Booked for Other Event

We used Spudford and Sons to cater for a wake and they were absolutely excellent! They provided jacket potatoes with a selection of toppings and everything was spot on. The food was great, well organised and exactly what we needed on the day. They are a lovely father and son team: polite, warm, professional and really easy to deal with. They arrived when expected, set everything up without any fuss, and left everything clean and tidy afterwards. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for straightforward, good quality catering from people who clearly care about doing a proper job.

Booked for Corporate Function

Lukasz was amazing. He was very kind, friendly and responsive. We had a corporate booking with him and he was very understanding of allergens and dietary requirements such as halal and vegan. Our office really liked him and his team and we will definitely book him again. Highly recommend

Booked for Private party

Great organisation from the start, although I was mistakenly under the impression that Lukasz himself would be attending until the day before. Clear messaging, prompt arrival and setup. Most importantly the food was AMAZING. I would have the food every weekend if I could. Everybody went back for seconds and additional complimentary food was also provided, including starters and desserts. Would definitely use this provider again. House was left tidy and despite a miscommunication on my side about the total cost, the guys were professional and reliable. 10 out of 10!!

Booked for Birthday party

Arrived on time, friendly staff, everyone enjoyed the food one comment was maybe to have gravy to dunk, but everyone loved the excellent crackling!! Would recommend

Booked for Private party

What a lovely experience. The food was delicious and very well prepared. The ladies were amazing. So friendly and obviously cared about their product and the way they prepared and presented it. We had a large family gathering in a field on a farm and they brought an extra Ray of sunshine into the proceedings. Even after we had all eaten they prepared extras for us to use later or another day despite them having travelled 3 hours to get to us .... Bravo Ladies...Respect...would definitely use them again
