Delicious and Seamless

Southcott Catering helped our wedding breakfast run smoothly and easily. The service on the day was seamless. They even served hot chocolate alongside the tea and coffee at our request, which was appreciated by a handful of our guests. The food was amazing and I know enjoyed by everyone. I especially want to thank them for catering for our coeliac guests on the day.

Thank you!

Our experience with Southcott Events Catering was fantastic, from our first venue meeting, to the lovely food tasting morning at their kitchens and right through to our wedding day. Jen is so friendly and organised and helped us with the timings of our day as well as the food. She really made us feel like everything was under control and it helped us feel a lot more relaxed, especially on the wedding day itself, as she made sure everything ran smoothly for us so that we didn’t have to worry. The food was amazing and catered for all diets, and dishes were adapted to cater for one severe nut allergy, whilst still allowing us to have our perfect menu. The service was impeccable and our guests loved the wedding breakfast. SEC without a doubt serve the best sticky toffee pudding we’ve ever had (we’ve had a lot!) The starter and main options on their menu are really inventive, as are the intricate canapés (the mini sausages, mini bruschettas and mini shepherds pies went down a treat!) We can’t recommend Jen and Luke enough!

We couldn't have wished for a better team!

From start to finish Jen, Luke and the Southcott team have been nothing but amazing! We couldn’t have wished for a better team to help us celebrate our wedding weekend! Nothing was too much trouble and they made everything work with ease! We had a pre wedding barbecue, the wedding day and afternoon tea the following day and there wasn’t one item of food that wasn’t loved! We honestly can’t thank you all enough! I wish we could do it all again just for all of the delicious food and the friendly environment from all of your team! You really did make our wedding so special! Thank you!

Amazing food and service!

Thank you so much for the amazing food and service you provided on our wedding day at Eden Barn. We’ve had so many messages from friends saying how much they loved the food, particularly the Mac & Cheese! All of your team were so friendly and it was great to chat to them on the day. My drink was never empty! We are also really grateful for the extra canapes you placed on the table in front of Alex and I, knowing we’d been too busy to eat during the reception, it’s the little touches like that that really set you apart from other catering teams. Thank you also for accommodating our singing waiters… one of our guests thought they were actually part of your team until we told them the next morning! The food was delicious and really home cooked style. I wish I could have taken some doggy bags home with me! Thank you again for making our day so special.

“Southcott Events Catering were incredible. We wanted a relaxed, serve-yourself BBQ and they did exactly what we wanted. The food was out of this world and we got so many comments on how good it was, especially the steak and the salmon.”

Everyone commented on how great the food was!

From the very first discussion with Jen, we knew we were in capable hands. Jen, Luke and their team were amazing. Jen was so organised and helped us plan out our day and guided us expertly through the process. Luke's food is delicious, everyone has commented on how great the food was. We are both vegetarian so wanted the veggie option to be good, and it was more than we could have hoped for - even the meat eaters said how delicious the mushroom burgers in the evening were. The whole Southcott team were great, very professional yet friendly. They even made sure we got canapes and evening food (It's really easy to forget to eat when you're having so much fun!). We couldn't recommend them enough, they were a huge part in helping us have a great day, just what you need on your special day.

Couldn't have asked for better

Jen, Luke and the whole team at Southcott were incredible and we could not have asked for better caterers. The food was completely delicious, with so many of our guests commenting that it was the best wedding food they’d ever tasted. But it wasn’t just the food that Southcott excelled at. Jen was so incredibly helpful throughout the planning of the wedding and the team were exceptional on the day. We were thrilled with Southcott and wouldn’t think twice about recommending them.

A meal to remember

To the lovely Southcott team, Jez and I would like to thank you so much for making our wedding day so special. Jen, we can’t thank you enough for making the day run so smoothly. Truly faultless thanks to your hard work behind the scenes. Everything was executed perfectly and the whole day ran on time. Giving us literally nothing to worry about. Luke and the kitchen team, the meal was wonderful and we’ve had so many positive comments. A meal to remember for so many reasons. I’m sure you’ll have my mum emailing for the sticky toffee pudding recipe and I haven’t stopped craving that lamb! And thanks to the waiting staff, for being so polite and accommodating of our merry guests and ensuring Jez and I were fed and watered at all times! To all, thanks for making our visions of the day come true. We couldn’t of done it without you and you made it the smoothest of starts to our marriage. We wish you all the best for the future and your partnership with Eden barn. With love from The Bartons.
