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."

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!

Easy deliciousness 😋

Sophie and Dave did a fabulous job catering our wedding. The whole process was easy and the food was delicious. Our guests (even the non vegans) all enjoyed the food, with one even commenting how surprised they were that we had beef burgers come out later on (they were vegan burgers). He said they were the best burgers he'd ever had! Sophie, Dave and their team were all so lovely, friendly, and professional as well. I don't plan on getting married again 😂 but if I did I'd definitely book them again!

Outstanding

If a vegetarian/vegan menu is what you are after for your wedding, look no further! Sophie and Dave provide an impeccable service that consistently goes above-and-beyond. The food was absolutely delicious; communication was brilliant and so efficient; and the service on the day of our wedding was outstanding. Sophie and Dave catered to every dietary requirement and were very attentive to allergies. We feel the catering was fairly priced for the quality of food and service offered. Sophie and Dave allowed us to create a bespoke menu and also to change our minds several times. Being offered a tasting session at their house exemplifies the passion and care Sophie and Dave have. Sophie and Dave are friendly, kind and supportive people and we wholeheartedly recommend Vegan Junkies. (One meat-eating guest asked if they had a restaurant!)

Thank you both so much, your involvement in our wedding day helped to make our visions a reality. L&O

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.

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

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.

We love Vegan Junkies!

We couldn't be happier with our choice of caterer! Sophie and Dave did a fantastic job from the first email down to the final pack-down. They were the perfect mix of friends and professional, and they always had what we wanted for our wedding day at the heart. The food was absolutely delicious, our non vegan guests loved it too! 10/10

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!

Bloody Wonderful

The Vegan Junkies were the absolute best! Everything you could have asked for in caterers and more, there was nothing that was too much of a problem. Highly recommend to everyone, the range of food they can cater from canapés to desserts, all incredible!

Made the Day!

We hired Sophie and Dave at Vegan Junkies for our Wedding this year on 8th of June. From day one they have been fantastic. They were very receptive to our choices initially and we had a lovely evening trying all the food we had chosen before our big day. On the day, Vegan Junkies knocked it out the park. We had a big contingency of non-vegan guests who were all blown away by the food. They looked the part and served the food as though we were fine dining. We want to get married again just to try all the food again (especially the Mac and Cheese Balls).
Thank you to Sophie and Dave for everything, they really made the day.

Number 1 Vegan Caterers

We could not recommend Sophie and Dave at Vegan Junkies more. From start to finish they were incredible. We were able to create a bespoke menu that suited our preferences perfectly. Sophie and Dave did everything to make sure our food suited all our guests, our taste buds and our budgets. We had multiple zooms to make sure we were happy and the tasting was such a special experience. For any bride and groom after the easiest catering experience, with caterers who will consistently go above and beyond, these guys are for you. Our vegan, vegetarian and carnivore guests were blown away by the food! A real highlight of our wedding!

Incredible Catering

Dave and Sophie catered my wedding and it couldn’t have been better! They are very talented chefs and very easy going and lovely to chat to. They were really helpful with creating a menu and guiding us through whole way. All the food tasted incredible and looked beautiful too.
We had some limitations with our venue in terms of not being able to have hot food catered externally, but we felt strongly about having Dave and Sophie cater our wedding and they went above and beyond. They provided an amazing menu even without hot food that was delicious and did not leave us or the guests desiring more. Some of the guests didn’t even realize the entire menu was vegan and the sausage rolls were a crowd favorite.

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!
