for Pie, Mash and Gravy - what a perfect wedding day meal!

The initial consultations and food tasting was a brilliant experience and none of our questions or needs felt like too much trouble.

In the run up to the wedding, Dave and Sophie were so responsive via email every time we had a question or query to iron out. They also contacted our venue themselves and worked out their requirements/how the kitchen worked etc which really put our mind at ease and gave us less to worry about.

When it came to the wedding itself, the food was fantastic and everything ran so so seamlessly. Sophie and Dave clearly have a very professional and organised set up. It was so so lovely to see our family enjoy vegan food - I have tried to cook my family tofu many times and they maintain they hated but they loved the sweet chilli tofu canapes. The evening food was also wonderful- we had nachos/mexican rice bowls and one guest said it was the best food he has ever had at a wedding!

From start to finish, Sophie and Dave were truly wonderful and were such a part of making our wedding day special - couldn't recommend them enough.

Friendly, professional, just lovely all round

YUM! We were lucky to have Vegan Junkies cater our wedding in July 2024 and a month later, we're still thinking about how delicious everything was. Every one of our guests, which included vegans, non-vegan, gluten-intolerants, fussy kids and many more, loved everything served up on our big day, from the wonderful canapes and incredible family-style dinner, to tasty puddings and amazing evening food. Sophie and Dave were always available if we had any questions during the planning phase and truly couldn't do any more to ensure we had the perfect day. We'd recommend Vegan Junkies to everyone and just really really hope we cross paths at a future wedding so that we can enjoy some more of that incredible food! Thank you again, Sophie and Dave x
