I am so grateful I found Claret Catering for my wedding. I worked with Jo on putting together an afternoon tea buffet and we had pizza and chips in the evening. The standard of the food was impeccable, it was good value for money and the staff (Jo included) on the day were well presented, professional and all went above and beyond what I expected (Jo even sewed my dress up when the strap broke)! I cannot recommend these guys highly enough, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Jon & I got married 6th Aug '21. Despite being faced with the 'pingdemic' & possible food supply issues, Jo went above & beyond to make sure the catering for our day was exactly what we wanted. She was organised, a brilliant communicator & thought of things we hadn't considered. The food on the day, canapes, a sit down wedding breakfast & evening buffet, were all amazing, as well as the staff! We would highly recommend Claret Catering!

We've used Claret Catering on a number of occasions. Dawn and her team are always professional. Each occasion has been tailor made for our requirements. The personal touches add to the special occasion. We've arranged event dinners, team building day lunches, Team party 'candy sweet trolley' & hog roast with bar.
We now recommend Claret to anyone looking for event catering.

We have been working with Dawn and Jo since March 2019 for a proposed April 2020 wedding which unfortunately was postponed twice due to lockdowns. We finally got married in July 2021 so have been working with Dawn and Jo on and off for a little over 2 years. Dawn helped us with suggested menus as we had no idea where to start. Both were always at the end of an email as during the 2 years there have been tweaks, number changes, price adjustments etc. Both Dawn and Jo were always happy to meet, sometimes out of hours as we do not live locally. Jo even transported our cake to the venue as we could

I have known Dawn and her team for many years through being a local florist, I have worked on many weddings that have been catered by Claret, they have always been welcoming and helpful to me and my team. Our mutual brides have described the service they’ve received from Dawn and Jo as being over and above that expected from a caterer!!
I have also been both a client for my mother’s wake and a guest at a couple of weddings catered by them, the standard of service is exceptionally high and the food outstanding.
I would highly recommend Claret Catering!!

As a wedding supplier I have had the pleasure of knowing Dawn and her team for several years now and have found her to be one of the best caterers in the area. Not only does she provide excellent service and food for her clients but ALWAYS looks after her fellow suppliers as well.
I would have no hesitation in recommending her to any of my clients.
