10/10 wedding caterers

We booked with The Granary and had Kearneys Catering as our caterers. We couldn't have asked for more. Garry was incredibly flexible with any changes we made or adjustments for dietary requirements. The food was absolutely delicious, and we received so many compliments on the menu. We had a three-course meal with canapés, and everything was exquisite. The staff were professional and helpful throughout. We also had a BBQ the evening before the wedding, which was such a lovely idea, and we were thrilled that Kearneys Catering could accommodate this for us. We couldn't recommend them more highly!

We had our wedding at the Granary in February and Kearney’ catering was amazing! The food was delicious and all our guests raved about it and still do to this day! All members of staff did a fantastic job and cooked and catered to all our needs even to the point one of our photographers forgot to mention she was vegan and they was able to provide food with no issues. Such a great company to deal with and nothing was a problem. Would 100% recommend.

Thank you so much!

Our guests were blown away by the brilliant food at our wedding - the canapés were a real highlight and we had so many compliments from guests throughout the day, and in the weeks following. We loved working with Garry to come up with the perfect menu for our wedding, he really listened to what we wanted and made some excellent recommendations. One of the best things for us was how accommodating they were with allergies/intolerances - they made sure everyone was catered for!

Garry was really helpful

Garry, Dave and the entire team at Kearney's are fantastic. I would highly recommend them for any event catering. We have used them multiple times for various functions but most recently our wedding. Everything from the canapés to the pizza in the evening was delicious and we had great comments from all of our guests.

Thank you Garry and Team!

We had Kearney's as the caterers for our wedding in May 2023. Planning and support running up to the day was great, Attention to detail and communication during our wedding was perfect and the food delicious. Lots of our guests commented on how good the food was, which was really pleasing as getting a menu to suit most tastes can be a challenge. The Kearney's team were a big part of creating the perfect day.

Thank you so much Garry and your team

Kearney's catered our wedding at The Great Barn in July, and they were absolutely fabulous! The whole planning process with Garry was completely easy and stress-free, he was very helpful and approachable. Garry helped us to create the perfect menu for our wedding, from the canapes, to the wedding breakfast and then the evening food. On the day, the service delivered by the whole team was fantastic, all the staff were so professional and helped to ensure the day ran both smoothly and on time.

We cannot thank you enough!

Kearney's catered our wedding at The Great Barn a couple of weeks ago and were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Garry was so helpful throughout the entire process and the whole team were so professional and friendly on the day itself. The set up of the wedding breakfast room was beautiful and exactly as we had envisioned, and within five minutes of everyone being seated for the meal...hot food was served! All of our guests are still complimenting the food which is all down to the team!

What is your most memorable wedding?

We catered for the most beautiful wedding during the summer of 2023 at a gorgeous marquee venue in the heart of the Cotswolds. The couple were keen on putting on a show stopping event of food throughout their day and the highlight for us was the oyster bar. The guests were enjoying trying different options whilst taking in the breathtaking views of the rolling countryside.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

OUR MAIN VALUES

• Team spirit and respect for each other are essential to ensure a smooth running of our

events.

• Attention to detail – in service, kitchen or in the office, we never forget about the details.

• Service with a personal touch – no event we cater for is the same. We always adapt our

services to the desire of our clients to ensure complete satisfaction.

• Our ability to build strong, long-term repeat relationships with our customers is the key to our future success.

• Passion - for everything we do.

What about your business are you most proud of?

Our staff! We could not be more proud of them. They each strive for ultimate perfection at every turn.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Set a budget from the start

It should be one of the first things done before any wedding planning begins to happen. The budget will drive the number of guests and your wedding venue. It could also help you decide what is most important to you as a couple.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Northing makes me happier than when seeing all the decor come together on the wedding day. I especially like seeing table names that really represent a journey that the couple have been on together.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Initially I would drop the couple a welcome email, introducing myself and explaining all the steps. After that we would arrange a video or face to face meeting to get down to the finer details.
