Taste Caterer

There are no words for how much I love everything about the Taste team. We had planned to do a ‘magical, woodland themed wedding’, and none of the other caterers even came close to stepping up and sharing in our vision for the day as Steve and Charlotte. They understood instantly, from the very first phone call. The food was a massive talking point, both on the day and afterwards - for the flavours, for the magical presentation, for the fact that they were so good that they were all taken as soon as they arrived in the room - Steve said afterwards that they fully ran out of all of the canapes! (I’ve been to weddings where you see servers carrying around the same neglected canape trays on repeat once people have tried them - we were so thrilled that wasn’t the case for ours). We had people that normally skip the vegetarian option not only try some of the veggies - but every plate was cleared (even with the substantial portions). We cannot overstate how INCREDIBLE everything looked. The smoke, the feathers, the greenery all played into our theme of countryside, and just blew people away. “So much attention to detail! Even the fish and chip cones and the pizza boxes had been thought through!” - and we just have to say that all that magic, love and care came directly from Taste. Not only that, but the serving staff were genuinely amazing - so attentive, and the guests all commented on how lovely, thoughtful and helpful they were - something that people don’t normally notice - but we had a lot of comments afterwards about how they were so warm and thoughtful. For us personally - we spent the whole day feeling so taken care of. Charlotte was there all day helping manage guests, food flow and drinks - noticing things we hadn’t thought of and picking up the slack. Steve was amazing at keeping the steady flow of food coming all day - one of our vision words was “abundant” and they certainly delivered. Then looking after us all the way through the evening - they even prepared and hand delivered a couple of personal pizzas for us to take up to the honeymoon suite after dancing the night away. We felt seen, appreciated, and well taken care of - and we know the guests did as well. The whole process in the run up to the actual day itself is worth mentioning too - Steve and Charlotte were amazing not only on the day, but in the weeks and months beforehand - helping us to define what we actually wanted; narrowing down a huge list of half baked ideas into our ideal menu - and then were incredibly patient through all of our suggestions and changes. Nothing seemed to phase them - they were always there for us through the whole process. Meetings in their cabin on-site were so fun; the tasting session was even better - Steve fully prepared the whole menu for us to see how everything would actually work in practice, and the only issue was how much we struggled to narrow down the options afterwards to a final menu for the day! We cannot recommend Tate highly enough - not only was the food a genuine delight through the whole day, the presentation, the thought that went into it, the staff and the service were beyond our wildest dreams of what we could achieve with wedding catering. Their knowledge and expertise were second to none, and they were the calm in the middle of the storm of planning a wedding on three months’ notice. We went into the day with so many rough edges and things we hadn’t even considered - but Charlotte was always on hand to help, and Steve delivered above and beyond what we could have imagined. This might all sound like over-hype - but check the pictures and videos from the day; and in their brochures (it’s what sold us on calling in in the first place). The photos aren’t from an advertising studio or a controlled environment - they’re real, served in the middle of the chaos of 130 guests roaming across the huge venue. We couldn’t be happier - all we need now is another event we can host to get them back into our lives! Thank you - we love you both!

We got married (in the wind and rain!) at Cissbury Barns on 22nd August, and Taste Caterer did the most incredible job! We feel so lucky to have had them as our caterers, they were just amazing from day one! Tom, Steve and Charlotte are THE actual dream team; right from the outset, we felt so well looked after, everything was bespoke to our requirements, nothing was too much trouble and the actual quality of all the food from our canapés to our evening food was just the best!! Tom was such a delight to deal with – he was so organised, professional and friendly and provided us with lots of helpful advice and guidance. He was ever-present throughout the whole day, shielded me from the wind and rain, and made sure that both John and I had everything we needed! Meeting Steve at our preliminary meeting was such a joy - hearing the way he spoke about food just further solidified that we’d made the right choice. Steve is an incredibly talented, passionate chef and this is clearly reflected in the amazing food he creates! Charlotte created our wedding stationary which we were so pleased with – her designs were so polished and elegant, and were in perfect harmony with the rest of our wedding aesthetic! We have to mention our favourite bit which were the bespoke Schitts Creek themed table names with accompanying illustrations for each location – these were so beautiful and we loved them! The whole team did such a wonderful job on the day; everyone was friendly, efficient and happy to help - we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our guests gave us lots of amazing feedback about the food and the service, which is honestly the icing on top of the cake! All in all, we would HIGHLY recommend Taste Caterer – if you’re looking, take this as a sign and go and book them right now!! A great big huge THANK YOU to the whole team at Taste Caterer! We love you guys!

You guys absolutely smashed it and made a great day so special. Thank you from Pippa and me! It has felt like collaborating alongside friends at every stage of the process with you. You should be so proud of what you’ve created together. Dinner on us soon! Xx

We will be recommending Taste Caterer to everyone we know! We felt Steve and Charlotte went above and beyond to make sure the food on our wedding day was perfect and we could not be more grateful. Throughout the process they were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much or too difficult. They totally understood our vision and our guests were just blown away. The food was delicious! It totally made our day and we could not thank them enough.

Taste Caterer absolutely made our wedding day! Steve, Charlotte and Tom are an absolutely amazing team and we could not recommend them highly enough. If you’re looking for a team that can deliver your vision (and more) and that you can rely on to manage every detail, it’s them! We had some amazing feedback from our guests who loved the food and the service. We were also incredibly impressed with the last minute wet weather plan that the team pulled off, as it was just as great and meant...

The food was absolutely stunning, we enjoyed every bite! I would love to be able to say a favourite but I want to list off the whole menu… we so appreciated how bespoke we could make the menu, it felt so perfect for us. And all the special touches made it so magical. So many of our friends and family and complimented the food and raved about the canapés, mains, desserts and noodles!! Quotes such as ‘the best wedding food ever’ and ‘it felt like a restaurant, how did they do it in that tent’ are

Thank you Steve and your team so much for making our day so special, run so smoothly, stress free and with amazing food and service. We couldn’t have asked anymore from you and the team and want to say a huge thank you for that. Would highly recommend!

We hosted the wedding reception for our son and his lovely wife in our garden and Steve and Charlotte and their team were absolutely amazing. The food was spectacular (Our nephew had been to 6 weddings previously this year and he said the food here was by far the best!!). It was beautifully presented and delicious! The team were so attentive throughout the day and could not do enough for us. Thank you so much you really made the day feel so special!

Steven & Charlotte we absolutely wonderful to work with. From our first consultation with them, they made us feel that they were 100% invested in our wedding theme and were full of ideas on how to theme the food too. They took on board everything we had to say and gave us total freedom to personalise the dishes. They are also fantastic value for money and worth every penny. Not only was the wedding breakfast incredible but the canapés & evening buffet were fantastic too.

We can't fault anything our day was perfect and amazing. The staff was very friendly, helpful and attentive. They certainly knew what they were doing. The food was amazing, can't fault anything. The day was perfect would highly recommend to anyone thinking of a using them. Tom was amazing and kept us informed throughout. The entire staff were amazing.
