Rupert it was a delight to have you be part of our special day. A true professional from the beginning. The food was wonderful, we also very much appreciated the plastic trays to take a few bits home at the end. Good value for money and we will definitely be recommending for other events.

"We used marmite catering for the first time for our annual Christmas get together and were so impressed with the food and the service. From the word go, Ian went out of his way to accommodate all our needs and was very quick to respond to any query. The menu choices offered were fantastic and really catered for all the guests. Everyone truly enjoyed the food. I would recommend marmite catering do anyone hosting an event and I certainly will be using them again."
