Booked for Celebration

We paid a bit extra for the on-site service and both staff were very polite and tidy! All food was finished by our guests. We were a little disappointed with the arancini, but otherwise very happy with the food.

Booked for Christmas party

The food was amazing and very well presented. I think it was so good that we actually ran out of food and in hindsight I would have ordered more food. The portion sizes are just about enough per person. We had a lot more people attend so should have ordered more food. I myself had a few of the canapés and thought they were so tasty. I highly recommend them and if we do another event next year I’ll be back albeit ordering for the full amount of people rather than under catering as the event was so popular. Thanks for contributing to making the event a success!

Booked for Celebration

We had a fantastic 4-course set menu prepared by Aairon and his team. Great communication pre-meal to cater for our preferred menu, came in and executed delightful food with a smile and left the place cleaner than when it started! We really enjoyed his food which was fine dining restaurant quality. His team were very nice and happy to chat or keep out of the way as required. Couldn’t recommend him enough. Thanks!

"Alice was fantastic; We hired her catering services for our annual photo-shoot with Colin Montgomerie for our website and magazine and she offered an extensive range of food for us to choose our menu from and was easy to communicate details with. We chose 3 options of pastries, salads and cakes which the team agreed were all fantastic. Thanks for everything Alice! Kind regards, The EWM team"
