Booked for Wedding

We booked Asad and Vegan Spice for the evening before our wedding on three weeks notice after our previous supplier dropped out. Asad was exceptional from the start. He provided us with an immediate quote and was very proactive in communication - even providing me with some taste-tests when I went to visit him at an event in Leeds. On the day, Asad was also brilliant. The food was served on time, the portion sizes were excellent and all guests that I spoke to raved about the food - in particular the samosas! We were also at an eco-venue with limited electricity so the fact that Vegan Spice is self-sufficient is a big positive as well. I would recommend Vegan Spice and Asad for any event that you could think of - delicious food with excellent service.

Kaz did a superb job for our wedding reception. We had plenty of guests who were served promptly - Heavenly Crepes really suited the informal atmosphere we wanted for our guests, many of who went up a few times! Lots of comments had on how delicious the crepes were. Food allergies were catered for with no fuss. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and may book again.

We recently had Heavenly Crepes cater the evening food at our wedding, and they were absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, Kaz impressed us with their flexibility. They were happy to work around our specific needs and preferences, ensuring everything fit perfectly to our needs - we picked the flavours from an extensive list (although we went very simple - lemon and sugar, Nutella, Nutella and strawberries), and Kaz was more than willing to quote us for an additional server, and even extended their serving hours free of charge. Poptop’s messaging function was a bit glitchy, but Kaz put up with me accidentally sending the same message through about 20 times(!). On the wedding day itself, the Heavenly Crepes team were phenomenal. The servers were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure all our guests were well-fed and happy. But the true star of the show was, of course, the crepes! Although we were too distracted and didn’t get a crepe ourselves, we received countless compliments from our guests about how amazing they were.

The communication was brilliant throughout and the team on the day were superb. The food was spectacular and so many of our guests have commented just how good the food was.

"Absolutely fantastic food and lovely ladies! The food went down so well with our guests at the wedding we have had people asking how they can get more! The only criticism we have is regarding cutlery. No knives were provided making it a little tricky for some of our guests to eat the jerk chicken. We had plenty of knives of our own however it would have been a little smoother if they were included at the time. The fact that is our ONLY criticism should be evidence of just how amazing these ladies are. A massive thank you again to Debs and her team. P.s. The dumplings were the best bit!"
