Booked for Christmas party
From start to finish my experience with Lukasz was 5 star. I was arranging a Christmas party for 150 people and so needed to make sure the catering was special. I was a little nervous using someone new but Lukasz's reviews were so good I felt confident to take the chance and I am so glad I did. The constant communication kept me at ease, the fact he happily catered for so many dietary requirements was a huge plus, and, when the day arrived - everything was taken care of and the food was sensational. I've had nothing but great comments from everyone and it was so fun to do something different. Thank you so much Lukasz, I won't hesitate to use you again!!!! Have a great Christmas.

Absolutely fantastic service from Feals Catering. I’ve had so many compliments from my guests with regard to Feals burgers and Mehran and his family. Superb service. Great at keeping in touch and adaptable to last minute changes. Also they catered for alternative food choices and allergies,

Booked for Private party
All ~150 attendees of the event greatly enjoyed all the food provided, so much so that the vast majority had seconds or even thirds! Professional, yet friendly staff, well-prepared food and a quality stall. Well worth the price.
We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies
We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
There’s a fiercely independent spirit in Bristol that’s completely infectious. It’s a city that marches to the beat of its own drum, a vibrant hub of creativity, community, and forward-thinking ideas. This unique character makes it an absolutely brilliant place to throw an outdoor party.
From eco-weddings in hillside parks to creative offsites in studio yards, an event in Bristol is an opportunity to do things a little differently. And at the heart of any great Bristolian get-together is the food: thoughtful, delicious, and often with a proud focus on local and sustainable produce.
As event professionals who love Bristol’s unique vibe, we know that finding the right caterer is key to capturing that spirit. Organising an outdoor event can seem complex, but we’re here to show you that it can be a straightforward and genuinely creative process. Consider this your insider's guide to finding some truly gurt lush grub for your outdoor do.
Bristol's Best Backdrops: Where to Host Your Outdoor Event
Bristol is a city of stunning views, hidden green spaces, and cool industrial spots. This variety gives you a fantastic choice of settings for your event, each with its own distinct atmosphere.
Harbourside Spaces: The iconic Floating Harbour is the beating heart of the city. Hiring a space along the waterfront provides a stunning, quintessentially Bristolian backdrop for anything from a corporate harbour evening to a lively cider-garden party.
Allotment-Style Gardens: Bristol is full of community gardens and green pockets. These spaces offer a rustic, relaxed, and wonderfully sustainable setting for a community arts event or an eco-wedding, surrounded by nature right in the city.
Studio Yards: Tapping into the city's creative core, the courtyards and yards of studios in areas like Stokes Croft or Bedminster provide an edgy, urban canvas for your event. They’re perfect for brand launches, creative offsites, or a pop-up market.
Hillside Parks: Bristol isn’t exactly flat! The city’s many hillside parks offer breathtaking views and a sense of escape. A spot in a park like Brandon Hill or Victoria Park is ideal for a larger gathering, a family celebration, or a relaxed company picnic.
With your perfect patch of Bristol picked out, you can start thinking about the food that will bring your event to life.

Curated suppliers
All Poptop’s suppliers are rigorously vetted and approved by our team of party experts, ensuring you book the very best.
Sustainably Sourced Seafood: With the coast just a short trip away, it’s no surprise that Bristol boasts fantastic seafood. Think fresh fish tacos, grilled mackerel, or classic fish and chips, all from suppliers who can tell you exactly where your meal came from. It’s a perfect fit for a sophisticated harbour evening.
Veggie & Vegan-Forward Street Food: Bristol is a paradise for plant-based food lovers. You’ll find an incredible array of caterers serving up inventive and globally inspired vegetarian and vegan street food. From loaded plant-based burgers to vibrant Buddha bowls, you can create a menu that’s both ethical and mouth-wateringly good.
West Country BBQ & Slaws: This is a BBQ with a distinct local accent. Imagine locally reared pork, Somerset cider glazes, and an array of creative, crunchy slaws and salads. It’s a hearty, sociable, and delicious option that’s perfect for a relaxed cider-garden party or a big family get-together.
What's the Quid? A Look at Bristol Catering Prices
Knowing your numbers is key to a well-planned event. For top-quality outdoor catering in Bristol, you can generally expect to pay between £12 and £26 per person.
In the more budget-friendly £12–£17 per head bracket, you'll find an excellent choice of single-offering caterers. This is the ideal price point for hiring a fantastic vegan street food van, a gourmet toastie stand, or a top-notch ice cream tricycle. It’s a simple and effective way to feed guests at a community event or an informal party.
If you have a budget in the £17–£26+ per head range, your options expand significantly. This can cover a full West Country BBQ experience with multiple meat and plant-based options and a variety of sides, a multi-course buffet featuring sustainably sourced seafood, or hiring a couple of different caterers to give your guests a choice. You’re investing in more variety, more complexity, and a fuller dining experience.
