Cannot recommend enough!!

I can't recommend Centre Catering enough. Jeri and the team were amazing throughout the whole process of our wedding. All our guests enjoyed the food and the service. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for our special day and were so professional, we barely noticed they were there!

Amazing from start to finish!

The team at Centre Catering were fantastic from our first point of contact, all during the planning and on the day of our wedding. The food was incredible, full of flavour, lots of variety and the most delicious desserts. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing it all was. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone! A huge thank you to Dave and the team for making our day so special.

They have been fantastic with helping us on the big day with setting up our tables (making them look amazing) cutting the cake and delicious evening food! The staff were super friendly and attentive and I would highly recommend going with centre catering for any type of event.

Lovely wedding breakfast

We hired centre catering for our wedding in June and they were great from start to finish. They were so helpful and always quick to reply to questions. Most importantly the food was excellent, we were very happy with the quality of their service.

Above and beyond!

We got married in June 2024 and we are so happy that we picked Centre Catering for our food.
We always knew our wedding was going to be difficult to cater for as our little boy has quite a few severe allergies including nuts & eggs, this meant that we had to have a menu without any of the allergens. I spoke to Dave in the first instance and he listened to everything, what foods we could and couldn't have and all of my concerns. Dave made it clear that the safety of my child was absolute priority and he would build a menu for us so that we could have whatever we wished.
Dave went on to produce an absolutely delicious 4 course meal for our wedding day including a wide variety of canapes, 4 choices for the main and a build your own Eton mess with vegan meringues which was so good people were going back for seconds and thirds.
We also had a charcuterie for the evening part with lots of accompaniments which went down a treat.
We had so many compliments from our guests on the food!
For myself and my husband we cannot thank the team there enough and it was all we wanted from the day. To be able to relax all day and eat whatever we wanted meant ourselves and our little boy could just enjoy the day without worrying.
I hope to use Centre Catering again in the near future and would recommend to anyone for their wedding day or any type of celebration. Thank you again!

Day to be proud of

Great company to deal with. Right from the start they were very helpful and made it easy for us to select our menu. The service and food quality on our big day was excellent. Nothing was too much for Jeri, Dave and their team. Last minute changes were not an issue and they all pulled together to ensure everything was perfect. We would not hesitate to recommend Centre Catering as they exceeded our expectations. We are still getting compliments from our guests. Many thanks Paul & Boroo

Centre Catering

Centre catering catered our Wedding last September and they did an incredible job catering for the whole weekend Friday - Sunday with great flexibility and service throughout. We were able to choose literally anything we wanted for a Friday evening meal, Saturday and Sunday breakfasts and we had 150 guests for the wedding breakfast. The food is delicious with a home cooked feel and the staff were friendly and helpful - especially Turi who stepped in very last minute to cover sickness and was extremely calming and professional and up to date with all our plans despite no previous contact - thank you very much!

Fabulous wedding catering - thank you so much!

Dave, Jeri, Turi and the whole Centre Catering team were absolutely brilliant wedding suppliers to work with! They were so friendly and easy to talk to, they truly listened to what we wanted to achieve and found options for us that were within budget - advising where we could make cut costs to increase our budget elsewhere on food! The tasting was really great and they were always on hand in the run up to the wedding to answer any questions we had. On our wedding day, we were running a little behind schedule, Turi and her team were so flexible though that they just made it work seamlessly! All our guests raved about the Roast Dinner sharing platter we had as our main course and most importantly for us, Turi and her team really looked after my husband and I! They had set aside canapés just for us to make sure we got to eat which was so lovely. I’ve heard of so many couples that end up missing out on their own food because they are off doing photos and not around for the canapés! Turi made sure this didn’t happen and we are so pleased!

Thank you so much to the whole team.

Excellent from the first minute, absolutely recommend!

Centre Catering were excellent from our first contact, through to the end of our wedding event. Extremely responsive, flexible and Jeri is very detail conscious. Dave & the team were absolutely fabulous throughout our 3 day event, delicious food (the best ever beef wellington!) and excellent service. Many of our guests commented afterwards on how great the food was and how fabulous the CC team were. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them!! A huge thank you to all the team!

Centre Catering - 'The Pod' street food - day 2 of wedding


We chose Centre Catering to cater for the second day of our wedding & we couldn't have been happier. The vibe for our 'Day 2' was a relaxed one with guests coming back to the venue & marquee for some live music, games, food & drinks and we wanted our food to match that.

We opted for Centre Catering's street food option 'The Pod' street food van which served up mouth watering burgers & chips. The selection was incredible! This wasn't just a run of the mill burger with guests able to choose from a varied range of options such as brisket, scotch bonnet, veggie & chicken burgers.

Centre Catering were a dream to work with. Everything was so smooth and they were brilliant when it came to catering to special dietary requirements and working with me to add a few extras on to our menu for our guests, I can wholeheartedly say their mac & cheese is phenomenal!

Our guests are still talking about the food and how much they enjoyed it. We truly couldn't have asked for better.

Thank you to all the team at Centre Catering for the role you played in our wedding. We hope to be able to book you again soon!

Start to finish was a great help!

Centre catering we're excellent. Gave us loads of options for different food options and we're very flexible when it came to changing things all the way through. They link up with another company so we had everything we needed/wanted to furnish the venue just how we wanted it! Couldn't recommend them enough

Professional, delicious food and so friendly!

I used centre catering for my sister’s hen party which was a dinner with 11 girls - the food was delicious! They came in sorted everything out efficiently and left everything just how they left it. They were also very friendly - would definitely recommend!
