Fantastic

Circa recently catered for our wedding and I couldn’t recommend them enough. Several of our friends had recommended them and said their food is fantastic. From start to finish (even during a pandemic) we had a great experience. Liv and Sara were so helpful in organising everything leading up to the wedding and always very responsive. The food was exceptional and everyone enjoyed the Mediterranean sharing platters. Special thanks to Ben and his team who made our day even more special!

Fantastic

The barn is beautiful, and the catering on the wedding day was fantastic. All of the dishes were served promptly and on schedule with our plan. The presentation of the meals was superb and had the flavours to match. The team were prepared to go the extra mile to work around us on the day and adapt as needed which was much appreciated.

Outstanding

The attention to detail that Circa have is totally outstanting. We were so chuffed with the service they provided, not only on the day, but their communication beforehand too. All of the guests commented on the food, especially the pizza! Many asking for the name of the catering team for their own weddings in the near future. The Staff's presence was fantastic throughout the day. A big thank you to Gote Barn & the Circa Team!

Wonderful

Circa were wonderful to work with right from the start. I dealt with the same person at circa throughout the process and this was really appreciated as I felt they understood my vision. On the day the Event Manager was absolutely fantastic. The whole team were professional, friendly and most importantly the food was delicious

Above and Beyond

Circa went above and beyond at our wedding. We had a high volume of people who were alcohol free and circa were really helpful and sensitive about it. The food was exceptional. Every guest commented on how lovely the food was. The staff went out of their way to get us extra coffee and Liv was particularly good with tips about napkins for my dress etc. Can't fault them!
