Booked for Birthday party

Ed from Fed by Ed was prompt, polite, professional and very friendly. Nothing was too much hassle and he even poured us drinks. Our kitchen was left spotless and there was no washing up to do. Really enjoyable experience

Booked for Hen party

Can't fault the chef alan was great however I think the food for the amount of money possibly didn't quite match up. Also the chicken main could have done with some sort of sauce

Booked for Birthday party

We would highly recommend Simon James Catering. The food and service was outstanding. We were celebrating my mums birthday in an igloo and the food topped the whole evening off. We would definitely hire again!

Booked for Celebration

We booked simply good food for my sisters hen party and I don’t know where to start... they where amazing: professional, super tasty, and they made the whole experience completely stress free which was a big concern as I had never hired private caterers before. I have only good things to say about simply good food also I would highly recommend the waitressing service. You get an absolute steal with what they charge and top quality food! Thank you again for making my sister hen a fantastic time I’m over the moon with the whole meal! Rebecca.

For your next special event allow me to wow you and your guests with this beautifully plated four-course meal that starts with a selection of handcrafted canapés. Born and raised in deepest rural Devon on a wholesale nursery, I have been accustomed to the wonderful hamper of delicious fruits and vegetables that delight us all year round from an extensive kitchen garden. I now bring this to every kitchen I enter, cooking for guests on their special occasions, making it a memorable event.
