The Plot Catering Co.

We chose The Plot Catering Co. to provide our wedding breakfast. Whilst the food was very tasty and in the run up to the event communication was well planned, there were a couple of things on the day that were quite disappointing and communication since has been non-existent. As such we want to provide some honest feedback on what we feel could have been improved. First and foremost, we attempted on two occasions to contact The Plot via email over a period of 4 weeks prior to making this public review, which we did not want to do at all, but we were not able to get any response. If we’d had even so much as a reply to acknowledge what had happened or apologise then we would not have written this review. 1) On multiple occasions prior to the event we were informed there would be a selection of bread rolls and butter for the tables, which is also written in The Plot’s brochure too. As such we separately rented 60 side plates for the tables. Sadly these bread rolls never materialised, nor the butter, and it was down to one of the wedding party to ask halfway through the meal where they were. When asked, one of the waitresses went away and came back to say that they’d been burned. There was no burned smell or evidence of these in the kitchen bin afterwards, so we can only assume they were forgotten. All we wanted was some acknowledgement of this, as ultimately we were left out of pocket for something not provided, which guests did notice too. 2) The portion sizes on the day were significantly smaller than at the tasting menu. This combined with the forgotten bread rolls meant guests were not full, despite it being a 3 course meal. Be aware also that the canapés are exceptionally small. 3) In an attempt to save money on what is the most expensive element of a wedding (catering) we had lovingly cut and prepared 5kgs + of strawberries ourselves to go with the cake for dessert, with clear instructions and acknowledgment that they were specifically for serving with the cake (which both Kris and Jenna said they were very happy to do). We were sad to see only a decorative couple of slices of strawberry served each, leaving 4+kgs of unused strawberries in the fridge. 4) The team of waiting staff were very friendly but very young, which without any obvious front of house leader meant initiative was not always there. The most obvious element of this was that replenishment of drinks was very sporadic and required a lot of prompting from guests.

We loved our canapés and wedding breakfast. Thank you for such an wonderful day

We cannot recommend The Plot Catering Co. enough. They recently catered for our wedding at The Ash Barton estate. Not only was the food exceptional in taste and creativity, but Kris and his team were supremely professional, ever helpful, extremely friendly and always willing to go above and beyond. From the minute we met Kris for the tasting, we knew we'd found the caterer for us! Thank you so much for helping to make our day the most magical day ever. We love you guys.

Kris catered my mums wedding and honestly she couldn’t of been happier with every single little detail. From the service to the edible flowers on the canapés. Even the service was delightful- smiles all round - everyone went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. A huge thank you - would highly recommend !!!!

Kris and his team were amazing. We had 3 months to find a caterer for our wedding day and from the first contact with Kris his enthusiasm, professionalism and obvious passion for good locally sourced and grown food shone through. He turned our vision of a wedding feast with an Italian theme into a beautiful and delicious reality. Kris laid on a full tasting ahead of the wedding and made the whole process so easy for us from start to finish, even providing beautiful printed menus for our tables. We were bowled over by the quality and quantity of food and had many compliments from our guests. Last but by no means least, Kris and the team were patient, polite and friendly in serving the feast, and we were so delighted they took up our invitation to join us in the 'dance yurt' later! Thanks to you all for helping to make our day so special, we didn't want it to end! Stuart & Bee
