What Our Clients
Have To Say

Me and my husband could not thank Jen and the team enough for all their hard work on our wedding day. The whole day ran perfectly all thanks to Jen organising everything for us, and the food was just delicious.

All our family and friends have passed such lovely comments about the food. Thank you xx

Rebecca and Dean

Everything we could have wanted and more! The food, the organisation, the attention to detail and the attentive team. From start to finish there wasn't anything that was too much trouble. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough, our day would not have been the same without you!

Fran and Mike

One of the best decisions we made in booking our wedding was to book Southcott for the catering. We went for the canapés and then the barbecue and sticky toffee pudding. We could not fault Southcott for their service in the lead up to the wedding and on the day. We met with Jen and she was super helpful and we felt like she went above and beyond in helping us plan out the day. The food itself was excellent, with many guests saying it was the best wedding catering they had had. All the staff were so professional and friendly and it meant that on the day we were so calm about the proceedings because we trusted Jen so completely. If you haven’t already, book them now.
