Booked for Wedding

Lukasz was great with all our requests for dietary requirements and was quick and efficient with communication before the wedding and offered a lot of options. Once there, he was very discreet on the preparations, but the tables were incredible! He made a separate vegan and vegetarian table as we requested, and all the food was very good quality and beautifully presented, we got a lot of compliments. He is also a very lovely person and a pleasure to speak to, I just wish we had had a bit more time for conversing on our very busy day! For an idea of sizes and contents, the photo I have uploaded was of the vegan table for twenty people, I'm still waiting for someone to send me the one for the omnivores, but I can assure you it was beautiful and super tasty!

Booked for Celebration

What a great success! Oaktop Catering laid on a buffet lunch for 16 adults and 5 young children on Good Friday at the house our family had rented near Rockbeare. Beforehand, Melinda was so helpful in helping to sort out the best menu for the adults and children. On the day, she and Ryun arrived early so that everything was ready in plenty of time. Throughout the day, they were so helpful and accommodating - nothing was too much trouble. And they cleared up everything immaculately at the end. So a sincere 'Thank you' from all my extended family! Highly recommended! Ben M
